I still go and I want others to go to keep it alive. Plenty of stuff to do and easy enough to avoid MB proper.

I didn't go last year, but did for a few years before that. Now that I've moved to NC, I plan on going this year. I'm going to have the wife trailer the bike down, and I'm taking our boat down the ICW from Carolina Beach to the Barefoot Landing. We'll use it as our "floating hotel" for 3-4 days, and enjoy the rally, as well as some boating in the area.

I hear it's still a fun rally, and no worries either north or south of the city. That's fine, because that's where everything is at anyway.

I've been going for 20 years and will be there from Sunday to Sunday as usual this year. I hope lots of people will boycott this year like they did last year, because I haven't booked my room yet and hope their lack of attendance will help me get a good rate.

I've been to both the spring and fall rallies, every year since 2003, The rally really has dropped off since about 1997, that said, it is what it is. You can go and still have a good time, avoid the city if possible. nmb and the murrells inlet area both have something to offer. ride safe

Why punish the "Rally promotors" just because the city of MB had to show their fannies? It's like punnishing all the children in the class when one kid misbehaves. My husband and I have a time share at Murrells Inlet. We go down several times a year. I never spend anytime in MB. That city is nasty and all you have is t-shirt shops and junk. There are plenty of things to do, many other beaches and plenty of attractions. Lots of rodes to ride. Everyone should swarm the place, not spend one red cent in MB and show them that they aren't the controllers. IMHO
