[edit] Black Hills Run

Might or might not be about a fictional event. Google thinks so. --Tagishsimon (talk)

• Comment It might have happened, but was not well documented. I've always wondered about it. If no one can find any information about it, then feel free to delete. --Blizzard1
• Comment All I can find is motorcycle tours with the same name, e.g. as listed in here. A search for +"Black Hills Run" motorcycle. is not encouraging. --Tagishsimon (talk)
• Comment This seems to be a legitimate term amongst Biker types. See [here], [here, here, and here. Note that none these sites are about the "Black Hills Run", but rather casually mention it, as if they expect the reader to know what they mean. My guess is that it is done as an adjunctant to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or is an alternate name for it. (Let me say that it shocks me that that is a red link). That a mention of it is made in Roseanne, is probably the least important thing about it though. Dsmdgold 20:03, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: The Sturgis annual event draws many thousands of motorcyclists to the Black Hills of South Dakota, and might be the single most notable event in the non-racing motorcycle community. Bikers' activity are underrepresented on the Internet and rarely draw online mention more authoritative than the links that Dsmdgold provided. The "Black Hills Run" is most likely a fringe event organized by one club with word-of-mouth publicity; it could have persisted for decades without attaining as much significance as Sturgis. No vote pending documentation. Barno 20:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep BaronLarf's revised version. I hope we can find more documentation on long-past years, but getting one source on the record helps. I don't think the Roseanne mention is WP-worthy, but if others insist it is, there'll be links between articles not otherwise related. Barno 22:56, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The Sturgis, South Dakota article has only a short mention and external link for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I'm going to add that to the Requested Articles page. Barno 20:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I've rewritten the article with what little I can find online. Weak keep --BaronLarf 21:05, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep from me now that it has been revised or possible redirect to and new section in Black Hills --Tagishsimon (talk)
• STRONG keep, just to be difficult. It sounds like a legit locale name. I can imagine worse uses of wikispace. Asriel86 06:04, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
