UNDATED (AP) – Thousands of bikers poured into the small South Dakota town of Sturgis as the 80th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally rumbles to life despite fears it could lead to a massive coronavirus outbreak. The bike rally is set to become the largest gathering of people since the pandemic began. Event organizers are expecting 250,000 people from all over the country to make their way through Sturgis during the 10-day rally. Local residents – and a few bikers – worried it could create a “super-spreader” event. But many who rode their bikes into town expressed defiance of the uncomfortable regulations that have marked life during a pandemic.
