Hog heaven is coming to Heritage Park in Simpsonville June 4-5.




Simpsonville Police Chief Charles Reece said the city would deploy extra patrols at Heritage Park and in the city during a motorcycle rally next month.
Reece, a biker himself, didn’t expect extra traffic hassles but warned drivers to pay attention.

“The most dangerous thing for bikers is that people just don’t pay attention,” Reece said. “Slow down, take one more minute and look twice.”


Quote from the article:
The Southern Throttle Motorcycle Rally is being organized by Greenville event-management company Epic Events, which has promoted the event across the Southeast.

It’s the first of what event organizer Beth Brown hopes will become an annual Upstate rally.

“I ride a Harley, and I have a passion for motorcycles and was kind of disappointed with what’s going on in Myrtle Beach with them running the bikers out of Myrtle Beach, and I pretty much just wanted to keep the riders in our state,” Brown said.
