" When they arrived in Sturgis, bikers and tourists packed bars and visited shops. They also participated in outdoor contests like bikini modeling, "Beers and Burps," air sex events, cherry pie eating, and fake orgasm competitions."

Rip Van Winkle woke up and suddenly bikers were... right-wing Republicans?!?

Didn't they used to be sort of libertarian hippies-with-a-violent-streak? I'm thinking of Altamont and even that the Rolling Stones would hire them...

I guess they got old and, like some, shifted to the right, but why haven't bikers rejuvenated themselves with younger blood?

Honestly,all motorcycle riders should die, not because of their politics or because they are ignorant with regards to the pandemic. No, they should die because motorcycles are annoying AF! Why the hell would anyone drive those things? They are not cool, they do not make you a bad ass, they just irritate and annoy everyone in a 1-mile radius. If your goal is to irritate everyone in a 1-mile radius, you are an inconsiderate ******* who deserves to die.

The Hells Angels at Altamont were hippie hating rednecks that while on meth and beer clownstomped concert goers with glee (and killed a Black man). I found this:

" American bikers (defined for purposes of this answer as those motorcyclists who exclusively ride Harley-Davidsons and/or belong to a "1%" motorcycle club) tend to be right-wing in their politics, but are somewhat more libertarian, not necessarily conservative, with regard to their personal morals.

Politically they are patriotic and nationalistic. They are heavily pro-military by virtue of many of them being veterans in their own rights. They favor candidates who project a sense of strength over someone who might be more willing to negotiate or be diplomatic. Putting a politician on a motorcycle for a photo-op is a common vote-pandering technique used by both major parties to demonstrate an association with bikers as a voter bloc.

Morally, they are tolerant of alcohol or drug use, are libertine (yet predominantly heterosexual) in their attitudes about sex, and will profess cultural Christianity as their primary moral position. They are not necessarily racist to KKK levels, but neither are they completely at ease with too much race-mixing on either social or romantic levels." Paul Cortez

feeling better yet Golden S? goood, so w/o rancor i'll mention my decade sober lil brother has celebrated life on (and falling off) a hill climbing 2 wheeler for nearly 60 years. his latest bike hits the road at least once a week, even after the just in time heart bypass some months ago. we all have our shortcomings, sure, but lets try'n embrace our better selves. duh ps - we all die, and loud bikes surely do suck.

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally: Coronavirus cases are emerging, including at bars - The Washington Post


https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/20/sturgis-attendee-bar-coronavirus/

Update for the thread captivating to an audience of one on BI:

"Health officials in several states are linking cases of the virus to the 10-day Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota, which drew hundreds of thousands of participants this month in spite of the pandemic.

Kris Ehresmann, the infectious disease director at the Minnesota Department of Health, said at a briefing on Friday that at least 15 cases in Minnesota were identified as having originated from rally attendees. Seven more cases were identified in Nebraska, according to reporting from CNN.

"Health officials in South Dakota said this week that they had traced several cases to a popular bar along Sturgis's main street, where photos showed thousands of people congregating without masks over the course of the rally...

... The rally ended last Sunday, but health officials warn that it will take time before the extent of associated outbreaks can be measured, as it can take days for symptoms to appear in people who have been infected."

Thanks for the update

The RWNJ in this site do a good job of keeping their headlines up and ignoring, letting drop, headlines they don't like. We take the bait too often.

Still way too early, but at this point the smattering of cases tied to Sturgis isn't particularly meaningful. COVID is widespread throughout the country, so of course you are going to see cases among the 300k+ who attended.

Unless we see thousands of cases tied to Sturgis, it's hard to consider this to have been a material superspreader event, particularly since the type of people who attended were already being irresponsible in their own communities. It's entirely possible that this is a net neutral event because we consolidated hundreds of thousands of idiots in one place and reduced the risks to everyone else in the process. We really need to wait a few weeks before we'll know.

And let's not forget, Cal88 said that we would be nearly done with COVID by mid-August, so we're basically done right?

I love it when they say some country is having a resurgence of COVID-19: " _____ reported 63 cases yesterday! Their government health officials are very concerned!" And we're practically celebrating when our previous days' case count is down to 45,000.

(I don't "love" that, actually. You know... )

The deplorables would have you believe he actually died of a comorbidity called cardiac arrest. Most people don't know this but it's extremely deadly. Some would say the deadliest.
