For those of you who have never been to the Myrtle Beach area, I would have to say it is a dangerous area for motorcycling. As one person has already said, there is a wide mix of vacationers, teenagers, retired folks, and just stupid drivers all trying to get to locations to eat, play or whatever. Most of them are not sure where that location is, so they drive with their head looking off at the side of the road. I have been there over the years at Harley rallies and just vacationing myself on my motorcycle and three times I have met vehicles traveling north in the southbound lane on US 17. (or southbound in the northbound lane) Mix in the alcohol or what ever else they may have "on board" and it is not a motorcycle friendly enviroment. Its conveinent to get around there on a motorcycle, most of the time, but overall I'd say stay away from that area. Many Hotels/Motels there do not welcome motorycles, and campgrounds DO NOT allow motorcycles inside the campground unless you push them in. If ya like standing in line to do about anything, it's the place to go !!! Also at night, on the main drag along the beach, (Ocean Blvd.), traffic backs up for blocks and blocks due to the teenagers (young and old) crusing, making it damn near impossible to get to your hotel. steve nw NC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Order the Acerbis aftermarket fender for all KTM's (99-03). Looks great. You have to oval out the mounting holes a bit to make it fit but nobody sees that part. That way it will look exactly like a KTM fender. UFO makes one as well but the Acerbis has more of a pointy aggressive look to it. dat brooklyn bum (it was about $25 from Dennis Kirk)
