Black Bike Week needs to be cancelled. First of all, most of the tourists that come here for the event do not even own motorcycles, they just come here to cause trouble. They even refer to this as the "black takeover," and they just terrorize the city to prove a point. The city of Myrtle Beach earns hardly, if any, revenue from this event, and any that they do earn is outweighed by how much they lose (having to clean up the streets, deal with dine and ditches, general theft, etc.). Why do you think many businesses close up during this week? They would rather earn no money than lose a ton of it. Also, ocean boulevard is like a third world country during this week. It is packed with armed security guards, why should we promote an event that requires this? It's ridiculous, let's just please end this already. Every signature counts.
