These greybeards I see riding Harleys are not poor guys to afford those things. They are LARPers in my opinion, guys trying to recapture their lost youth, like the Hot August Nights geezers and their 1950s-60s cars. Like Hot August Nights, the Street Vibrations rally in Reno was cancelled this year due to corona, and the 24/7 noise and rumbling from thousands of bikes for several days about drives me insane, and I didn't miss it this year. My brother hates it so much he always plans his vacation specifically in September to get away from it.
Best post of the day.
