One of the largest events since the beginning of the pandemic has begun in South Dakota: More than 250,000 people are expected at the iconic Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Many who rode their bikes into Sturgis on Friday expressed defiance at the rules and restrictions that have marked life in much of the world during the pandemic.Local officials have made efforts to scale down the event, but some expect restriction-weary bikers to flock to Sturgis in large numbers. Most attendees in recent years are professionals with too much to lose if they get arrested. The top three professions at Sturgis are doctors, lawyers and accountants, city officials have said in previous years., according to the state Department of Revenue.While outdoor events are widely believed to be lower risk than indoor ones, the unprecedented size of the gathering is prompting serious concerns.."South Dakota is already experiencing increases in transmission.
Several steps have been taken to reduce risk, local media reports: The Community Center will not be hosting vendors inside as in the past, according to For his part, Woodruff said he felt he had little choice but to proceed with the rally. He employs hundreds of people in August and a smaller full-time staff.

This is lunacy.
Bunch of liberals. Say it to the face of one of us.
See patriotism takes more than just flying a big flag on your ride. It takes sacrifice. If u r not willing to even sacrifice your beer and debauchery for a week for the sake of saving your fellow Americans' lives, does it matter how many flags u fly?
Can’t wait for Antifa to show up
Did you not see the blm banner that makes all this above-board?
