This could work. Have to see how things are once it gets closer.  Its about 14 hours from where I live so not too far.THE MUFFMAN

So, you'd most likely be coming down through Michigan and picking up 64 East...is that correct? I would be heading 95 South to 64 East. Unless I decided to take 17 South...I've done that before. Longer ride...but I wouldn't have to deal with that 95 madness...

 We'll have to keep this thread active when it gets closer to April & make some plans to get together...

Crossing over the Canadian border at the Peace Bridge(New York) I would probably take US 219 to Altoona then cut across to US -30 East & go from there. Have to see which way the GPS wants to take me. THE MUFFMAN

Keep me informed, as 30 will give you alot of options to head south...you could jump on 15, or take 30 toward Baltimore and come down 95...15 is a nice ride...if we convince DCFIREMANN to come, you could hook up with him since 30 comes near Mount Airy...then y'all could hook up with me.

If the leaders of the community do not want you there then there you have it...too bad for the businesses that do...

Jock, I'm in agreement there. If MB does not want bikers, I just won't go back. Nor will I go during the year. Business occasionally takes me up there but I can fill the truck up with diesel and eat in Georgetown just as easily as in MB. I see no need to spend another dollar up there.

Too bad the original artical link you posted is no longer available.
Would like to have read it.

It's my belief that it's only Myrtle Beach that wants us out and not NMB, Cherry Grove, Surfside, etc.  I'll still go to the places that I'm wanted !!!

Sorry about that. Here's just one of many links to the crap that's going on down there. If I can find a good summary of what was passed I'll post the link here.

All the stuff going on the MB really disturbs me as read into the idea the WE are not wanted there. Read a news blurb about changes awhile back and saw a different angle.
we all know the issues that brought this to a head so I will leave as is but after reading these changes, I have a different view.
I hope my feeling is right but, I don't think it's that WE are not wanted. all those laws I have NO problem with. good safety issues, if they were imposed 10 yrs ago we would not be talking about it. I know "the Man makes laws to keep us down" well at 50 +years old, I am the man.
I see that the underlying message is BBB needs to move on and this is the only way they can achieve it.
Have you ever talked to business owners in MB. Last year I ate lunch next to a lady from the chamber of commerce. could not have been nicer. The Issue and only issue is BBB.
Sorry but true

I disagree on a bunch of that. WE includes all riders. WE have stupid riders across the board that brings on this chit. WE were young once and did some stupid things but WE either paid the price or got away w/ it. WE, at least me, doesn't want to have to worry about putting on a lid whenever WE or me goes through some town which has asserted a higher right than the State. WE may be "the man" so WE should know that existing laws work, just enforce them equally. I mean really, WTF does a citywide helmet law have to do w/ BBB? WE have limited resources so I will now spend them elsewhere. If WE read the discourses that led to these laws there was condemnation of motorcyclists by all members of the city government. They all purported to represent their constituency.
One of the greater lessons learned through school and life was that it's just easier to punish the "class" than to single out the troublemakers and deal w/ them. WE are the class and WE have been punished. I really hate being a good boy and getting punished for someone else. Pure and simple, I won't stand for it on my dime.
Anyway, the general tone of the new ordinances AND the huge increase in vendor permits and restrictions make it pretty clear to me that M. B. wants golfers and putt putters and not motorcyclists. Wish granted. Enjoy yourself, hope folks show up and have a good time. I'm choosing Eureka instead this year.

Well said. We all are going to pay for the stupidity of a few even the residents of MB will pay when their taxes rise, and they have to support services that bikers have been paying for when spending there $$$ at MB.
