Sturgis, SD

Only three of the deceased riders are confirmed to have been wearing helmets. That's one more death when compared to the 2023 rally. The Sturgis Rally finished on August 11th, and in the period just before, during, and after the event, 12 riders were left dead as a result of road traffic accidents. Of the riders killed, just three were confirmed to have been wearing helmets, while seven of the riders weren't wearing helmets. It's still under investigation whether or not two of the riders were wearing helmets.

Talk about a close call.

Camping is great and all, but it does leave you at the mercy of nature. You know, if you're really roughing it out there with tents and what not. If you're toughing it out in a 30-foot camper with running water, I don't know if you can really call that camping.

But I will say that staying in a camper or RV is safer when it comes to having run-ins with wild animals.

In this clip, we get to see how nature can show its teeth at any moment. A family camping together was set up on some...

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
