Saturday morning found us up relatively early and heading south on Rt 17 through Myrtle Beach. Our destination was "The Golden Egg", a popular local breakfast restaurant that Mark has been visiting for years. The food was as good as promised.







We headed for the Harley Davidson dealership in Myrtle Beach to check out the vendors and to just look at stuff in general.


After leaving the Harley shop, we headed for the "Suck, Bang, & Blow", a popular local bar that attracts many vendors, live entertainment (usually at night), and sports a deck built over the entire building. People go up there to drink and oversee the whole operation.


After leaving the SB&B, we headed back to the resort to meet Rick, Mark, and Tanya who were motoring in from Lexington, VA. After getting them settled in their room, we headed for the Harley shop in North Myrtle Beach and checked out the promotional deals that they were offering on new motorcycles. They make it hard to say "no" and Mark was trying to keep me from saying it! Maybe if I win the lottery.

Realizing that none of us were going to purchase a new motorcycle, we went to Barefoot Landing, a large retail area that has many various motorcycle related vendors on site. A lot of this stuff is just the same stuff in a different location, but occasionally you run into something unique. Luckily, Deb found some great handlebars that are perfect for her and her comfort on her bike. Her handlebars are a bit too high and produce some discomfort in her shoulders. These new bars will solve the problem. She is going to take her bike in tomorrow and have them installed. The job is estimated to take around 2 to 3 hours.....not bad for what is involved.


For dinner we went to a buffet restaurant and had our fill of seafood and just about everything else that they had there.

On the way home from dinner we stopped at the local WalMart and we bought almost more alcohol than we could carry in our bikes. We now have 8 motorcycles in our group. The referigerator is fully stocked.



We will probably hit the hot tub and relax for the rest of the evening. We have great views from the balcony to enjoy while relaxing.
