Myrtle Beach, S.C., is known for its family resorts, picturesque golf courses and big and noisy motorcycle rallies. That last distinction is one city leaders would just as soon do without.
The city is trying to scale back rallies that bring hundreds of thousands of bikers to town. One way they’re doing it is by enforcing a city helmet law in a state where bikers have the right to go bareheaded.
South Carolina is one of a handful of states on the East Coast where it’s legal for adults to ride without a helmet. Tired of the noise and constant partyers, Myrtle Beach passed a mandatory-helmet law for all bikers.
Retired truck driver Jack Gunter likes to vacation in the city with his Harley-Davidson.
“I live in a state that requires you to wear a helmet. I come here so I don’t have to wear one,” Gunter says. “I think it ought to be a rider’s choice.”

Myrtle Beach officials expect turnout to also decline for this weekend’s annual fall biker rally. That has some residents happy, and some business owners bracing for lower revenues.
