As COVID-19 cases surpass five million in the U.S. - and deaths exceed 162K, according to Johns Hopkins University & Medicine - tens of thousands of motorcyclists rode into South Dakota for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally - most of which were unmasked and not following social distancing guidelines.
“No, we didn’t take any precautions,” Rally attendee Jim Busch told the New York Times, adding that he thinks the coronavirus pandemic, which he refers to as a “situation,” is “manufactured. “There’s ulterior motives behind this, so we’re not concerned.”
The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is a 10-day event that is estimated to attract about 250,000 attendees this year. While this number is half of last year’s attendance, it’s still a shockingly large event amid a global pandemic - and, according to the Times, among the country’s largest public gatherings since the start of the pandemic in the U.S.
Photos and videos from the event show a sea of largely unmasked crowds, many wearing Trump 2020 gear and shirts that read “Screw Covid I went to Sturgis.”
There was also a larger-than-life float dedicated to Trump.

... only liberals are scared of a highly contagious disease that kills people over 70 pretty completely.
Lots of over 70 bikers, many now on trikes (legs giving out)
Why don't you go scold them Kristine?
You just have to realize that these people are motorcyclists. They enjoy taking a container of flammable liquid, place it on top of a hot, moving engine, and then place the whole thing between their legs and drive off at high speed.
You think they’re going to worry about getting a virus?
My brother traded in Harley #4 for a Harley trike last year. He is 62 and has a right knee that he wasn’t born with. He and his wife are at Sturgis, they have gone every year for at least the past 20 years.
You could say the same thing about so many Antifa & fireworks & tipped-over statues and busted and burning storefronts in any given place... ...but who wants to jinx the possibility it by saying it out loud?
We are scheduled to attend the Buffalo Roundup in Custer next month. I hope a hot spot wasn’t created — that area of the world is among the most beautiful. My happy place!
>>>A Sturgis BLM rally.<<<
Biker Lives Matter!
LOL! Do you mind if I copy that and send it to my brother?
We are the original 1%ers.
“Did antifa show up”?
Not a snowball’s chance in hell!
Just call it a “riot” and the mask question goes away.
Have at it, see mail
The Democrats will pray for a huge outbreak. If there isn’t one it will undercut the Covid hysteria campaign.
Some are a couple of hours late, they stopped to take some scalps ...
Motorcycle Hooligan *PING*
