Myrtle Beach Bike Week - part 2
Well, here it is, Wednesday afternoon, and this has been a great week so far. Monday, we went to the Harley Davidson dealer here in Myrtle Beach. It took us about 30 minutes to get into the parking lot and find a place to park. We really didn't go into the dealership, but we walked around the vendors areas and did some shopping. We then went to Suck Bang Blow , a bar named after the way an engine on a motorcycle runs (or so they say) It was a wild place, to say the least. There is a part of the bar that you can actually drive your motorcycle through, and partially through that area there is a room that you can pull your motorcycle into so that you can do a burn-out. Needless to say, we didn't do that. We did see a few bikes do it, and the smoke was really thick. Not to mention the miles burned off the tires of the bikes. They had a booth that did temporary tattoos. Karrie got one, along with a sunburn.
There were also girls dancing in a cage inside the bar, near where the burn-outs and bike drive through area was. I was startled and accidentally pushed the shutter release on the camera to capture this moment.
The outdoor bar had a really cool bartender, and we both agreed she was pure muscle.
We had lunch at Hooters, and treated the motorcycle to a bikini bike wash. They didn't do a very thorough job, but we did have some nice food there. We met some great people that live in Myrtle Beach, Randy and Dee.
They took us out the The Rat Hole , another infamous biker spot. They had several contests that I cannot describe here on a family oriented site. It was a fun time though. We were looking at one of the vendors areas that install LED lights on bikes. They had a bike on a lift and were working on it when all of a sudden all of the wiring that was exposed caught fire and smoked like mad. Everyone left that booth. Then, back to the hotel and some sleep.
Yesterday, we visited some more vendor locations, and then came back and did a thorough cleaning on the bike. A far, far, better job than the bikini clad ladies did.
While we were at one of the vendors, Karrie was checking out Ripley Motorcycles. They make a motorcycle with an automatic transmission.
Who knows, she may have her own bike someday. I would miss the back rubs that I get when she is behind me WAY too much, though.
We met back up with Randy and Dee, who took us out Soft Tails . We had a blast! We sat outside at a table where we could look at our bike and enjoy her shiny-ness. People still have a hard time believing it is a 1989, but it is.
We saw some really nice bikes while we were there, and some VERY intoxicated people. I have no idea how you could operate a motorcycle being as drunk as some of the people we saw. Scary stuff. We timed our exit accordingly. Then it was back to the hotel, where Karrie fell asleep about 22 seconds after laying down.
We got up this morning and went to Magoo's Pub with Randy and Dee. They had free hot dogs, free BBQ and 15 cent Hot Wings. Now that is what I call breakfast.
We left there, and Randy and Dee were kind enough to show us a scenic spot to get a picture of the bike. We took some pictures and enjoyed the ocean for a while.
Then, back to the hotel, where Karrie tried (unsuccessfully) to take a nap, while I typed this blog entry. Now, we are trying to decide where to go this evening. Karrie was looking at a place called The Dog House South , which looks promising. We shall see.
Stay tuned !
