Anyone headed to Myrtle Beach Bike Week

Is anybody going to be there? Perhaps some of the members can get together for a ride? I am arriving 5/12 and am leaving 5/17. Please let me know.

Regards,
German

God I'd love to, even with having to go through all the helmet states but unfortunately I just have too much lab work and Dr's appointments to deal with. I have made it there once, rode all the way from Phoenix and it was a great ride. That was on my ol' shovelhead no less! AL

I'm there right now driving the links instead of driving the bike. I here it's still cold and winter back home. Wish I could make it back for bike week!!

NOT GOING TO THE SPRING RALLY, BUT WILL BE THERE IN THE FALL. HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE

LIVE EASY, RIDE HARD:rocket_bike:

We have a house in Mearls Inlet for bike week. As of now about 10 of us should be down there. That means I need to get off my arse and get my patches from Chuck.

you need to get that bike done as well!!! :roflmao:

I Wish

Hey Voodoo and you too Cowboy :roflmao: She will be ready in plenty of time. Nothing left to buy at this point so it is all down hill.

Well that's 10 of you and two of us from NJ becasue Voodoochild does not want to socialize with you. He did tell me that he did not played well with others Hmmmm?

Anyway, I'll be arriving on the 12th and staying at Kingston Plantation, North Myrtle Beach off Rte. 17 on the beach, near barefoot landing? Don't know if you are familiar with the area?

Let me know if you guys woud like to gather up and do some riding? We can probably exchange mobile numbers and hook up when we are in the area. This is my first, but if you have had the experience before, can you give some guidelines about the nice places to be?

Talk to you soon,
German

Well man sorry to say this is my first run to MBBW as well. Oh well new friends and new territory to explore WTF, I am game for it LOL. I should be down there late on the 11th.

Hey wait a minute are you riding down or driving down. I won't get to ride down thanks to wifey and her schooling. She and I will be driving down Sunday (11th), so if you will be coming through our area about that time maybe we can meet up and head that way then.

I will not ride down (time constraints). Our bikes are being transported and we'll pick them up down there on the 12th. We were going to ride but it would mean missing Mother's day? Who was I kidding?

Instead, we'll catch a fly from NJ to Myrtle Beach and then utilize the week to get as many miles as possible?

As the time gets closer, we should exchange numbers and plan to get together somewhere.

Mine is being drug down on the 10th. I didn't want wifey to have to drive down alone so I don't get to ride but like you mine will be waiting on me there. With any luck I will get to ride back home.

You have a PM coming with my #.

C'mon now German, I play well with other "bikers", just not regular folk too well....:roflmao: I deal with the public on a daily basis, that's why I don't like to deal with them while I'm relaxing on my bike. See if "I" was going to bike week......I would ride my bike there....DOH!! Sorry, I had to, you know I'm a ball buster! But I ALSO know that you don't F with the wives, they can make your life a living hell! So, I understand having the bikes transported down there, don't like it, but I understand!

Have fun and be safe!

Voodochild,

If I can only convince you to come along, we'd have a blast! Too bad indeed. In fact, if you were to come, I sure as heck ride down there with you.

My neighbor has a bad back, he can only get three to four hours in before he is in trouble, that is why we went the trasport way, and you are right, wives would have made our lives a tad difficult!

Later man!

:roflmao: NO Worries guys. Skin tain't no thicker than that little bit best keep my arse off the two wheel things LOL. Actually I didn't expect it but got a kick out of it when I read it. And just so you know the rear wheel is back on. Along with a busted lip thanks to a rusted exhaust bolt. More would have gotten finished had I not gotten so torqued over that :roflmao: Figured I had best quit before I got too ticked and made more work for myself . No temper here :devil:

There are two things worse than having your ride trailered to a bike rally:

1. Going to a rally without your bike (Right, SK?) That has to suck!

2. Wanting to, and not being able to go at all.

So while I would hate to have to trailer my bike, I won't get too snobby with those that do. I may have to trailer it some time, and crow is not on my favorite food list.

There are a whole bunch of darn good reasons folks may have to need to trailer their rides, other than the standard "It don't run". But, yeah, I can't say I understand the guys that trailer it everywhere so they can make beer runs on it & look cool.

Have fun out there. Hope that Carolina sun shines sweet for ya!
:cheers:

I remember a t-shirt that said "Trailering is a Curable Disease, help is Available"
In my own experience, I had to do a short job up in Durango Co and stay in a motel. Not really worth renting a storage unit for the bike which I did on most other jobs. Well the country was so pretty that when we finally got a day off and everybody was going for a ride, I said Ill be damned if Im staying in the motel all weekend. So down to the Harley dealer I went and rented a heritage softail, expensive but worth every cent. Especially since I was being paid really well. AL
