Safty Tip #1

According to The National Transportation Safety Board the yearly number of deaths in motorcycle related fatalities has more than doubled in the last ten years, more deaths in fact than the combined total of all people killed in all aviation, rail, marine and pipeline accidents, with head injuries being the number one cause of death. The numbers are so scary the National Transportation Safety Board unanimously approved motorcycle safety recommendations requiring states to mandate riders to wear helmets.

We know that many visitors Myrtle Beach Fall Rally come from areas where the helmet laws are different. Here is a reminder of the the South Carolina Helmet Law.

Title 56. Motor Vehicles. Chapter 5. uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways. Article 29. Motorcyclists; Rights and Duties Thereof. Section 56-5-3660. Helmets shall be worn by operators and passengers under age twenty-one; helmet design; list of approved helmets. :

"It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of twenty-one to operate or ride upon a two-wheeled motorized vehicle unless he wears a protective helmet of a type approved by the department. . . ."

Jamin' Leather neither approves or disapproves in the law. Jamin' Leather wants you to have a great time and return home safely.

I'm an Weenie

To most, this what motorcycle rallies are all about. I/we/they all think bite the weenie, suck, bang, blow, bobbin for dildos all have something to do with sex, when in fact they are typical of the sexual euphemisms used to describe games that are played at most motorcycle rallies. Personally I'm waiting for burping the worm in the mole hole, parking the pink plymouth in the garage of love(Hope the boss/wife doesn't see this one), zallywhacking (Mommy what's a zally?) to become acceptable game names. That'll really get them thumpers going.

The more obvious choices, wet t-shirt contest, mud wresstling, pudding wrestling , beer belly contest, frozen t-shirt contest, hot buns, shake the buns, these are easily understand and shunned. Good old fashioned, clean American sex is a favorite for being ????.

But that is only the tip (no pun intended) of what happens. There are also:

• South Carolina MC
  
• Sons of Gog MC
  
• Christian Motorcycle Clubs Google Results

What are all of those games about? I haven't got a clue. I do know that in the world motorcycles nothing is as it seems. Game names with sexual innuendos that have nothing to do with what they are implying, just a come on like the whores on 7th avenue ( I am a Rock). Christian MCs (who wouldn't harm a fly) with riders that would scare the bajeebers out of granny on a dark street or a lite for that matter.

Love In Action

Founded by Clara Barton in 1881 the American Red Cross has served in every major war and disaster providing much needed care to allied troops home and abroad. The Red Cross continues to serve wherever and whenever there is a call for emergency care in times of disaster. They are as much a part of the Myrtle Beach is as a hand to a gesture. Caring for needy after Hugo, supplying blood, food, water, clothing, medical supples and housing.

Myrtle Beach: Absolute Best Motorcycle Rally Ever

With over 60 miles of open beach, surf and sunshine, you would be hard pressed not to find something for everyone. There are babes on bikes, sun bathers on the beaches, disco queens in the clubs, eight Entertainment Theaters with a total seating capacity of 11,400 seats, water parks, amusement parks (Look forward to Hard Rock Park in spring 08), Fishing Charters and my favorite of course is, Jamin' Leather, now in the all new Jamin' Town

Myrtle Beach, is the great equalizer, whether your a doctor, lawyer or candle stick maker, Myrtle Beach caters to all walks of life and since the area is very affordable every one has equal access to everything.

If Camp Ramada is your style, there are well over 450 hotels with in excess of 45,000 rooms available or if you are like me and prefer the open sky there is Myrtle Beach State Park with plenty of camping as well as numerous private campgrounds in the area.

Because Myrtle Beach has such great weather there are business that are only available during bike week, as well as host of vendors that cater to every aspect of motorcycles and motorcycle riding not to mention that there many local business that specialize in motorcycle paraphernalia.

Daytona Beach, FL may have its racetrack and a few open spaces to ride but with more than 1800 full service restaurants you'll never have travel far to find a great dining experience. If you still feed the need for speed there is NasCar Park

My number one favorite reason though is Jamin' Town, strategically and conveniently located in Surfside Beach between Harley Davidson Dealer and Suck Bang and Blow, located on the corner of 8th Ave. South in Surfside Beach. Yuppers, this is a shameless plug, after all.

Make the pilgrimage to Myrtle Beach and find out why we feel its the best rally ever.
