I dont know about the/any biker culture at present. But for me it is the ride not the destination, that is the reason to choose the bike experience.
I totally agree. When I ride out to Sturgis with family this summer, it will be the ride and the sites along the way that we go for, and we likely won’t stick around for much of the moral depravity in Sturgis before starting back on a new scenic route home.
