“I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to be cooped up all my life either,” the 66-year-old said.
The couple, who were each wearing a face mask, said they will avoid bars, and that they see it as inevitable that infections would spread in bars and at concert venues. That prospect of coronavirus infections possibly rising from the rally has worried some residents of this city of 7,000 in the western part of the state.
Those are his or her only alternatives? Cooped up or attend a massive super spreader event?
Wait and see none of the bikers will get sick!
There are an average of 400 arrests and equal number of emergency room visits associated with the sturgis rally every year. Anyone attending this in the middle of a pandemic while also claiming to “back the blue” and first responders, is full of shit.
The Sturgis Surge, coming to a community near you.
Preowned Harleys flood the market weeks after Sturgis.
Good
This is life you know real life you don’t get what you want how old are you GrowUp your causing innocent people to suffer like elderly people and children just remember Karma can be a horrible thing
The need for me to pretend to be tough, show off my tattoos, say how many years I’ve been coming, the latest chrome I added and exercise my “rights” outweighs my sense of duty and respect to my family friends and fellow man
What a moron, selfish idiot to say the least. Listen Buddy, it’s really simple, if you don’t practice the basics outlined by the medical people and social distance you are at a major risk. If you want to go and play with your 250,000 mates go for your life, you’re very silly.
“I don’t want to be cooped up ALL MY LIFE”...6 months of your 66 years is not “All “ your life. I don’t understand the self centered thinking of people.
It’s been six months. Boomers are so gd dramatic.
You really ran that headline into the ground with as many times you recirculate it
This virus has shown people’s true colors. Whenever someone defends putting himself in harm’s way by making it all about his own health, he simultaneously shows he doesn’t care about the people he might infect. It’s not about you getting sick. It’s about the spread. Wake up!
yasminv Sturgis residents get a free test. Yet 250, 000 people will now be spreading across the country. No contact tracing. They’ll be in Walmart, the grocery store, maybe dropping kids off to school. Great job govkristinoem 🤦🏻♀️😡
You are a big reason why the country is in trouble, When more people start dying because of your actions then what are you going to say?
Just stay there.... don’t come back to AZ....
In their view, death is terrible, but losing freedom is even more terrifying🥱🤣
If 500,000 BLM protesters didn’t spread the virus, 250,000 bikers won’t either
At least wear a mask.🙄
You guys are going ahead with a event that will bring together 250.000 people.....are you insane
Gonna be some good deals on used Harleys in the coming months
“All my life” it’s only been 6 months tough guy. Try doing 4 tours over seas in the military you goon. GTSOH
Coffins aren't very spacious.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm old enough to remember when people said we'd die if we voted for that email lady. Well, here we are!
NEW MILEY CYRUS MUSIC FRIDAY
We know. It's pure American selfishness. Care only for thy own ass.
Over 160000 Americans dead in little over 6 months and still trump and his administration in their incompetence still have No national strategy for testing and control of covid 19. It’s Criminal and a failure to lead this country.
Medical workers should be allowed to refuse certain people care if that person puts him or herself in harms way
You won't dye but Trump isn't an expert in corona viris take vitimin c and zinc and a vitimin supplement!
Oh great so he’s going back to Arizona to infect more
Those at Sturgis, Just in, all masks must be DOT approved as shown. You should play my song. 'Ain't No Harley'
'A 66 year old biker' tells you all you need to know about social responsibility and death wishes.
That holds true when 'the rest of my life' means another 1-2 years... Potentially shorter, if you indeed get infected.
We will see what transpires in a few weeks after these bikers keep the Sturges economy healthy.
A few months = all my life 🧐
I guess cooped up in an underground box for an eternity is preferable?
Brace yourselves. Here comes the Two Week Karen's. WarnedYou ToldYouSo
Well friend if you don't want to die .all you have to do is to stay home and save lives including yours. Because we all are in this together. So welcome to the club. No bike including. 😷✌
Dipshit only needs to be 'cooped up' until the vaccine is ready. Not a lot of IQ points at Sturgis. The only thing that these clowns did was put an unnecessary burden on health care workers in a few weeks. They should be denied at the hospital front door
'ALL YOUR LIFE'!? He's already 66 & this is the 1st time he's had to do it & it's only 6-9 months at most! That's why I hate these people. They either exaggerate or just straight up lie, to make their point Every Single Time! They know they have no point, so they make one up!
