Don’t leave him ten cents…”

    A. Congrats to John and Jill P. They’ve done a remarkable job with the museum. B. Donald Trump is a douche. I doubt Paul Sr. Will die with ten cents to his name anyway. Way to stick you nose in someone else’s family Donald.

    Donald and Paul Sr. should build a bike and call it the TT Special. The theme could be the Blame Game. When the bike is done Donald will declare Chapter 11 and stiff Sr.. Should make a great show. ..Z

    Myrtle Beach Bike Rally, in all it’s forms, has been named the new official definition of “clusterfu*k” in the dictionary. What a joke!

    Screw the Donald and Senior! Both are arrogant buttholes. If Paul senior is such a great guy why are all his sons seperated from him. Oh and by the way Paul Sr. you mourned more for your dog than your Mother…..

    John & jill are just a class act to even bring or discuss his name up with these two blowers is a waste of time.

    Myrtle Beach has lost my business forever! If I’m not welcome on my motorcycle, I’m not welcome with my family either. There is nothing MB can do at this point to get me back into their town. I wasn’t welcome the last time I was there so I won’t be back, ever. I hope the entire motorcycle community turns its back on them. What they really wanted from us was to stay home but send our money anyway! Find another event that generates the kind of revenue the bike events did.
