Sturgis Rally Daily >: "RAPID CITY -- The number of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally-related emergency room visits at hospitals around the Black Hills is almost twice what it was last year at this time.
The numbers don't necessarily reflect an increase in motorcycle accidents. Hospital officials say the increase might be due to the aging of the biker population.
Deb Colson with Rapid City-based Regional Health says hospital officials are seeing various kinds of injuries related to older people, and more heart attacks."
It's the graying of America's outlaws?! Does this mean those dreaded bikers are going to come beat you up with a cane? I doubt it! Those guys may be getting older, but have you seen them? Most of them could still kick some serious ass. In a fight between their generation and the new generation of bikers, with their foriegn made speed rockets, I'll take the Harley riders any day. Still, kind of sad to see one more sign of an institution passing on into the night.
