The Rally started yesterday.
After a vote by the citizens of Sturgis to cancel the Rally for 2020, a lawsuit by a local souvenir company scared the Mayor into allowing it. The company, that sells Chinese made trinkets and political crap, has grown quite large and powerful as the Rally grew. ...and who wants to miss Buffalo Chip's biggest act: Kid Rock?
Some from the area plan their vacations to escape the Rally, the rest of us hunker down. I stay to guard my place as professional thieves come to the Rally on working vacations. Part of the hunkering is stocking up on anything you might need as the stores get stripped to bare shelves. Make sure you don't need the air flight ambulance or blood.
This year is different as the shelves stripped because of the virus, have never been restocked. There is not one can of Del Monte Mixed Vegetables in any grocery store in this town of 70,000 people. There are 12 power tools for sale at Menard's, and that is 12 total, not 12 different choices. Don't need any power tools, it's just shocking to see 40 feet of bare shelves. I have watched the mixed veggies as my dog loves them in his dry food and it's a way I can make sure he eats before we go to work for the day. Sam's Club has 4 varieties of Del Monte products: Corn, Peaches, Stewed Tomatoes, and Green Beans. That's it!
It's the way things are, and this is a fly over, drive by State, but are all store shelves throughout the USA, still thin to bare?
Good luck fella.. Lock and Load.. Went through Sturgis in 2004, the week BEFORE the rally.
Sad news to hear. My area is back to pre Covid supply. Even have toilet paper again, .
It seems light for Saturday afternoon. If it weren't for the sickness, I'd have to go and see what's new (and the gals all dressed up). There were some pretty good food tents in years past, but I haven't been in so long, I wouldn't know who they would be. Some smell so good it almost draws physically.

I guess you live there?
I can understand you feeling a bit uneasy about this BUT I have to respect the people that don't just follow the crowd and hide from the world.
I'm not insulting you or anyone, this is just how I see it.
I was raised in the area and I work here every summer.
The Rally is pretty tame since Disney took over (joke).
My first recollections are of low slung, stripped down bikes, racers in blue jeans and tee shirts. There were small groups of long distance riders, but no motorhomes, not even a bus. Some of their bikes were loud, but if one was respectful and shifted at a low rpm, they weren't obnoxious. The Cops put up with no crap, and roaring bikes were not tolerated. In that era, I stood before a Judge and he pointed with a bony finger and said if I didn't put OEM mufflers on my loud car, he would throw me in jail. I was only 16, but I knew what Hemi Mufflers were, and they are still on the car, still hiding me from the Cops.
Dirt bikes got faster and higher off the ground, and some of the long range groups' hair grew out. They came on sad bikes thrown together at the last minute with what little money they had and half of their worldly possessions tied to sissy bars. They camped and partied in the City Park, maybe 5 acres in size. I imagine the few hundred all shared the same campfire at some point during the week. We would hear stories and read police reports in the paper, but they were still apprentice partiers compared to what was to come. The crowds got bigger and wilder so the City finally kicked them out of the Park, and I suppose that's when camps started their rise. Camps were a place one would be free to start fires across roads to drag race through and use cucumbers in contests of skill and anatomical gifts.
Now Sturgis is a money making concern and the working stiff on a mildly custom, self built Sportster is history.
The hill climbs are still my favorite.
I'm happy to see something that was planned still taking place . . I figured that Carlisle was going to be the only show to see this year. Maybe Woodward can still be fun although it is cancelled . . . cars will still show up!
They mayor allowed it lol. It would have happened no matter what.
When I used to live by Sturgis I rode my motorcycle all over the Black Hills whenever the weather would cooperate and hit the Sturgis Bike Rally every year, I met alot of cool people from all over the US and other countries, I was hoping to go back this year and enjoy some "freedom" at least for short time anyways.
Hey"greycharger" when you spoke of the cucumber contests it reminded me when I used to work in Rapid City and a guy I worked with told me he used to go to them back in the day and he said he ended up being in a photograph that Playboy took of one of the contests and he stood out in the crowd since he was 6'5 and was standing in the front row. He got a good laugh out of that one.
The Hot August Nights festival in Reno NV was scheduled for LAST week but they cancelled it. Maybe because Nevada is right next door to CA, a state that is saddled with some very oppressive leaders.

