Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine signed on as the first official moonshine sponsor in the 73-year history of the rally. READ ON

The results are in, and the Harley-Davidson 26th annual Ride for Life event held on May 4-5 raised more than $1 million to fuel the fight against muscle disease in support of local families served by the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

“Harley-Davison and its dealers, riders, fans and H.O.G. chapters are some of the most passionate when it comes to helping provide independence to kids and adults with muscle disease,” said Brian Bentley, dealer principal of Brian’s Harley-Davidson and head of the Ride for Life steering committee. “Ride for Life is a tradition that continues to exceed our expectations year after year. One of the best feelings is seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids who we are helping, and I think this has been one of the most memorable years we’ve had in the past two decades.” READ ON

A number of high profile businesses in the greater Myrtle Beach Area are making investments to increase the popularity and attendance of the long-time motorcycle rallies held annually in May and October. Investments include capital improvements, vendor permits, entertainment, and marketing. The Myrtle Beach rallies, initiated in 1940, are some of the oldest rallies in the nation and at one time an estimated 300,000 would visit the Grand Strand over the 10 days of the spring rally. The attendance fell off with the 2008 recession and the passage of several ordinances. In recent years, several of those ordinances have been resolved and businesses that capitalize on the visiting biker crowd have put out the “welcome mat” to the biker crowd. This year, a number of these businesses are making a more ambitious and pro-active effort to deliver and communicate reasons for larger biker crowds to return. With more venues and rally point options spread throughout the area, it should result in a more enjoyable experience for bikers, relief in Bike Week congestion, and lesser impact on the area’s 314,000 year-round residents, which is appreciated by many members of the local government authorities.
