Hi all,
  The state supreme court heard the helmet law case today, but is not expected to make a decision for up to 6 weeks. The judge did make a statement saying that she felt the reason for myrtle beaches helmet law was to get rid of bikers and she did not like that fact. When I receive more info, I will pass it on to you.
