[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 303333, member: 983"] The scourge of the earth is here again and in force. The bikes showed up big time last Wednesday and things are really busy now. Took a break from it and headed west for a long weekend, a bit of an escape before this week. Not sure what it is about having bikes everywhere, after living in it for 25 years it seems more and more than bikes think they own the road during the rally. We were going down the road at 65 mph with a loaded horse trailer and literally had 5 bikes pull out in front of us. Basically pushed the horses forward into the drop and divider trying to not run them over. It's amazing more don't get hurt with the stupidity I see on a regular basis during the rally. The economic benefit of the rally is great, but after living here and dealing with it this long I hate those two weeks more than any of the year. Unless you love sitting on main street in Sturgis surrounded by bikes, come in June instead. Way less traffic, you won't pay $8 for a beer, and will really get to enjoy the hills. There are a lot of middle age to old folks on bikes (and trikes) these days, not much of a younger crowd though. Will be curious to see what the demographic is like in another 20 years. [/QUOTE]
