Thousands of bikers heading to South Dakota’s 10-day Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will not be allowed through Cheyenne River Sioux checkpoints, a spokesman for the Native American group said on Saturday.

The decision to prevent access across tribal lands to the annual rally, which could attract as many as 250,000 bikers amid fears it could lead to a massive, regional coronavirus outbreak, comes as part of larger Covid-19 prevention policy. The policy has pitted seven tribes that make up the Great Sioux Nation against federal and state authorities, which both claim the checkpoints are illegal.

You would figure the Indians would be more woke than this, having had their culture slaughtered by the white Imperialistic government.

Thanks for the ping, Martin!

Did 100 miles today just cruising SE MA, following the Yard Sale Signs. What a lovely day it has been.

I’d love to go to Sturgis someday.

....however it is alright for rioters...sorry protesters, thousands of protesters to gather when and where ever they want?

Try this: Thousands of Democrats to gather for a Joe Biden Rally...this is not about Covid-19....

I'll bet Great Aunt Mamie's diamond stomacher the Great Sioux Nation is being politically threatened....

“Try and stop 250,000 bikers.”

Stopped at Breezewood, PA for gas about 30 years ago on a Memorial day weekend Friday.

It was after midnight and I was on my way to D.C.

A bunch of motorcycle guys pulled in. I was scared to death. All I remembered about motorcycle gangs was the Hell’s Angles.

Turned out to be a Rolling Thunder group headed to D.C. to celebrate our veterans!!

Great guys! Tough stuff and sweethearts. Great night! They pumped my gas for me and we had a blast talking.
