Horry County ABATE has decided to stage a boycott, not of the spring bike rally, but of the Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson store and its owner Phil Schoonover unless he retreats from his plan to hold the Harley-Davidson Spring Cruisin the Coast rally from May 18-28.
Grand Strand leaders and some residents are concerned about how things will go when the Harley motorcycle rally overlaps with Atlantic Beach Bike Fest in late May, but many of the sport-bikers planning to come to the area say theres no reason to worry.
Long Bay Estates resident Robert DeCiero is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle owner himself, but hes upset with the local dealerships decision to start its part of the Myrtle Beach spring bike rally later than usual and carry it into the Memorial Day weekend.
