-Short Attention Span Theater-
Thousands of bikers descend on South Dakota town for 10-day Sturgis Motorcycle Rally which is expected to draw 250,000 people - sparking coronavirus concerns among residents
2020-08-08
  • Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will run from Friday, August 7, through Sunday, August 16, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic

  • Officials say they were powerless to stop the annual event, as many bikers indicated they would descend on the city regardless

  • Usually 500,000 people attend the event each year, but organizers are anticipating around half that number over the next 10 days

  • On Friday, attendees were seen gathering close together without face masks as the first day of the rally kicked off

  • Revelers have arrived from all over the country; one store is selling 'Screw Covid' shirts

#7   At least until Rodman shows up.

I heard he went back to his home world.

Of course, this is 2020 so you know the probability of Rodman, Trump and Pudge all showing up at Sturgis on Harleys is non-zero. Party on, dudes!

#6  Hey, you knew you were living in Sturgis, right?
Should be sort of 'normal'. At least until Rodman shows up.

#5  Probably won't get a side-by-side comparison in the same locale between the BLM and Biker folks, though.

#4  Interesting live voluntary experiment. Bikers vs BLM demonstrations. Let's count the numbers.

#2  Seems a lot of things spark 'coronavirus concerns' this year; it's now another media stock phrase.