Well you guys made mainstream news. Mainly highlighting lack of masks but reasonable behaving crowd. Supplies here in FL. lack prepackaged wipes and any type of isopropyl alcohol. Daytona will fair worse than you I'm certain, booze, beach, bikinis and bikes an explosive mix.

It seems the BLM protests have not caused a spike in Covid cases. Some researchers just published a 60-page paper about it.
They attribute it to people wearing face masks + the outdoor/daylight circumstances.
In light of that, I'm guessing the Sturgis rally won't cause a big Covid spike either. I dunno how many bikers wear face masks, but they do spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sun and not huddled up too close.
Sunlight and open air/wind seem to knock this virus down pretty fast. The worst spreading incidents happen when a bunch of people are closed up together indoors.

QuoteThe death is the third from a crash at the 2020 Sturgis Rally, which is up two from the same time in 2019.
Through 6 a.m. Friday, authorities have made 117 DUI arrests, 112 felony drug arrests and handed out 1,044 citations.
There have been 88 crashes (2 fatal, 47 injury and 39 non-injury) at the event so far.

Had a big group pass me on the Interstate and there was a funny sound, like baseball cards in spokes from a distance. Couldn't figure it out until I noticed all of the loose skin flapping in the wind.

Also not hard to disbelieve, facts data and science don't apply to the other side I get it, that's what you mean.
but during the riots according to "the science" nobody had issues and it was defended vigorously, please.
For a lonely loser that has no friends and stays indoors all the time, reading about other people having fun must be very sad.

Keeping a cheap shot tally? Who's ahead.
:pity:
I really would like to know who, or how, they came up with these numbers? There is no way in hell that these numbers are substantiated? Like others have said, let's then see the numbers from the "friendly protests".
Some foreign economists studied the BLM protests over the summer for Covid spikes. They didn't see any.
The BLM protests have involved significant property damage and/or violence about 7% of the time. That figure comes from another foreign nonpartisan research group.
Portland & Seattle have gotten messy, yeah. But the media keeps forgetting to mention that those kinds of riots are semi-common there. BLM is just the excuse the rioters latched onto this year. In past years they used other excuses.
Truth is, there's nothing in these riots that doesn't happen because of sports team riots every few years. (No, seriously - it's ALL there. Thousands of people in groups, multiple days in a row, multiple cities at once, fires, looting businesses, destroying cars, violence, murders, hundreds of arrests, etc.) But sports riots are not politically useful. When the Canadians or Giants or Pistons win a championship, we don't get our panties in a crunch and start shitting on the constitution.
. . . but I'm getting pretty far afield from the Sturgis rally here.

There's no way in hell the protesters didn't spread Covid but the bikers did, either they both didn't or they both did, furthermore I don't care what a foreign research group said that certainly doesn't make it fact. A lot of cities were on fire across the nation with mass looting Philadelphia didn't experience this kind of vandalism, lose of police cruisers and looting since the race riots of 1964.
This is fact I've seen it with my own eyes I don't need some foreign agency to tell me otherwise, NY same as Philadelphia.
It always makes me laugh when CNN reports from one of these war zones with fire and looting behind them and they say with a straight face that their mostly peaceful.
I don't remember this happening when a sports team lost and I'm near Philadelphia a city that has a reputation of having the meanest fans in America.
Since it came up. I'll pipe in. I support BLM (and I don't mean bureau of land management but I don't have an issue with them either). I'm not part of a domestic terrorist group. The statement is simple. It doesn't mean other lives don't matter. It just means that black lives matter. I live in a community with black people and I don't see any issues with supporting something that says they shouldn't be killed. I also have a recent student who is black. He is pulled over more than I ever was. There is a difference in the way he has been treated compared to me. I recognize this and see it as an extension to the peaceful side of this movement.

How many of the those protests events have you personally visited?
I haven't been visiting them. So pretty much all my knowledge about them is secondhand in some way.
I'll take foreign researchers' data-based conclusions over a bunch of crap on the US new networks. Don't tell me CNN is agenda-pushing crap while FOX news is honest (or vice versa). They are all corporate networks that run on people's tribalism.

It all looks like rioting to me. I wouldn't want any of it happening outside my front door. But I wouldn't want any of those fans prosecuted as terrorists either. I fail to see how the summer protests are so different from this.

Of course protesters spread Covid. At least they were respectful enough to wear masks. The difference is they were exercising their First Amendment Rights rather than throwing an FU party in the middle of a national crisis.
They could have worn masks at their party as a sign of respect and fellowship with their fellow Americans, but very few did. It's an attitude that was not new to the Rally.

