Once upon a time I visited when mum was living in Sea Pines Plantation...they do not allow motorcycles. I was on a cross country tour, and was towing a trailer with 3 bikes on it. I had to get through gestapo-style questioning to get past the gate, along with a promise that the motorcycles would remain on the trailer, and the trailer would be hidden from view in a garage.
That pissed me off so much, I had visions of buzzing by the guard station on my Ducati at redline.

I live on HHI, in Port Royal Plantation. Some of the rules are absurd and a lot of it is just a hassle, but we do allow residents and their guests to ride motorcycles. They gave me crap about my Rover for a while. It was always in the driveway, because with the hard top, it just doesn't fit in the garage. I finally had a showdown with one of the HOA reps and told him that the only way that Rover was leaving would be if someone wanted to pay me $25k for it.
On the bright side of things, they blocked some numnuts from putting up a chain link fence in their back yard recently. It's important to note that their yard is visible from 2 roads and the green of one hole and tee of another.
