As you point out, lots of lawyers, MD's and Dentists, I'd guess, with a couple days beard growth, and a fancy bike. On the other hand, my nephew, a factory worker, and his wife had been trying and trying to have kids, and had given up. So they got on the Harley and rode from KC, MO. to Sturgis, camped out for the week, and came back PG. They now have two lovely daughters, but I think he sold the bike.