I've listed two Philadelphia and NY the others I gathered from various different sources I don't get information from televised news
alone to base an opinion or fact. The two are indeed fact. I've never mentioned Fox News in my statement those are your words.
The pictures you posted are, like you said "not in your back yard" or mine and were isolated and quickly shut down I'm sure and
I agree their crime is vandalism. Furthermore what part of "across the nation" was confusing to you? The entire country doesn't riot
when the dodgers lose.
However the riots were not, they were designed to attack the police, intimidate innocent residents and destroy property to further
an agenda that states if your not with us we burn it down that's the difference and should be prosecuted as such.

I didn't mean the FOX news thing as a personal insult. I just find that very few people go without watching cable news (one side or the other). Most people watch their preferred side and tell themselves "I know when they're being biased."

"and were isolated and quicky shut down" is not much of an argument IMO. Sorta like "he only raped that woman for a few minutes."
I would agree that the Portland & Seattle situations have been longer & messier than usual. But IMO that has less to do with BLM and more to do with the fact that it's Portland & Seattle. Before BLM they were periodically rioting for other reasons. Same areas, same tactics. It's in the news again every few years. Whereas the vast majority of BLM protests did not produce that kind of thing. IMO it's a pacific northwest city problem more than a BLM problem.
QuoteHowever the riots were not, they were designed to attack the police, intimidate innocent residents and destroy property to further

1st amendment. Enforcement/punishment should not vary based on the violators' beliefs. If you agree with this most of the time except in certain cases, then you don't agree with it.
I personally don't agree with the concept of "hate crimes" for the same reason. It's a very PC concept these days but it boils down to punishing some beliefs more than others.
As for BLM protesters engaging in mafia tactics . . . I doubt an (honest) investigation would produce anything substantial. Maybe a handful of individuals are guilty of something but I doubt they would find any widespread habit in the group/organization.
As for them threatening people in general for not being on their side? Consider the sports riot comparison again - try painting the opposing team's logo on your storefront during a riot and see what happens. Heavy tribalism is normal for these scenes.

Although the message of the movement is intended to be a positive one the organization is not. The idea of defund
the police does 0 for communities of color. The fact is when police aren't present crime goes up leaving innocent people
at risk like your student.
In fact all the money donated from large corporations intended for the advancement of minorities and their respective communities
Were funneled into Act Blue an organization that raises money to fund democratic candidates and their campaigns and yes
even Biden the one who wrote the 1994 crime bill, it is often blamed for extending tough on crime policies that overly
criminalized black Americans.

Sometimes, maybe the majority of the time. But not always.
The NYPD went on (the police equivalent of) a strike in 2014 for seven weeks. Crime definitely went down in that period.
https://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-proactive-policing-crime-20170925-story.html
That's just one example. On the other hand it's the biggest department in the country (35,000 in uniform) and the strike went on for almost two months. I wouldn't brush off that result as a fluke.
See? Biden was tough on crime while Trump was still a staunch, lifelong, Democrat.
Wonder how many abortions Trump paid for in his life? :shruggy:
And he gave hundreds of thousands to get his friend, Bill Clinton, elected!
Guess folks easily forget the past. :rotz:
It was proven long ago that uniforms increased the likelihood of a protest becoming violent. There have been a number of studies showing that when plain clothes police circulate in a protest, there is less violence, even if arrests are made.

The police were publicly on strike. Why the hell wasn't crime up by 20% or more? Two months isn't like two days. The public had time to get used to the reduced policing. The thugs & crooks who don't pay attention to politics & news would have time to notice the real-world difference. Etc.
It's already a remarkable outcome if the crime rate stayed perfectly flat. IMO it would be enough to rank as 'surprising' if crime had gone up by only 5%. The whole point of the strike was to demonstrate that the city needed the NYPD at full strength to be safe. It failed.
That is surprising.
Quote,The police were publicly on strike.
The police weren't really on strike they can't strike by law. They can say it but they can't actually do it.
The areas that were destroyed, in those situations the elected officials had instructed them to stand down.
I don't know about you but that's not the country I want to live in. E.g. CHAZ/CHOP.
BTW without throwing fuel on the fire has anyone seen the revised CDC fatality numbers?

