East Coast Helmet Law Protest!   May 18, 2008
On your way back from Myrtle Beach Bike Week, stop in at South of the Border, in Dillon SC, which is the northernmost exit off I-95 of South Carolina, to protest helmet laws and participate in a freedom ride. Last year, there were only a couple dozen freedom fighters from SC, NC, and VA who joined us, but we had such a good time that we've been looking forward to the next one all year!

Here's the ritual, so you will know it every year:

The East Coast Freedom Ride is always the Sunday of the last weekend of Myrtle Beach Bike Week.
We always put our kickstands up at 11am.

If you want to wear a helmet and ride in support of those who choose, you are VERY WELCOME to join us. We do not protest the device. We protest the law which is unconstitutional and does not allow our right to choose.

In 2007, groups represented included ABATE of SC, ABATE of VA, and BOLT of the Carolinas.

MAGGIE VALLEY FREEDOM RIDE
Celebrate NC BIKERS FREEDOM RIDE DAY with a freedom ride from the Wheels Through Time Museum. Please eat before arriving because we’re not stopping for brunch. Gather at 10am. Kickstands up at 10:30am. Destination will either be the courthouse in Bryson City which is already so familiar with bikers that they put up a sign that says “BIKERS ALWAYS WELCOME” or the Bumcombe County Courthouse in Asheville.
BOLTSTERS and others who rode out from the Eastern part of North Carolina in order to meet Pan and Vicki will probably stay around to have a nice ride on Friday, either to GRMCC or Tail of the Dragon or the Natural Bridge.

WNC Freedom Ride
Western North Carolina Freedom Ride from Bumcombe County Courthouse in Asheville to the Hendersonville County Courthouse. This is to call attention to the helmet law, and to continue our freedom call, “Let those who ride decide.”
"The government cannot make any objective standards without taking on liability, and since they are expressly forbidden from taking on liability, they can never make an objective standard for helmets. Without an objective standard, it all becomes ad hoc and arbitrary. Ad hoc and arbitrary is the foundation of vague law. Vague law is unconstitutional. Bye."    Richard Quigley
