Thunder Beach Rally

May 7, 2024 8:55pm CST
Last Wednesday started our Spring Thunder Beach Rally. It brings in a lot of revenue for the Beach and Town...but it also brings in Wrecks. There were 8 Motorcycle wrecks involving Serious injuries and 3 of those resulted in deaths. The polic had over 500 calls, and over 25 accidents involving Motorcycles. We have a FB page called Bay County Bad Drivers. There was a video of a Traffic Jam on Back Beach Road...No One is going over 10mph. One Biker riding in front of a car real slow..kept the car back, and his buddies came down the middle of the road in between lanes and went in front of the slow riding dude. I would have probably been in jail if that car was me...LOL When I drove a taxi this happened a lot, but not in front of me..LOL Motorcycles aren't all the roadway problems..there are plenty of 4 wheeler accidents, and some of those are NOT the Motorcycle's fault. We live in a Tourist area, and most of them don't know where they are going, how to get back to where they are staying, not to mention the distractions. I stay away from that side of the Bridge. I stay my behind on the Town side. LOL That is bad enough. LOL I wait until fall to go to the beach. LOL

In the fall the water at the beach is to cold to go into it.

I'm sorry to hear about the deaths. Living in a touristy area can be a real challenge. Have a good day.