Is it a coincidence that most going against science & saying the virus isn't real, also happen to go against science & are religious? Religion's dangerous in many ways. Not only in the wars it starts, but those who believe in a magical God living in the clouds, also get to vote!
66 is a long time to live anyway so, whatever time he has left will definitely be extra. You go boy, do you!
So he’s OK with the healthcare system having to take care of him if he catches the virus
Stay there, don’t come back to AZ, it’s bad enough without you
Burning Man has more sense than a biker!
You wouldn’t been coop up if everyone wore mask. This would have been gone by now
'all my life' my God
Incredible.
People should be willing to make a short term sacrifice to help get through the pandemic quicker. It won’t be “all my life.”
Live free or die hard! Is this the reason why the US so far has 150k Covid deaths with a population of 320 million while South Korea so far had 300 Covid deaths with 50 million people? LiveFreeOrDie itiswhatitis
I, I, I...That’s the problem with these fucking idiots.
Make them stay in South Dakota with no medical care, so that they all don’t bring back the virus with them and spread it. It would make a great scientific experiment as well, a petri dish of the ignorant and sullied.
I'm glad I don't know people that ride overly loud obnoxious motorcycles that pretend there tough.
You may be cooped up now. In a little pine box.
This is so dangerous. In two weeks there will be another big spike of these 250000 people cause they definitely won’t be social distancing at sturgis.
It’s not your whole life. In fact if everyone had just stayed the F at home in March and April this would be all over. It is your selfish type that is prolonging it for everyone.
Who’s cooped up? I went for gorgeous walks on our states beautiful hiking trails during COVID19
There's a wide road between cooped up and sharing air with a quarter million potential covid spreaders.
If this was a 'protest ' the media would not be shaming or lecturing.
Can’t fix stupid!
False choice. “Inside, or a 7 day rally with 250,000 people”. 🤔 There is a chasm of ‘in-between’ behaviors that are fun and social. Many people will be dead or get very sick from this event. Irresponsible to hold it. Sue the organizers, the town & Gov. It’s a pandemic ffs.
humans, bruh
It takes acts of government to get most of these people to put on a helmet for their own good, why expect them to give a shit about the rest of us.
Its really pretty basic the feel of the wind in your face (and bugs in your teeth) doesn't happen if you are in a coffin 6 ft under.😷
In this sense 'all my life' is relative, isn't it?
The rest of us don’t want to die because of this selfish asshole and the thousands like him that don’t want to be cooped up. Being cooped up is temporary, death is final. No one wants to be cooped up, but sometimes you got to put on your big girl or boy panties on.
Oh F off. They're irresponsible and selfish. Stop trying to humanize them.
Don’t see the difference in the Sturgis rally & the protestors on the streets day in & day other than the fact they are mostly repub.! So sick of the hypocrites running their mouths! If you are going to bitch about one gathering then bitch abt them All!!! Send protesters home!!
I wouldn't wish this virus on anyone, buuuuut if these selfish, science denying, anti-maskers should happen to get it, then 🤷♀️.
Just be safe: keep six foot distance from others at all times, wear a mask (over mouth and nose), wash hands (properly and frequently). Otherwise,m expect that with those numbers and your age, death is definitely a possible outcome of the rally for you.
it’s just a matter of life and death, people will choose either wisely or foolishly
COVID aside (a BIG aside), here are list of places I’d rather be than Sturgis this week: Jail Hospital Dentist Walmart Bridge Traffic Motor Vehicles Dept Tax Audit Trump Rally (ok, kidding)
Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Your actions effects others.

I would say he believes in “live free and die young”, even though he is old and has lived his life, but by being careless he is is jeopardizing someone else’s life by being selfish.
It maybe a little premature for any of those bikers to buy one of those shirts!!!!!TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
The key word here is 'forever.' What a bike tool!
That t-shirts😂
Cooped up all your life ? He sounds bad at math - HE is 66 and he was cooped up since March ?
OMG-OmniabsoluteGravitational-Constant: Whaaasaaat? 'Everybody want to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die'. (rest, dress & finesse).😃👁️👁️
'Cooped up all my life'! Drama queen!!Whats it been? 4 months I hope he's got very good health insurance, otherwise he will be selling his Harley, his pickup truck, his trailer and the trailer park plot to pay for the treatment.But hey - its all about freedom, right?
