I won't be able to make it this year because I will be at Bike Week at Myrtle Beach, SC but I spent most of the summer at PCB..
If anyone goes to Thunder Beach, I recommend one biker event that may not be advertised much..
Head West on the Front Beach Road until you pass the last high rise condo on the beach. Go one block further and on the right, there is a biker apparel store called The Redneck Biker.
Every Thursday evening (around 7pm) they have a live band, free chicken wings, and a dollar donation for a beer..
Even off season, they attract a lot of the locals on bikes. People are friendly, the wings are great, the view of the ocean tranquil, and there are a nice mix of different kinds of motorcycles there..
I already miss Panama City Beach and I will likely make the spring rally..
