The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, one of the largest biker gatherings in the world which annually draws around 500,000 people to the namesake town in South Dakota, is still set to run from August 7 to 16. As CNN noted, some riders have already begun to roll into the city, which has under 7,000 residents, despite the objections of a majority of locals.
“About 60% of Sturgis residents, when they were interviewed, told the city they would prefer the occasion not to happen as planned this year,” CNN reported. Unfortunately, locals have little to say about the comings and goings of the two-wheeled Sturgis pilgrims. As the city administrator, Daniel Ainslie, said at the point of sale: “As a city, we can’t do anything, we shouldn’t barricade and say, “You can’t go in.”
So come in, they will. But what sorts of precautions will be in place for the 80th event? A quick look at the front page of the rally website only has two mentions of the coronavirus: one about travel restrictions on tribal lands, and another about guidelines for serving liquor and malt beverages. There are, of course, other measures in place, but because of the state’s lax response to the coronavirus, CNN noted that many of the recommendations — like 50-percent capacity in bars and restaurants — are not “legally enforceable.”
What else is on the docket despite the pandemic? A fully-booked lineup of concerts scheduled for every day of the rally at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip campground.
But who would agree to play an exhibition in a super spreader? Smash Mouth, of course.
