>…There were way too many bikers to fit into the bars there, so most of the time they spent outside.  Ditto for filling motels.  Maybe they used tents?  So I agree that being outside may be part of it…

 

Most of what happens at Sturgis happens outdoors.  There are not nearly enough accommodations for indoor sleeping.  There are no new ones being built: they would need to charge 5000 bucks a night to carry the place until the bikers return next year.  It is camping on the ground.  

 

 

 

>…As for a test, let's take another group that is spending their time outside:  football players…

 

That gets us only part of the way there.  The football players go home at the end of the day, rather than sleep on the ground.

 

>…I do not know what they are doing inside - wearing masks probably, unlike the average students who are getting the virus big time… bill w

 

>From the Sturgis photos I saw, I don’t recall anyone wearing a mask.  I have long suspected those don’t really do all that much when everyone is outdoors.  

 

The pre-selection of healthy people is the best alternative argument I can think of: those who were not feeling well called it off, didn’t go.  Granny isn’t feeling well, she says: 

 

Brutus, you go on without me honey and enjoy the ride if I hear you were cheating greet the guys from your Army division with those college harlots have a great time I will bash your damn brains in while you are asleep and do pass along my greetings you will never know what hit you to their wives from me I was what hit you enjoy the good company and ride safe sweetheart!

 

It would be one of those cheerful sendoffs with a warning message big tough biker dudes know to not ignore.
