We look forward to seeing all bikers for the 69th Annual Spring Bike Week (May 8-17) in Horry County (everywhere but the City of Myrtle Beach) in 2009.
The City of Myrtle Beach has initiated a media campaign designed to deter the good, law abiding motorcycle riders from coming to our area. The information being disseminated by the Grand Strand Chamber of Commerce and City of Myrtle Beach does not accurately portray the views of the people of Horry County. The majority of people and businesses look forward to you visiting and desperately rely on your visiting to make it through the year.
The last I checked, bikers aren’t going to be intimidated. As always, if you come to our area and obey the laws and respect our community you have nothing to worry about. The City of Myrtle Beach can’t stop you from visiting the other areas of Horry County. We are encouraged by the emails we are getting from people saying they are coming anyway. There is no reason for you not to come. As H-D says, “Screw It, Let’s Ride!”
Furthermore, the City of Myrtle Beach has never played a role in bike week and has made it clear they don’t want to play a role. In years past, over 90% of the events taking place were outside the limits of the City of Myrtle Beach. The new rules and regulations really WILL NOT affect your visit or any of the activities and events.
