I will also admit to previously believing in some point in my life, the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and easter bunnies that could poop edible chocolate eggs

HDF:
"But with the vast majority of Americans staying home and taking precautions to fight the spread of coronavirus, what kind of message did the robust attendance at Sturgis — a gathering synonymous with the MoCo — send about Harley riders? That we’re idiots? That we’re not concerned about our communities? That we’re so selfish, we won’t let something like a global pandemic impact a vacation? That we think it’s cool to spread a deadly disease because “freedom?”The ignorance which was on display at Sturgis was infuriating, particularly because you don’t have to look hard to find stories about groups of bikers performing acts of kindness. Search “bikers doing good deeds,” and you’ll get page after page of results that’ll make you proud of the people who share our love of riding. Remember this story about this little girl’s lemonade stand? It’s beautiful.

In the coming weeks, we’re going to learn more about the true cost of Sturgis, and there will undoubtedly be more deaths. How many, we don’t yet know. What we do know is that all Sturgis-related infections were 100 percent preventable. There was nothing essential about traveling from far and wide to party in a little town. There was nothing essential about going to a rock show there. If everyone who made the trip to Sturgis had stayed close to home, and went for long rides on their local twisty roads, our country as a whole would be better off.

As Harley fans, as motorcyclists, and as Americans, what happened at Sturgis this year was deeply embarrassing. We need to be better than this."

I read Derin's & Derek's bios. I didn't see what kind of Harley they own or ride. They're just a couple of talking heads. Repeating a bad/fake news item.

How do I put an editor(s) on ignore?

"In the midst of the pandemic, Harley-Davidson wisely pulled out of the annual rally in Sturgis"

Sadly, the majority of bikers that attended the rally represented Harley. And there is no getting around that.

"But with the vast majority of Americans staying home and taking precautions to fight the spread of coronavirus, what kind of message did the robust attendance at Sturgis — a gathering synonymous with the MoCo — send about Harley riders? That we’re idiots? That we’re not concerned about our communities? That we’re so selfish, we won’t let something like a global pandemic impact a vacation? That we think it’s cool to spread a deadly disease because “freedom?”

Yep, that's the exact message that it sends.

How COULD you? How can you people support this draft dodger, makeup-wearing, phony-baloney, un-American, legendary liar, Russian asset? Are there no patriots among you?
What is wrong with you?
This is/was a Sturgis thread.

we can call an ambulance for you if you need one, or maybe you can get your primary care doc on the line, maybe a 800 number for a total meltdown will help?

at last count, there were about 5 folks here that have been tested for COVID or thought they had it. To a person, it was no big deal with the exception of one who also had some serious underlying issues.

So who's buying the hype in bulk?

oh, and you know me how?
