New laws face fall bikers

The City of Myrtle Beach will use this week's fall motorcycle rally as a "dry run" for one of the new anti-motorcycle-rally laws it put in place Tuesday and as a chance to educate riders about the city's expectations.

Amendments to the city's noise ordinance, including details of vehicle noise levels and motorcycle muffler requirements, took effect Tuesday afternoon as soon as the City Council gave them final approval.

Myrtle Beach councils have wrestled with the rallies for years, as the Harley-Davidson-focused spring ride grew from a four-day event to a 10-day one, and crowds drawn to the Atlantic Beach Bikefest over Memorial Day weekend spilled over into Myrtle Beach and turned Ocean Boulevard into a street party for three nights a year.
