All the likely points of contact were <br />unprotected (no masks) and high contact, hug a buddy.<br /><br />Myself I called that a spreader event.

I went through Minot, and across the northern tier of Montana and North Dakota. Though I've been to Sturgis numerous times dating back to the seventies, not this time. Nowhere near it.<br /><br />The last couple of times I've made that run, in particular the 50th anniversary run, it was such a tourorist zoo I swore it off. Ain't nothing like the old days about it. Of course that can said of the whole "Harley" personna these days. Well past time to retire those wings.<br /><br />Not to mention "loud pipes save lives". No, it's just fawking rude.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342911380840320087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-46100809232295111412020-10-19T08:39:05.420-04:002020-10-19T08:39:05.420-04:00There were a lot of indoor activities going on at ...There were a lot of indoor activities going on at Sturgis.

If protests/riots are not super spreader events for the same reason, then how could Sturgis be except for bias in reporting?Midwest Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296327673871169304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-21097551168419803682020-10-19T01:57:16.559-04:002020-10-19T01:57:16.559-04:00Most of the bikers I know are smarter than to go t... Most of the bikers I know are smarter than to go to Strugis in a pandemic, and that was the problem. The smart ones didn't go, so you couldn't really expect the ones who did go to behave themselves.<br /><br /> -Doug in Sugar Pinedinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.com
