South Dakota is lacking enough infected people-
Sturgis Rally 2021 Dates
August 06-15, 2021
81st Anniversary
Come one, Come all idiots - to ignore compassion, patriotism and common sense.
No restrictions, no vaccine requirements, no masks, no brains.
Zero responsibility. And no testing.
If you survived the last one, maybe you'll make it through this one, too!
Spin that massive Corona Wheel of Death to see if the Delta Variant gets you.
(Only one in ten Americans have had COVID)
Or maybe you will take home a special prize to kill off a loved one back home.
Surely someone will want your bike if you don't live to see another Sturgis.
You might just go home and infect you employer, then he dies and you lose your job.
So much excitement to be had.
Be there or have common sense. You are free to decide.
"“I think now that COVID is less of a thing than it was, and then the Hells Angels are here this year, and I think that’s going to bring a lot of business to a lot of places. I think it’s probably going to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, years in rally history,” she said.

Sturgis Liquor Store, which is owned by the town, does 20-25% of its business over the course of the 10-day rally. Travis Parker, who has worked at the liquor store since 2017, said in 2020 it generated around $560,000 during the rally.
The store adds eight to 12 employees during the rally and increases its stock by around $100,000. Even then and with all registers open the lines still creep into the aisles and the store runs out of some beverages. Parker said with COVID messing with the supply chain it has been difficult to stock some products in the first place.
Jack Daniels whiskey is the go-to for many patrons during rally week, Parker said, along with “heavy hitters” like Tito’s vodka and “an ungodly amount” of Fireball whiskey.
The liquor store engraves the whiskey bottles with rally logos and can custom-engrave bottles for customers as well. Most often customers want their names, but Parker said he also engraves a lot of military designs. The engravings are done by two employees, including Parker, and a vendor parks outside to help engrave bottles as well.
Engraved bottles are in high demand and Parker said the store does hundreds of engravings each year, which can get stressful as it takes 10-12 minutes per bottle.
“But it’s cool when you hand someone a bottle and they smile,” he said."
