What do you do if you are mad as hell and you won't take it anymore?   If it's regarding the brand new Myrtle Beach helmet law, you hire a Top Legal Eagle, who just happens to be the brother of the state representative and make a beeline to the State Supreme court. 

That's exactly what the Business Owners Organized to Save Tourism (BOOST) did, when they hired Bart Viers, the brother of State Rep. Thad Viers (R-Myrtle Beach), earlier this year, and guess what:  on Friday, the court granted the petition to hear the case.

This will save many thousands in legal bills and years of aggravation and if all goes well, the SC Supreme Court might rule in the group's favor and hold that Myrtle Beach is going beyond its legal capabilities by requiring helmets, while the state allows riders 21 and older have the option. 

This maneuver is nothing short of extraordinary.  A standing ovation is granted by the area's Business Owners.  If all goes well, next year's bike rallies will be back to Myrtle Beach in full force and what a celebration that will be!

Now, this is what I call news: probably the most heated battle of the year...  even with all the fires...

So you are for or against this bill.  No helmets for people over 21?

While I agree that the put puting up and down the beach and helmets do not go well together, I think that you would have to be crazy to not wear a Lid in general.  And from a biz standpoint, the fact that they can go a few miles up the beach and bring their $ to another town, doesnt make much sense!

As a rider, I think it should be mandatory that every single person, regardless of age, wear a helmet.  Helmets save lives.  It's bad enough people ride their bikes in their shorts and t-shirts, but to ride without a helmet?  It's suicide. 

rather than waste all that money going to court about this, maybe they should spend it on education about helmet use/riding safely, to live to ride another day.
