The American way is the only way when it comes to motorcycles in July, and John Marshall’s custom home made shovelhead is as American as they come.

This bike screams American biker, and reflects the attitude of its owner.

“I call it Kiss My American Ass,” Marshall said. “I got that from a Special Forces tattoo, and it really fits my attitude.”

John feels so strongly that he even found a decal with the saying and put it on the bike. It’s the only color other than chrome & black on this beauty.

In a unanimous decision announced in June, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that a Myrtle Beach law requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets is invalid. The ruling also negated several other ordinances the Myrtle Beach City Council had enacted in 2008 to rid the city of biker events.

The court ruled that the city could not supersede state law, which does not require helmets for any motorcycle riders over 21. The court said that if cities were allowed to enact such laws, it would be too confusing for motorcyclists traveling across the state.
