Generally it is a friendly place that has become very family friendly through the years, you get to meet people from around the country who ride the same kinds of bikes you do, Also for those of us that attend them there are at least 2 AA or NA meeting a day going on. All of that said if Rally’s aren’t you thing don’t go Last edited by nhgunnut; 05-14-2008 at 07:45 AM.. Reason: I cant spell |

if it's bike related, i'm interested. i don't get how people can be a 2 wheeled enthusiast but hate on certain bikes. that'd be like me staying away from an event due to gixxers being there, or something. go share your passion for everything with 2 wheels, people! that's what it's all about. i wish i lived closer. i'd love to go (and sturgis, daytona as well). someday....

Irregardless, I still hate hearing every year about someone dying... I'm sure it will happen again... It wasn't that there were certain bikes or whatever... it was more me questioning whether there was really much going on about riding. Sounds like there may be, it has definitely changed over the years if that is the case.

Yeah that is the hard part for those of us who live here. It gives those of us who ride responsibly such a bad name. Last year there were a total of 7 deaths. One was simply unavoidable. A couple from Canada had stopped at a rest area along one of the scenic highways were pulling out at low speed when a branch from a tree broke loose and fell. The husband was able to duck but the branch hit the woman in the face and helmet killing her. The other 6 were simply the result of what we locally refer to as "Flatlanders" A group of 7 heavy Cruisers Most helmet-less riding in a pack west on Route 9 when on of the them crossed the double line on a blind corner hitting a a SUV who locked up the brakes spun sideways and went thru the rest of the pack like a bowling ball thru pins resulting in 6 dead.

It's the same here for Myrtle Beach Bike Week. The deaths last year were mostly preventable. Despite the shadow these accidents cast, it's nice to meet up with people who share your passion and hobby.

Despite the shadow these accidents cast, it's nice to meet up with people who share your passion and hobby. Take this place for example. Do you agree with the riding styles, bike styles, or opinions of everyone here? Probably not, but it's nice to meet so many people who love what you love. |

it's probably because she posted then hit back and edited it... instead of double posts... it merged them...
or... she's insane... I vote the later |

The wife and I are going up because we were invited by some friends that live not too far from there. I've been to Daytona and Myrtle Beach a few times for bike week and would love to make Sturgis some day. Last edited by z06boy; 05-14-2008 at 12:02 PM.. |
