Myrtle Beach Bike Week!

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Over 300,000 motorcycle enthusiasts are expected for Myrtle Beach's 65th Annual Spring Bike Rally! The Myrtle Beach Area is one of the top vacation destinations in the nation with over 16 million visitors annually. Each spring the Grand Strand of South Carolina hosts a multitude of bikers who enjoy the great weather and 60 miles of beautiful coastline as well as the many special events planned for the rally.
From May 13-22, the roads will be a sea of chrome as far as the eye can see. The Myrtle Beach Spring Rally is the 3rd largest bike rally in the country, and one of the fastest growing events in the Southeast. Every effort is made by sponsors, dealers, vendors and locals
to welcome the visiting bikers! You'll find many of the vendors
in the Inlet Square Mall/Murrells Inlet, SC area. On the Mall
side of the highway there will be more than 5 acres for vendors
and over 20 acres of paved parking for customers, with easy
access from both Business and Bypass 17! The Myrtle Beach Resort, just one mile South of the Harley Davidson Dealership and minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach and the celebrated Pavilion amusement area, has 24 hour security for all of their guests, and a specially guarded area for their guests' bikes. Woody Perry, Chief of Security at the Myrtle Beach Resort, states: "Accommodating over 300,000 Harley Davidson motorcycles per day for almost a week is no easy task for resort operators. These bikers bring lots of welcome pre-season dollars to the Grand Strand and pre-planning their arrival is a necessary task. We accommodated more than 2000 motorcycles at the Resort during last year’s rally, and we expect even more this year.” His payroll more than doubles during Bike Week as he supplements his staff to control traffic, parking, and security. “We’ve done this year-after-year,” quotes Perry, “and the bikers appreciate that we establish special security for their equipment. Many of the motorcycles we see here run well in excess of $20,000 and we provide an area solely for bikes with 24 hour security. We also have a separate lot for trailer parking.” When asked if he was ready for Bike Week to commence again this year, Perry responded, “we’ll be all set!” For Huge Discounts on Myrtle Beach Hotels: Hot Rate Myrtle Beach Hotels