DICTATORSHIP is what happened when this PRESIDENT went around CONGRESS! He went around his OWN PARTY! WAKE-UP 🇺🇸! The writing is on the WALL!Do we EVEN have a CHIOCE in anything anymore?If OUR PRESIDENT CAN JUST GO AROUND ARE FAIL SAFE! WAKE-UP 🇺🇸!GOD BLESS 🇺🇸!MAY GOD BE WITH US!
Dude, none of us like being cooped up, but some of us care about our fellow citizens. Since u & everyone else in Sturgis do not, at least have the decency 2 tell ur family & friends that u were there. That way they can avoid being around such a selfless b**tard.
He is welcome to die in any manner he sees fit. Just don’t involve any other innocent ppl who just happen not to want to die. No one is asking the imbecile to stay home but to wear a mask.
Isle of Man showing a great example ... stopped for one year
This maybe the worst thing to happen at Sturgis since Hogan vs Nash at Road Wild '99. That tells you all you need to know about what a bad idea this could be.
I love bikers. In my teens was always the passenger. . HOWEVER PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GATHER. COVID. It will kill you all. Postpone your gathering. Until its safe . . At least you will be ALIVE to enjoy your gatherings. . Not dead by Covid
Imagine if this was a Joel Osteen crusade. The left would be screaming blue murder
It’s a peaceful protest
Good on them, LIVE YOUR LIFE 👍🏼 BECAUSE ITS YOUR LIFE TO LIVE
Bike for sale Never recked Owner died
Well ~ we will all see clearly in about two weeks
Didn’t realize that “all my life” was 5 months long
This would be an excellent event to get the 100,000 signature for the petition for Hydroxychloroquine across the counter sale , go to -petition -hydroxychloroquine , pass the word
“All my life”? Just admit he’s bored and wants to continue to the immediate gratification he deserves as a Boomer.
BLM protesters are still roaming the streets of the US, so kiss off!
Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die, if the virus don't get ya something will.
As long as he’s not “cooped up”. This poor male “Karen” should not be mildly inconvenienced even if he is risking countless other lives.
20 bucks says in three weeks he posts “this shit is real folks, listen to Fauci”.
I understand this mentality completely especially with all the misinformation out there and basically no true good source of reliable information when it comes to the virus. Didn't someone test positive and negative in the same day? We can't just sit around and wait for a cure
“All my life...”. So fkn dramatic ya old fart.
Let them all be safe, but get stats if bad so others can be safe. Every gathering is now a test case. Trump rally cost how many?
I have an endotracheal tube just his size.
The sad irony of the “I survived...” shirt
This isn’t about you. You can get Covid and be perfectly alright. But you can also give it to someone else and kill them. Do you want that on your conscience? Getting tired of saying this.
Translated: he doesn't care about others and is uneducated about the virus. I don't care if he chooses to not wear a helmet. I do care if he's a reckless driver...he probably doesn't understand that analogy.
Many of those interviewed seem to be looking to practice distancing and avoid high risk areas like bars. But it will only take a relatively small number of those attending behaving irresponsibly to jeopardise large numbers of people across the country
Gosh, this isn’t a binary choice. covidiots
What a moron, selfish idiot to say the least. Listen Buddy, it’s really simple, if you don’t practice the basics outlined by the medical people and social distance you are at a major risk. If you want to go and play with your 250,000 mates go for your life, you’re very silly.
No worries, half of them wont be here year anyway
Just learn about HCQ and zinc.
Good on him. If some people want to live indoors for the rest of their miserable days, then let them get on with it and leave the rest of us alone.
Why old guys like motorcycle?
Well great, he may very well have shortened his life dramatically, because he needs to live his life. Ugh
Dude can't take a year off to help his community. Fuck him.
Cooped up all my life? Jeez, drama queen much? This pandemic will pass if we all do our part. It won’t if people continue to act like brats!
2 bikers in accident tested positive for covid-19. 1st responders quarantined...it starts 😞
This is really going to drive down the price of a used Harley in the coming months thanks to the increased supply.
A lot of motorcycle for sale very soon to bad the latest owner was a racists anyway harleydavidsonforracist
Darwinism...
