I couldn't go to Sturgis but we did do a short 700 mile ride this past weekend.
Started in Cincinnati, Ohio. We took 25a south out of Northern, Ky all the way down Friday night. Woke up Saturday and visited every marina on the lake. for those that do not know, Cumberland is one of the biggest lakes in the country, and i think the biggest man made lake east of the Mississippi. It covers 1200 miles of shore line with an average depth over 100 ft. I took a few pictures along the way.

 

We started the first night sleeping on my buddy's boat, then made our way to my lake house on the other side for Saturday night.

 

I picked up a new luggage carrier on my way back home, already painted to match.. Couldn't resist.

 

We found a really good BBQ place along the way, located right on the KY river.
Great food and people. I will make a trip back to hang out when i can party with the locals. It is called Proud Mary's BBQ.

The last picture was hours after the bikes were parked, you can tell by my eye's it was also after many cold ones.

 

nice pix. Looks like a good time.

Never seen an additional luggage carrier like that b4. Who makes those/where do you get them???

 

So much green! Everything around here is getting that usual late summer burned up grey/brown color. Looks like you had a great ride! Really like your new addition, that could come in real handy.

 

We have had tons of rain this year, It messes up my boating for weeks after with all of the debris that ends up n the lakes and rivers, that is one of the reasons we decided to do this trip.. It has kept everything green but i am done with rain for the year.

 

There is no brand on it, I will call and ask the guy i got it from.
