Re: [emrat:12446] Covid at Sturgis

I agree with Vince.  In a few months, the used bike market could be flooded with Harleys if Sturgis indeed becomes a "super-spreader event."   If I can buy a relatively new 1200 Sportster variant for peanuts, well . . . . I'll ask Curtis for advice.

One of the saddest news clips that I have recently seen, however, was of a young man in Texas in an ICU.  He had gone to a party titled a "Covid 19 party." 

His last words were:  "I think I made a mistake."

I hope it does not happen, but there may be many Sturgis bikers who will think or say the same thing . . . I hate to think what will happen when they return to their homes, families, friends and jobs and unwittingly infect more people.

Finally, as an ex-journalist having paid attention to the news media coverage of Sturgis since 2005 when I first went, I have never seen so much national coverage of Sturgis as has happened this year.  A dubious distinction . . .

Having owned 2 Electra Glides I can attest to the fact that they no longer leak oil, are extremely reliable and can be ridden all day long in complete comfort.  If your idea of motorcycling is touring the country on the Interstate Highway System they are hard to beat.  I'm guessing you'll be able to pick up a nice one cheap come the end of September at an estate sale near you.  The CBX chopper might be available as well.

A CBX6 chopper?!  At least it sounds good! TCD

One of the symptoms of Covid-19 infection is a loss of taste.It occurred to me that some of the attendees might never be able to tell if that happens.