Ojalá que los participantes cumplan con los protocolos anti-virus, es lo más que se les puede desear.
IDIOTS
So do the Portland protests.
False. The protesting did by far
Wonderful! If any of them contract the ‘Rona I’m more than sure they will expect first rate medical care. For the anti-maskers & social distances please print out, fill out, and carry the attached waiver. Enjoy the rally!
In a couple months I’m seeing some good deals on used bikes...
I don’t think that many people actually show up
The new hospital gown?
They deserve their fate, but those they go home to, and who get sick because of their stupidity..they don’t deserve it. These are some selfish bikers right there.
Can't even handle a few months of being a responsible adult... we are so friggin doomed.
Just call it a “protest” & this wouldn’t get any coverage/scrutiny...
I wonder if they are offering returns on that shirt in a month or so.
That's roughly 13,000 natural hips!
whogivesashit
This, of course, will end up an epic nightmare.
Nobody ever accused bikers of being smart.
Like the Portland “peaceful protests” are spreading the virus?
Ok
This country is doomed and it all relates to our lack of science education.
And they are maga people!! Where’s antifa They don’t have the balls to show up
One percent DGAF about your mask
Population only 7,000
It's okay, nobody missed them when they ran away from home, they don't contribute anything to society besides just use up oxygen.
Less trumpers, beautiful, exactly what this country needs!
Like BLM protest crowds!!!!
Awesome 😎
Where do they all eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom in such a small town. Every bar, restaurant, and motel will be infested. Then the bikers will leave the residents infected and then spread the virus all along from whence they came.
We are the most shameful society on earth. We don't care about one another. We're selfish.
Let's hope this thins out the Trump voters a bit 🤞
Hmm... Eight weeks from now... Just in time for the election. Is vote-by-mail allowed from a hospital bed?
Most are probably Trump people and soon there will be less of them. Works for me. Sorry, ignorance is not bliss. It's just ignorant and unfortunately deadly.
I wish I was there but not like this. We have decided not to go to Sturgis this year because of the COVID and glad we didn't go. Some people don't understand what common sense is.
A spokesman for the Covid-19 virus would like to thank the organizers of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for fresh hosts.
Probably no mask wonder how many more people have to die because of things like this
See ya in 2 weeks🙄
Nobody told him he had to stay 'cooped up.' Reality is he just wanted to party with his buds and get drunk......
SturgisSpike
There was no pandemic.
Unwarranted.
Isn't it a bit premature to be selling those 'I survived Corona' shirts? The infected won't know that for at least several weeks.
When they go back home to their respective areas they will be bioterrorists. Somebody, someplace, will die because of these mf'ers.
Love the shirt!
Well, no one has ever accused bikers of being intelligent or sanitary. 😉
There really is alot of stupid people in the US!
Donor cycles. This shit is way worse than road rash.
Would love for Antifa to show up so we can share our freedom of expression that they hate so much with them.
A little too early to be saying, 'I survived'. Give it a month, first.
The entirety of Trump supporters
Losing extra weight may help you look better, but more importantly, it can take pressure off painful joints and improve overall health. LEARN TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT DIET OR EXERCISE.
650.000 that's thousands die of heart disease every year, FUNNY isn't it ,watch people wearing face masks that are over weight that are so censured about there health
Some people haven't outgrown their invincibility phase
Well, all they have to do is say it is a political rally and all the scientists will say that is fine
This is no different than all of the protests happening around the democratic cities that the Democratic leaders allow😑Not sure what the concern is since those protests are not very concerning to them DNC WalkAwayFromDemocrats
Let's wait and see how many get Corvid19 and how fools die .
It doesn't look like an existence that survived. Is that the point?
the largest were BLM protests, but they wore masks. the bikers for Twitler is the largest, without masks. BigDifference
Mask it or Casket!! TrustScience WearTheDamnMask
Have fun! The sheep can stay home and complain like usual.
Forrest Gump said it best 'Stupid is as stupid does'
Morons!
tonyamaypp
I was told during the BLM protests that large gatherings were fine as long as it’s outdoors.
NBC is the Karen network.
I hope antifa shows up So sturgis can show nadler can see how much of a myth they are
Made the mistake of camping at Black Butte the same week as this hep c convention. Smelled like gin and regret for a week
that shirt may be premature
