History is Living, one milestone per dayAn August First Week: Reviewing the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally so far from Wayfarer@Bikernet.com Rolling Roaring Numbers The 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has an open-road spirit from August 1 till date. Witnessing an impressive swell in turnout, with first five days recording over 311,000 vehicles rolling into Sturgis. It is a 11% increase over the past five-year average. Another report tallied 250,000+ vehicles in the first four days. Clearly, people wanted to tread the tradition and shred any doubts on a thriving motorcycling culture in America. This may go on to be a record-breaking attendance as momentum keeps up. Legends and Ladies A special milestone this year is Gloria Tramontin Struck, now 100 years young, reigning as the Grand Marshal. She’s been a Motor Maid since 1946, with a lifelong passion for riding—spanning entire 48 continental U.S. states and much of Europe as well. Sturgis Rally’s ethos of endurance & freedom, is epitomized by this legendary lady. Thrills, Lights and Action The Thunderdome arena exploded with the crowds of spectators as Colby Raha shattered a world record. He launched his Harley-Davidson Sportster to 205 feet at 80 mph. Evel Knievel was the first thought on everyone’s mind—a daredevilry to remember a legacy. Tarmac meets Bikers Well, one can roll all ways but one. Amid these fantastic events, meetings, greetings, shopping, product demos—there were some more humbling numbers. 18 crashes, including one fatal accident, have been reported. Damage and dent causes ranged from vehicle malfunctions or lack of helmet use. Clearly, where it hurts most went unreported (read ‘ego’……“ouch”). Cops ‘allegedly’ (okay, actually, they do have specific records and numbers, LOLz) recorded 21 DUIs, 31 misdemeanor, and 14 felony drug violations so far into the event. Brothers turn on brothers….to meet and greet Sturgis as a miracle-drug-den transformed strangers into kin and bros. The curves on Iron Mountain Road, a shared witnessing of the iconic Mount Rushmore with a quiet gaze through pines—unknowns became known as a fellowship, a fraternity of integrity, honor and freedom. When you can share a laugh by the roadside, share a bench for a snack, or gather in co-operative, courteous groups at an evening ride, you realize that the rallying turbo fuel happens to be the instantly inflammable, enduringly memorable, camaraderie of bikers. Rooted in a shared lifestyle of throttle family values. Grit isn’t always grace under fire…sometimes, it is acknowledging a spark, a reflection of yourself in those around you. Grassy knowledge: Riders’ opinions Veterans and newcomers alike shared stories with media, all of ‘em together in their devotion to a tradition that reminds us of our need to protect what we love. A rider, journeying from Illinois, mentioned to KOTA TV that it was his 24th straight year, even joking that his “wife gives me the hall pass”—a nod to the rally’s magnetic pull. Many other publications spoke of first-timers from Arkansas, Oklahoma and more, already feeling at home—ready to embrace a fellowship. An Environment of Self-sustenance Rally at Black Hills Harley-Davidson in Rapid City has become a critical hub with 50+ acre vendor fairground offering service, gear, and access before riders ride into the heart of Sturgis. The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum at Main Street and Junction Avenue, is hosting special events celebrating women’s motorcycling history, along with depth and reflection of the rally’s bloodline, guts and glory. Metal, Noise & Milieu Unfolding on the dusty streets, among roaring engines, is a living tapestry of freedom, legacy, respect, and innate human connection. From a centenarian, to a curious onlooker at the Thunderdome, from browsing across vendors to brokering new bonds over stories & beers—every hand twists and turns toward friendship. If you can’t feel the warmth in this heat of the moment—you need to check your pulse and dial your local ER service center. Be ready to realize an epic 85th rally not only by number-crunching or its varying shows and shops—but because Sturgis again stands for spirit of motorcycling. Ride free forever or try again…and you may have a wingman to break free!

