Anybody here ever go to (May/Spring) Bike Week in Myrtle B..

We like Myrtle Beach as a family vacation destination and, in fact,
just spent a week there last month.

Now that my son and I have bikes, he's wanting to ride to bike week
next May (about 6 or 7 hrs for us). He'll be over 18 by next May.

We still have to take the MSF (even though my insurance company - State
Farm - doesn't honor it) and get to know our bikes to get a feel for
whether or not they are roadworthy for the trip. Worst case, I guess we
could trailer them down.

Just for the dad-son time, Bike Week would be worth it to me, but I
could go up in the Shenendoahs with him instead.

I know Mrtyle is a tourist trap (that my family willing submits to
every 3 years:) and I know there'll be beaucoup MC vendors there and
lots of cool bikes. So as far as Bike week itself goes, is it worth the
trip? Over a ride in the Shenandoah mountains?

Thanks,
Greg

My son.

Plus, I hear Bike Week is really Trailer Week as few folks really ride
their bikes to SC, but just trailer them in, whihc actually sounds good
to me - more comfortable, no breakdowns -
