The Jamaican government did a study ( with tax dollars ) to see why there are so many deadly motorcycle accidents in Jamaica …
I think you’ll be surprised at the results.
batty riders ??? 
Actually every single one of those pics were shot in Myrtle Beach SC!!!
I like it there.
+1…thats all Myrtle Beach South Carolina. ‘Atlantic Beach Bike Week’, aka: ‘Black Bike Week’.
Obviously SC is a helmet optional state, between 2-300,000 bikers (and entourage) from all around head over there for a gathering of bikers to partake in fun, sun, meet, greet, eats. It’s generally 4-days long that starts the last Thursday in May thru til the following Monday (Memorial Day holiday- most generally use that day to pack up and begin the exodus home).
Like almost every other motorcycle ‘bikefest’ in the USA it is a total squid fest. Hardly anyone wearing gear but truth be told there isnt much of any kneedragging going on anyhow, it’s all cruising and crawling and showing off really. It’s rather congested and is heavily patrolled by layers of law enforcement (state, county and local) to an unnecessarily rediculous degree so there is virtually no speeding or hooliganism whatsoever. This is predominantly a sportbike crowd with a mix of stock, modified and highly customized sportbikes (I think all the 'busas ever manufactured converge there for this event…all stretched, lowered and custom painted of course). All manner of races and ethnicities attend and are welcome although it is predominantly Afro-American.
Dont bash the name, it has a history as to why it came about. There is a ‘bikeweek’ the prior week frequented by the harley crowd and it was because of a tradition of exclusion why this other bike week came into being. The USA…I’ll never fully understand it.
Careful now you talking bout my HOMETOWN… but you are right. but being an ex-copper from there I can say that as long as you dont do anything STUPID, you can generally have a right blast…