They cannot "strike." But they can reduce their response to the bare minimum and make a big public show of declaring it. Which is what they did.
Suppose that NYPD strike in 2014 never happened. Then suppose BLM was calling for a two-month "stand down to bare minimum enforcement" in NYC right now, and the politicians agreed to do it. Imagine the reactions to this. The police & many people would declare that NYC crime is going to skyrocket. They wouldn't even think it was debatable. They would be mocking other people for even questioning that foregone conclusion.
No matter how you stack it, the result of the NYPD strike was pretty surprising.
And again, I'm not saying it would work that way in every US city. I'm just saying it's an important finding. It may apply to some other places. We don't know. But when conventional wisdom is proven flat-out wrong (and on a very large sample size), the issue bears more study.

What happened was that Cali raised the threshold between misdemeanor vs felony from $450 up to $950. Nothing else. There is no stand-down order against shoplifting laws.
And that's perfectly reasonable IMO. $450 is nothing these days. It buys 2 or 3 slashed tires or busted mailboxes.
I vote we let this topic rest a bit and move back to cars.

The shoplifters involved might have believed there was a stand down order they were never caught.
Another take from the video is that the employee instructed her coworker to call the police, without that option do they go free
because it's only a couple of tires and a mailbox? Or do the employees get involved to stop it which in most cases doesn't end well.
It's unfortunate but necessary that the police have to waste resources on crimes like these because if it were a social worker trying
to stop this one of those thieves may just turn around and shoot or knife them, that's the reality.

I still vote to focus on cars and leave the topics in this thread to rest. :cheers:
I recognize that there are other issues we might discuss, but for me, the focus on chargers among people who largely keep their opinions to themselves is what makes this forum enjoyable.
The daily loss of the Greatest Generation with their self sacrifice, respect for fellow Americans, and common sense leaves a gaping hole in the American Experiment. They wouldn't need orders from the Government to do the right thing. They didn't whine about impositions, they just hunkered down and pulled harder.
yeah, I'd rather talk about car stuff I SICK of Politics.

When nearly a half-million motorcycle enthusiasts gathered in South Dakota this summer, health experts worried the gathering would ignite new outbreaks of coronavirus cases
It did, according to a report Friday that looked at cases in neighboring Minnesota
About one-third of counties ended up having at least one coronavirus case that was tied to August's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, investigators reported in a study mainly conducted by Minnesota health officials and published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Minnesota officials counted 86 cases that they said were related to the rally — 51 people who went to Sturgis and 35 who came into contact with those people later. Most did not suffer serious illnesses, but four were hospitalized and one died.
"These findings highlight the far-reaching effects that gatherings in one area might have on another area," the study authors wrote. "The motorcycle rally was held in a neighboring state that did not have policies regarding event size and mask use, underscoring the implications of policies within and across jurisdictions."
CDC officials did not immediately answer a question about any other research assessing the Sturgis rally's impact on other states.
The rally has been a source of contention between the governors of Minnesota and North Dakota. Earlier this month, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for not taking more aggressive steps to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Walz, a Democrat, said the Sturgis rally was "absolutely unnecessary." Singling out Noem, who is a Republican, he said he wished the state had canceled the rally and imposed a statewide mask mandate, as Minnesota has.
In September, The Associated Press found that at least 290 people in 12 states tested positive for the coronavirus after attending the rally.

I talked to another nurse yesterday that is involved in a network of 7 hospitals and she confirmed like all others that the hospitals are not over filled and the numbers are all BS. Older people need to watch out, just like when they get pheumonia. If you want to live in fear, stay inside. Do what you are comfortable doing.
Is there a big ruckus about hospitals being overfilled? I haven't been paying much attention to the details lately.
The outbreak is booming. The death rate is down around 1% because we've learned some things about treating severe Covid.
IMO these days there is too much focus on the fatality angle and not enough on the "long covid" angle (problems lingering long after the person is "recovered"). The focus got this way for understandable reasons. Last spring the death rate looked worse + we didn't have any long-term data on survivors yet. But we need to adjust now.

Yes, if we choose to hunker down, it must be forever, never to leave the cave again. Those are our only two choices. Wearing a mask or missing a Thanksgiving is too much.
If someone wants to show us bravery, they can video tape themselves licking door knobs.

I think cars are better to talk about, but I also think anecdotes count. I found out yesterday from my sister who is an infectious diseases doctor that they don't have an issue with people from their state and area filling up their hospitals, but are getting patients flown in from Idaho and the Dakotas. May point to some places having an issue with space. Also learned that a young parent of a family friend died from a relapse. Had COVID in June, recovered. Relapsed a few weeks ago and died.

