Bikers lift the boycott of Myrtle Beach
and Horry County after achieving political objectives. The boycott was
implemented by ABATE of SC in the wake of the horrible accident that claimed
the lives of two motorcyclists when a public official failed to yield right
of way and was not charged.
ABATE of SC has voted to lift the boycott of Myrtle Beach following changes
in the Horry County Council and the City Council of Myrtle Beach voting 6-1
to spend $10,000 to tell the motorcycle community that Myrtle Beach
is "Biker Friendly." Right of Way Bills S418 and H3653 have also been
introduced in the South Carolina Statehouse to increase the penalties for
those who injure, maim, or kill while violating current right of way laws.
Motorcyclists and other concerned citizens are currently working hard to
gain passage of these right of way bills.
ABATE of South Carolina would like to thank all national and state
motorcyclists rights organizations that supported the boycott. ABATE of SC
now requests that those who supported our efforts now lift the boycott and
work with us to gain passage of right of way bills both in South Carolina
and beyond.
ABATE of South Carolina is a State Motorcyclists Rights Organization
dedicated to defending the rights of all motorcyclists who choose to ride in
South Carolina. ABATE of South Carolina also encourages all motorcyclists to
register to vote and become active in the political process. ABATE
encourages motorcyclists to voluntarily obtain motorcycle rider training.
Many individual members of ABATE are actively involved in local charities.
