As a local resident, and motorcycle rider of many many years, it's an unfortunate thing that all motorcycle riders get labeled. I must agree with the other comment about the trouble being started by the wanna Be's.As what happened in Myrtle Beach, Mayor Macon should think twice about his comments, because those that ride Motorcycles also have Families,and spend money out and about, and would "Come down and have fun, go out to eat, go to bars, and listen to music", however it's happened before in Many area's that once the Town wants to pick and choose there guest's, there guest's can pick and choose Another town to go and spend there money. That goes for us local folk as well. I happen to ride with the Fire Department Motorcycle Club and every weekend many many of us get together for a ride and go have breakfast out, than have lunch out somewhere else and sometimes dinner too. This happens with most that ride on the weekends, I certainly am going to spread the word to stay off and away from Carolina Beach,and all it's business establishments, and if the word get's around, A financial impact it will have on business's and Carolina Beach in general. I will make a point not to bring my family over the bridge anymore, Plenty of other beaches to go to. Have a nice summer Mayor Joel and town council members.
Will hurt local business's in the long run......
