| PJD | Hey Tom, maybe you'll see this before you leave, maybe not. This is just in the way of information and will not affect our meet. I only got it this morning so I couldn't post it sooner. You may want to keep an eye peeled, the winds are changing at the beach...PJ
Worth a read

Boycott Myrtle Beach?
NCOM and CBA/ABATE of NC are willing to back ABATE of SC all the way in a boycott of Myrtle Beach. The MRF is also willing to help. Does the membership of ABATE of SC support a boycott of this event? We need to answer this question ASAP! It is important to strike the iron while its hot. Reply to this email with your opinion and let your chapter coord know.
By now you all know the cop who killed two bikers in during Myrtle Beach's May Bike Rally will walk scott free! For background info visit http://www.abatesc.com/soapbox/cop-kills-two-motorcyclists-with-car.htm
"What can we do?" you say?
Well, the cards are stacked against us. Judges tend to stick with the cops... Legislators used to be judges ... and Governors used to be legislators. Changing a law or rule would take forever to pass. Let's go for the wallet, the money, something any politician understands!
Avoid Myrtle Beach in 2002 and 2003. There is plenty to do instead, and plenty to see. Maybe if enough of you spend your money elsewhere, the local venders and businesses will put pressure on the city to control the actions of their officers, and to promote motorcycle awareness.
Of course you don't have to pay any attention to this, or our suggestions.
You can forget about the dead brother and sister while you ride through town, showing your nice clean chrome. They used to polish their bikes before they were killed. Enjoy looking at all the bikes, they sure did, before they were killed. Visit the vendors and buy some stuff, that's what they did before they were killed. Trust the local police to watch out for your safety, that's what they did before they were killed. On the other hand, you can show your displeasure for the way the Myrtle Beach police kill bikers and STAY AWAY! Spend your money elsewhere, like at the drags or north to Ocean City Bike Week.
If you prefer to email your thoughts on the senseless death of two bikers by a policeman, send an email to myrtle@solriders.net and it will make its way to the right people, and the press.