The New Brunswick government issued a notice telling residents to stay out of the woods because of the risk of wildfires. “As of 12:01 a.m. Sunday, August 10, all Crown land in the province will close due to an extreme wildfire hazard,” a statement on behalf of the Government of New Brunswick read. “As a result of extremely dry and dangerous conditions, the closure of Crown land will see all industrial and recreational activities prohibited on Crown land. We are also encouraging private landowners to take the same precautions. People currently at camps on Crown land are encouraged to leave by midnight. In addition, people are also being asked to avoid using private wood lots and woods roads,” it continued. The notice by New Brunswick follows a similar move by Nova Scotia, where residents are threatened with a $25,000 fine. Canadian Province Orders Residents To Stay Out Of The Woods – Threatens $25,000 Fine The notice continues: The restrictions on Crown land, effective as of 12:01 a.m. on August 10, include: Hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted trail systems through woods are off limits. Camping is allowed only in campgrounds, but the public is being asked to reconsider their camping plans until such time the forest fire risk decrease. Private property owners are also strongly encouraged to follow the same approach. As of noon on Saturday, there were seven active wildfires, including the one in Miramichi currently deemed to be out of control. Five were being patrolled and one was under control. This year, to date, there have been 222 fires, burning approximately 168 hectares. Last year, there were 215 fires that burned 185 hectares. The 10-year-average of fires to date is 206 fires that burned 374 hectares. Along with our fleet of air tankers, we also have two skimmer planes from Quebec in action that can land on and scoop water from lakes or other bodies of water, then drop it on wildfires. New Brunswickers are asked to stay away if they see these planes near water for the safety of the pilots and themselves. Danny Goddard, the province’s wildfire science officer, says the province is in a long-term drying trend. This means lower humidity and high temperatures will continue into the end of next week. “Our province is facing an extremely volatile situation right now,” said Natural Resources Minister John Herron. We need New Brunswickers to stay out of the woods for their own safety, and the safety of their neighbours, communities, wildlife habitats, and our forests.” Premier Susan Holt said it’s extremely important for New Brunswickers to look after one another and to keep safety top of mind while we are in this period of prolonged wildfire risk. “The entire province is in an unprecedented situation,’’ said the Premier. “I know that New Brunswickers deeply care for one another and love our forests and beautiful natural environment. Right now, we need New Brunswickers to help keep our people and our province safe.” A burn ban remains in place for the entire province, including all provincial parks. Up-to-date information on wildfire risks and burn bans is available on the Fire Watch website. New Brunswick has joined Nova Scotia in banning people from the woods. Agenda 2030 in action. The goal is to ban people from nature, and it is progressing. The eventual goal?

Holt said she hopes that step won't be necessary. "We know New Brunswickers want to protect our woods and forests," she said. "Should that change, then we'll revisit the question of fines." A wildfire that broke out earlier in the week on Oldfield Road, about 16 kilometres north of Miramichi, grew in size on Saturday, going from 160 hectares in the morning to approximately 240 hectares by 3 p.m., said Natural Resources Minister John Herron. Herron called the fire "beyond control." He said it is in a classification that it cannot be controlled currently no matter what resources are thrown at it. No structures have been damaged in the fire thus far but officials are knocking on doors to warn nearby cottage owners.

Los Angeles officials urged nearly 10,000 households in two communities to refrain from using tap water until further notice. “On Tuesday, a valve failed during repairs at a pump station that connects to a water tank that serves Porter Ranch and Granada Hills, prompting about 9,200 households to lose water service,” the Los Angeles Times noted. Officials aim to restore water service by early Monday morning. Video footage showed Porter Ranch residents lining up for bottled water. Cars are lining up in #PorterRanch, as local residents pick up bottled water. This. After a valve in the #LADWP water system got stuck. And water stopped flowing to 9200 customers. Repairs will take days. @knxnews pic.twitter.com/NUOkIUpy8x — Jon Baird (@KNXBaird) August 6, 2025 The Los Angeles Department of Water & Power wrote: LADWP crews are making significant progress to restore water service to the Granada Hills and Porter Ranch communities. Ongoing repairs have reached a critical point that require the full cooperation of residents in the affected area to refrain from using the tap until further notice. Using water will delay our progress for repairs, repressurizing the system and completing sampling and testing to lift the Boil Water Notice. To begin replacing the broken valve, LADWP crews had intended to begin emptying the water from the pipe connecting to the temporary water source tonight at 8 p.m. However, at approximately 5:00 p.m., the pipe blew out and spilled the water onto the street. The pumps and valves have been shut and while residual water in the pipe continues to flow, this does not impede our plans and continued progress to start the dewatering process. The temporary water source feeding the system is now shut and as such, there is very limited water supply in the system. It is paramount that customers keep taps closed, sprinkler systems off, and pool filling systems shut down. Following this guidance will help speed up full water service restoration as we refill the tank and repressurize the system. LADWP will begin water quality sampling and testing as soon possible. We are working with our regulators in the Division of Drinking Water to make sure we follow the strict guidelines for testing and reporting which requires that we send the water samples to the lab and get results that may take about 18 hours. These are critical steps to restore water quality and ultimately lift the Boil Water Notice. Granada Hills and Porter Ranch Communities: We’re here to help.

On Tuesday, a valve that controls water flow into the affected communities broke, interrupting service to roughly 9,200 households just as a heatwave gripped the region, with temperatures hitting the high 90s to low 100s. A day after the break, the L.A. Department of Water and Power issued a notice to boil water in parts of Porter Ranch and Granada Hills, advising that failing to do so “could result in stomach or intestinal illness.” By Friday morning, many customers saw their water restored, but DWP urged even those with water in their taps to stop using it. While crews are digging a deep pit to reach and repair the broken valve, others are working to fill and pressurize a large water tank that serves the area. However, the pressure dropped overnight as residents went about their business. “We are very concerned that if people continue to use the water that is coming out of their faucets today, it is going to delay the ability of the [Los Angeles Department of Water and Power] to get the line back and restored, and for your use of water to be back to normal, so that you don’t have to boil water, so that you don’t have to conserve,” L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said during a press conference on Saturday afternoon.
