#4 And they isolated themselves - so is not to affect others? Did the idea - that they owe consideration to others, even occur to them?

#9 No deaths...yet

That's significant if true.
Generally there are fatal bike accidents, shootings, crushing of attendees passed out under vehicles, ODs, etc.
Pretty subdued.

#10 Yet?

How many more weeks do you need?

One of those old school bikers, been smoking cigarettes for the last 50 years, gets the covid in October, you gonna call that on the Sturgis event?

And 500,000?

I like the line, 'While bikers ride in open air..'

Like riding in the open air is better protection against the covid than, say in your car with the various air filters working on air...from the open air?

#11 Three cheers to 500,000 people who want to live life and enjoy life, not just sitting around thinking about a life not worth living.
