ARE MOTORCYCLE RALLIES BEING RUINED?
They are! Let’s take a look see what is going on at the big rallies! Sturgis Rally, South Dakota was growing each year and reached an amazing world-record attendance of 550,000 motorcycles in 2005. What happened in 2006? It was totally destroyed! I know, I was there each year and I saw the destruction of the rally in 2006. First; the price of fuel hit over $3 a gallon and the rally lost half right off the bat as people could not afford the gasoline cost to travel to the rally, so there was only 250,000. Yes, those are still big numbers, but it got chopped down in half again to 125,000 who become so upset they left the rally three days early. Second; what happened? The greed factor became so powerful that some people thought it would be a great idea to open up huge acres of land for “automobile parking” so cars could come to the rally. And cars and trucks sure did come too, by the thousands and it plugged up the roads with so much gridlock us bikers could not even get into Sturgis to at
