I've driven through Sturgis
I've driven through Sturgis but never attended Bike Week. Beautiful part of the country, rolling hills and wide open space.
My friend Ray of "Ray's Sharpening" went one year with his Hog and said "Quite a bunch of Crazy Bikers. They got Guns, they got Knives, they got Gunnives."
RIP Ray.

Never been to Bike Week in
Never been to Bike Week in Sturgis but I was in Daytona for a few days in 1991. I ride myself, do like motorcycles, and appreciate (certain) Harleys just as much as as anyone but it can get old hat having them race around 24/7 at such events....heads full of steam, firewater, and whatever else feeds that frenzy. There is a more so low-key event (Poker Run out of Miami?) that winds up in Key West in mid-Sept that I have enjoyed quite a bit over several different years.

Dylan played there in 2010 for their 70th Anniversary.
He still loves riding, clearly likes Harleys. (Please don't crash again Bob).
Short show.
Crazy that there will be a quarter million people there for this at this time.

I was in Sturgis for the
I was in Sturgis for the first weekend of the 1997 rally, but my being there during the rally was a total coincidence.
That summer, I was working at a program outside of Chicago that housed DCFS kids who because of behavioral issues couldn't stay in foster homes any longer, but weren't quite ready for the juvenile justice system yet. Myself and another staff member took a group of six of the best behaved kids on a cross-country camping trip up to Glacier National Park, and we stopped by the Black Hills for a few days of camping at Custer State Park just outside of Sturgis on our way out west.
We didn't know when we were making our plans that Sturgis would be going on, but as we were driving across Iowa and then South Dakota, it became clear from all the bikes on the road that we had stumbled onto something uniquely American. The kids I was traveling with were quite amused by all the bikes flashing chrome not to mention the raucous counter-culture we found ourselves in the midst of.

in '88, i worked in Rockford and the best acid source I ever had was a Vietnam vet truck driver/ biker coworker who had been going to Sturgis since '80. If half of what he said actually went on, it's pretty wild, but not mask-wearing wild.

Mr. JazFish --
Thank you for the Sturgis live StreetCorner cam. One of the best posts I've seen here all week.
It's a hoot to watch the people ride around the block and go back and forth.
Must be a $$$ mill for the local cops -- two beers and they haul you in, impound your Bike, kidnap your helmet, etc. etc.
Appears to be the bail-bondsman office on the corner in that street cam.

Went on a trip with my dad to SD right around the time of Sturgis. Deadwood was overrun with bikers and they were all over the area / region such as Custer SP. The noise was annoying as crap.

They actually studied BLM protests too and found no increase in cases. Mask wearing works, and in case you think they are left biased they also studied Trumps Tulsa rally and found no increase from that either. I guess sharing bullets for bumps helps the virus along. Who knew?

Well OK, the Head Professors
Well OK, the Head Professors on-site have re-educated me now. Nancy and jr. post photos of your new "Crib" in the Black neighborhood to show the anti-racist new beginning.
I joke -- realizing you 'people' reside in gated communities upon all-white lily pads.
Meanwhile, back here on the East Coast, we are ethnically and racially Diverse, as usual. About half of my Firewood income comes from White Honkies and half from POTW folks. (People other than white) and if their cash doesn't bounce, their Firewood will burn fine.
The virtue-signal idiotsticks have too much time on their (weak, shovel-proof) hands and are incapable of any useful labor.

keep spewing your racist garbage, but you've already made it perfectly clear that you're a worthless white Supremacists POS. Stick to your Breitbart and QANon sites where your intellect is more accepted. Or not, we libtards will go back to ignoring your moronic rants

Thanks but no thanks. You
Thanks but no thanks. You seem to know what those things are, I don't have any idea. I actually live with and work with People of All Colors (POAC) and you hide from non-whites in your gated community.
You are still the craziest hypocrite I've ever seen here.
Congratulations on that.

FWIW, Incel - I don't live in
FWIW, Incel - I don't live in a gated community and I am in the minority. One other Jewish family out of 60 families and about 20 percent white.
None of which makes Stu any less of a racist ignorant POS.

Stu, I think it's just fine
Stu, I think it's just fine that you don't have any political opinions. It is strange, however, that you are so opinionated about others having opinions.
Its also a bit much that you think you're on a higher plane of existence for it. "I don't have time for politics, I have calluses on my hands and have a dog."
They aren't mutually exclusive. One can have a full and busy life and still care about more than their little parcel of land. And for fuck's sake, knowing how to wield a chainsaw doesn't make you special, or even more of a man.

Yet even as some states and cities around the U.S. reverse course in reopening amid a fearsome spike in COVID-19 cases linked to the so-called Delta variant, local business owners around Sturgis are revved up for an annual tradition that has become a mammoth tourism event."
