Whats the deal with MB Bike Week? Is it worth the trip? Looking at a few of the sites promoting it, they all say take this and that road, avoid City of Myrtle Beach at all costs, etc. Dont need my b*lls broken for nothing. Looking at Murrell's Inlet? Anybody been there this past summer and know the real deal? A buddy really wants to go and I dont feel like riding 700 miles to have a bunch of nonsense going on. Are most of the better biker joints out of the city limits? Looking for a place to stay with a good bar close by. Yes....I love beer. Botz

Forgive me Father for I have sinned!!! A few months ago V-TWIN mag had an article about what it was like this year.No, I didn't buy or read the article( I swear). Murrels Inlet is basically the southern part of M.B. The most popular bars are Suck,Bang,Blow( there are two of them) and one is in that part of the area. The other big one is is N. Myrtle Beach, H.B. Spokes, thats where VRYQUICK wins his dyno shootout!! From what I read earlier this year, all the happenings were north of M.B., out of city limits. I had a blast last year and hope to go back soon. It is so much cleaner, spread out and not nearly as congested as Daytona.

Some of the city folk are trying to fight back. Trying to vote in a new Mayor.
You must avoid the city of M.B. if you don't want a ticket for loud exhaust, or worse, no helmet.
Merrels Inlet is ouside the city limits and a good place to party. Alot of vendors didn't bother this year simply because M.B. city officials wouldn't give out enough permits...
I wouldn't go back to that rally. I went last year (2008) and to be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. I rode 780 miles to get there and this was before the helmet and exhaust issues, and I didn't feel the need to return. Just not that great of a rally IMHO.
But, if you go, just beware of the new laws.
