Myrtle Beach May 24th-27th

(Ken02busa @ May 22 2007,16:56) I did some googling, and found some real good articles.

The one that settled it ended with "the NAACP Suiing the city for discrimination during Black Bike Week" after which everyone involved got a slap on the pee pee by the Judge and no one was happy afterwards.

Gotcha

you must have gotten a headache before you read this far down-
-Quote from same article-
"The most vocal proponent of the traffic scheme is Mark McBride, Myrtle Beach's 41-year-old mayor, who has defended the city's policing of the event and has called for Black Bike Week to be shut down. In 1999, he asked then-governor Jim Hodges to send the National Guard to patrol the event, a request the governor declined. In April of this year, during a legal proceeding aimed at shutting down the event, McBride said that black bikers "wanted to disregard the law, sit on top of their cars, and smoke dope." But according to the Myrtle Beach Police Department, the crime level at each event is usually about the same. This spring, actually, there were five traffic fatalities and 22 felony arrests during the Harley rally, and one death and 14 felony arrests during Black Bike Week."


yeah, that WAS a real good, well-informed article about the continual struggle against segregation and racisim here in the US even among motorcycle gatherings.

Man, you need to get out more! It's the same thing as Native Canadian week in Canada!!! or what do you guys call the natives up there? Let me guess! I was stationed in Montana and use to visit Lethbridge and Calgary frequently! So, I'm well informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can still remember when Myrtle Beach discriminated against motorcycles period, no matter what color they were.

If you were on two wheels, the motels lost your reservations, couldn't get seated in restaurants, etc. You can keep Myrtle Beach.

The last time we were there was with the Blue Knights back in the mid 80's. The motel clerk tried to tell our pres that we didn't have reservations. If we didn't leave he'd call the police. He slapped his badge on the counter and told him he WAS the police. Haven't been back since. They finally figured out they could make money and wanted us in there.

(VaBusa @ May 22 2007,10:28) Hey, wait!  Are there any bridges?!  

 I know how you are around those man...  

If there is I am SOL....  I actually made it across the Bay Bridge last week.  I was doing 10mph  

 People cagers were pissed.... I really need to see a shrink about this bridge thing....

I don't do big bridges well myself. I hate heights.
I think it's funny that I can rip through the Mountains on a bike and then have an axiety attack when presented with a coastal bridge.

I just got back from Disney World and on the way I had to cross the bridges running thrugh Jacksonville, FL. as well as a couple more between there and Savannah. I don't poke when crossing though. I try to get on, over, and off as quickly as possible.

Oh, and I will likely ride over to Myrtle some time this week. I always have my camera so I'm sure a few pics will make their way here if I can find the time to ride.

Saw a sweet orange ride. It reminded me of the foil wrapped Brach's caramels. Asked the guy about it, and he said it was chromed and then painted orange.

I'm thinking that BigDiesel has been drinking!

Someone tie a chain to his belt and drag him back from the bar before he hurts someone!

He might tip over and land on someone!

Something vexes thee little fella?

 

[Ken02busa]

I knew I would get chit on asking about BBW.
I was trying to make a point.

If anyone held a White bike week, other than Sturgis, there would be hangings.

It's ok learning from a Canadian BD, but don't wait too long to see what it's like, once you guys his par with us ($USD/$CAD) we will let you stay in Canada South

 

[Smoke_Dog]

Man you need to cut it out! The whole point is anytime something doesn't have the man's spin on it, you have to give it another name! So guess what happened! The opposite of white is what? Damn, I'm tired of telling people why things are the way it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just try something new for a change and you might like it. By the way my wife is Lakota Sioux and from Rapid City! So just think what it would be like if the Indians had their way, Gen. Custer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way it took the Buffalo Soldiers to help save ...... Let me stop!

I went to Myrtle a couple of years ago, What a waste! Stayed into the next week,BBK, for acouple of days. What a blast. Lotta sharp bikes & a lotta chicks on hot bikes, or is it hot chicks on bikes, or hot chicks on hot bikes. I don't know I'm confused just thinking about it. That's the week I'ld go just watch your bike, several came up missing. Scum bags are every where and there too.

BigDyou did make a point-Canadian's all forgot what happend in the US less than 100 years ago)

If anyone held a White bike week, other than Sturgis, there would be hangings.

BigDagain-rewind USA 100 years)
Do the Canadians skip US history, or do they just tell the class "those losers are all crazy anway-no one cares what happend there" ?

BigD:I guess I cant really make MY point, unless I gave you a perm. Extra-Tan and sent you shopping in Nordstroms or let you try to reserve a hotel room at the Hilton in biker gear-WITH the tan....see how that goes n then you'll 'get' my point.
