Myrtle Beach bike rally is no more…again…According to Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association, it’s being completely moved out of S. Carolina to New Bern, N. Carolina.

I’ve had a ballbuster of a week battling the flu and juggling my work load (what’s a sick day?) and can finally take a breath and get a post out to you guys. About a week ago I read an article that said the spring rally in S. Carolina is not neccessarily dead after all. [...]

Yesterday we talked about the demise of the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally.  Like I mentioned, I’ve only been to that rally once and found it pretty fun. I met a few interesting people and tested myself riding the 1000 miles there and back. There was some mixed reaction to the City of Myrtle Beach shutting [...]

I was checking out the videos on Harley-Davidson’s youtube channel and found this one from this year’s Women’s Day Ride in Daytona. While I don’t always go for the pep-rally feel of women only events, I have to admit that a group of 500 women riding their own bikes must have been a site to [...]

What’s up with the Myrtle Beach bike rallies? Arguments are still raging between residents and the rally supporters. Unfortunately it does appear that the days of the May rallies are numbered.

The 85th annual Laconia Bike Week came one week late this year, but was still chocked with what we’ve come to expect of bike week; bikes, rain, heat, rain and more rain. We could only spare time for day trip this year (my stinky new job is eating into all my fun “me” time) and [...]
