Little did we know we were gonna be seeing a lot more bikes and bikers over the next couple of days as myrtle beach were hosting Bikers Week and we were arriving for finale weekend!! Bikers week basically involves thousands of bikers and their partners riding down to town for a week of p...

Yet again on a travelling day the weather was scorching hot (gutted!) but thank god for ai...

We managed to fill our bellies just walking through munc...