I posted as I was concerned about a super spreader event. I expected the post to move down the line and disappear as posts do. That didn't happen because someone who thinks he is better than everybody else decided to hijack the thread. I tire of this sophomoric hijack and it's debasing of women. grow up, people
So, AK, to get your original wish of manipulating the Moderators into locking this thread using politics...
It turns out the Rally was a super spreader and these man babies, following their cult leader, the orange man baby, chose to have their dress-up party in spite of the risk to fellow Americans. Their freedom is more important than anyone else's. Next year, there will be Covid Checkpoints and outstanding arrest warrant searches.
The results are: dead and maimed friends and family, and that would be enough, but many innocent people have also been harmed by these freedom lovers. I hope those innocent find lawyers to sue for personal injury, Rod Woodruff, owner of Buffalo Chip, and the childish people who infected the innocent.
Maybe with the orange man baby in prison, we can begin to move to a place where we can respectfully discuss our World without petty, personal attacks, or lies.
Maybe not, but until we can, start your own threads AK

No, I won't. It might get me banned forever, but I've had enough.
Covid is not political, but people believe it is a hoax and deny, try to minimize its impact by questioning the number of deaths, and have parties because they believe a TV personality over hard science and people who have spent their lives fighting epidemics.
We can't discuss it because the truth goes against some people's dear leader.
Fine, just tell me how to lock this thread so I don't have to be a part of it.

start your own threads AK
Wow, talk about a real L O S E R. This guy even complains about pictures of good looking women? :hah:
Nothing makes you happy, man. Maybe Ponch should post up some shirtless sweaty guys on horseback to get you smiling again? :slap:
You start threads and don't like the direction they take? Well, too bad. THAT is the internet, dude. If we were in person to see your miserable face, you might have a better chance of keeping a topic on track. By your general theme shown time and time again, you come across as a guy that nobody would choose to befriend so that may be a moot point. Nobody wants to be around a person that complains about things all the time. You may think that you are performing a public service but when each of your posts feels like a lecture and a scolding, you are not going to be received well.
Your words....." I expected the post to move down the line and disappear as posts do...."
Take your own words and apply them to your account here. Disappear and see who misses you.
Do THAT, or try changing your tune and post with a more positive tone. Surely there is something you can write that is inspiring, entertaining or encouraging.
Maybe you need something like THIS ?
Ha ha...

Just for the record.
I don't object to greycharger's comment. I see some validity to it.
I also don't object to AKcharger's purile posts (but I should :slap:) because it gave a reason to abandon the politics. also ... well it is a guy thing :slap:, but doesn't go over well with some....
That is my 2 cents.
The thing that I don't like on either side is stirring the pot just to cause disagreement. This is a car forum and we maintain a balance that we like. Other car fora have different balances. To each their own.
I vote (and I have an extra 11000 votes in reserve :lol:) to keep it the way it is.
Who's talking politics? Usually the ones who don't practice what they preach. :yesnod:
AK start a new thread with girls and no girls allowed :lol:

If it's such a problem, why not hit the RTM button? Personally, I'm tired of the Covid, politics nonsense. Might be time for one of Skip's Do not post threads.
???? RTM ?
To me as soon as people consistantly Ignore/violate THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO DISCUSS POLITICS OR RELIGION Then the post has lost all validtity and it's "game on"
I find it Amazing people actually belive they can change peoples minds on the internet!!!

Thank you. I'm fortunate that my case is limited to fever and fatigue. I'm breathing just fine. Others have had a rougher time of it.
KD,
Take care of yourself (and your wife). I didn't see that she caught it, but if she does, I hope it is mild.
This particular thread has been a bit of a fighting place.
I wonder if we want to move to another one.
Lately, I'm too tired to fight.....
Mary is doing fine and plans to be tested tomorrow.
We'll get through this.
When I had covid, hell, I didn't even look at anything online...
Wake up, eat breakfast, drink a cup of coffee and go back to sleep.
Repeat for lunch. At dinner, eat, try to stay up for a few hours, then go to bed.
Get well Soon!
Sorry about this. Best of luck with it. :o
I have several friends/family who got Covid during the last 6 months. Their experiences ranged from a heavy regular flu to a ventilator. It sucked but they all survived. They are all back at work now.
My Gawd :cheers:
