I wonder if they will get the 250,000 expected for the ten-day event?

Ten days is enough time for some of them to start having symptoms and even be terribly ill on the ride home or ready for the ICU.

Methinks a field hospital should have been setup in advance to take the many self-appointed victims, considering the potential for comorbidity factors to increase the likelihood of their very last rides. Did they do a will before coming to be sure the hog goes to a good home?

being slammed. I would expect many cancelled this year, but I wonder if they got their space fees refunded? Some of those vendors have big bucks invested in stock for that, and Sturgis makes their year.

I was part owner of a custom t-shirt business that worked biker rallies. We never came close to making the investment to try and get in there.
