Thousands of bikers heading to South Dakotas 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.

Years ago we were in the Black Hills the week prior to the rally. LOTS of motorcycles. My one daughter (5?) looking out the van window exclaimed “What is it - a motorcycle convention!?”
“Yes honey - it is!”
Sounds like a plan.
Anyway, after doing Rolling Thunder 9 years running, Laconia, and Daytona Bike Weeks, I’m a little burned-out for wheel-to-wheel clutching and rolling.
I guess I’m getting OLD. :-)
Hopefully, the indians will get their collective a**es kicked. Setting up reservations was a stupid thing the libs did in the 1800’s. Libs destroy everything they touch.
Speak for yourself, White Man.
They blocked I90 in New York years ago. The Indians used the old Indian technique of rolling a Winnebago full of wood onto I90 and setting it on fire.
When you DO go, you owe it to yourself to check out Iron Mountain Road. Its one of those ‘bucket list’ roads . . .
Safe travels!
Love those kind of EPIC Roads! :-)

I’ve done the Hana Road (rented Sportster) on Maui, and Blue Ridge parkway too. This one looks awesome as well. Happy Riding.

That is cool!!
Is this a good idea?

(If I knew that that sort of comment was frowned upon ... I’d have said it sooner!)
No doubt! Also car accidents, diabetes and heart conditions. Which are in part related to alcoholism but not all.
