I'm wondering how you would react to someone arriving at HD rally on a Honda wearing a suit.

Me personally, I'd probably laugh. It's certainly safe to show up at a rally on a Honda and wearing suit. I wouldn't have advised it 20 years ago, but times have changed. In 2005, the guy would fit right in.

My first ever trip to Sturgis in the dark ages, I remember a group hoisting a Japanse motorcycle up with a chain, breaking the oil filter loose, and starting it. Naturally, it ran out of oil in a couple of minutes, started to chug white smoke and then siezed up totally, and the crowd went wild and cheered.

It wasn't until I was well on my way home that it even dawned on me that I'd probably just witnessed a criminal act. I have no way to be sure, but knowing the times, and knowing the people, I now doubt that this little group came by that motorcycle honestly. More like it was the ride of some unlucky SD native, or some poor sot who thought it be ok to ride his Honda to Sturgis.
