Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Expected to Attract More Than 250,000 Bikers as South Dakota Sees Uptick in Coronavirus Cases
Sturgis is on. The message has been broadcast across social media as South Dakota, which has seen an uptick in coronavirus infections in recent weeks, braces to host hundreds of thousands of bikers for the 80th edition of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
More than 250,000 people are expected to rumble through western South Dakota, seeking the freedom of cruising the boundless landscapes in a state that has skipped lockdowns. The Aug. 7 to 16 event, which could be the biggest anywhere so far during the pandemic, will offer businesses that depend on the rally a chance to make up for losses caused by the coronavirus. But for many in Sturgis, a city of about 7,000, the brimming bars and bacchanalia will not be welcome during a pandemic.
Though only about half the usual number of people are expected at this year’s event, residents were split as the city weighed its options. Many worried that the rally would cause an unmanageable outbreak of COVID-19.
“This is a huge, foolish mistake to make to host the rally this year,” Sturgis resident Linda Chaplin told city counselors at a June meeting. “The government of Sturgis needs to care most for its citizens.”

Hi Greg.
No I will not be going. I don’t have my wife to ride with me anymore, I used to follow her and try and keep up. I don’t have any riding friends here in Florida, they are all in Connecticut. I didn’t even go to Daytona last year. And my kids don’t live here yet, so I have no one to watch my dogs and bird.

well...I'm sure this is a covid disaster in the making....assuming its just a gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts..
however, if there is any way they can weave protesting against trump in there, we know from media reports that protesting is OK, with no risk of spreading covid...rioting and looting also help keep the disease away...

I'm sure if you dangle that picture of babe on bike in front of him, Greg would be more than happy to ride with you to Sturgis.
Or, you could fabricate a combination birdcage/kennel to tow behind your Harley.

You better hurry and install those training wheels on your hog, then.
