In Kentucky, the art of motorcycle ownership and showmanship is celebrated in the as part of the state's unique Kentucky State HOG Rally. Each year, the Kentucky State HOG Rally is held in a different location, hosted by Harley-Davidson dealerships and motorcycle owners who seek to organize the best experience available for enthusiasts across Kentucky and in the greater southeastern region of the United States. In 2013, that rally looks to grow even bigger, just has it has done every year since its inception.
A Scenic Tour of the Kentucky Countryside for Everyone Who Attends
No motorcycle rally in any part of the country would be complete without a ride through some of that state's most scenic vistas and most challenging motorcycle ridership areas. The same is true of the Kentucky State HOG Rally, which allows its attendees to engage in a scenic ride throughout the rolling hills of the Bluegrass State. Those who attend this statewide rally of Harley-Davidson fans and motorcycle enthusiasts will appreciate a ride through farms and grazing areas for thoroughbreds, smaller towns, and a wealth of other locations.
Best of all, many of the roads used for the Kentucky State HOG Rally's ride through the state are especially "motorcycle friendly." That means they're traditionally lower-traffic roads, with wide traffic lanes and friendly conditions for riders of all experience levels. Some areas are, of course, a bit more challenging, but that's why taking this ride throughout the state is such fun. A few scenic moments, a few challenging riding experiences, and plenty of stories to share with those who didn't make the trip and attend the 2013 version of this growing event.
A Place to Meet and Greet Other Motorcycle Enthusiasts
The Kentucky State HOG Rally isn't just an excuse for bikers to take a scenic ride throughout the rolling hills of this rather rural state. Indeed, it's also a great way for Kentucky's motorcyclists to come together and meet each other, sharing stories and experiences about the road that are easily relatable. This aspect of the rally shouldn't be understated. After all, it's often said that those who don't bike are not able to fully understand bikers, and that's probably true.
Taking to the roads with a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, or any other brand, is a unique decision that requires a certain embrace of risk and adventure. Some people just can't relate to that. At Kentucky State HOG Rally, risk and adventure take center stage, as seasoned veterans of the road meet and greet younger bikers from all over the Bluegrass State. It's a great way to mingle, to learn, and to make new friends with similar interests. It might even lead to a new group of riders who can take trips together and show off as a group, and who wouldn't like that?
Of Course, it isn’t All About the Rolling Hills of the Countryside
Despite its largely rural reputation, and its largely rural reality, Kentucky does have some of the most inviting cities in the southeastern and Midwestern parts of the United States. Louisville, particularly, is a thriving city that invites locals and visitors alike to enjoy an outstanding nightlife and delicious cuisine. The organizers of Kentucky State HOG Rally typically make sure that this thriving metropolis is part of any ride through the state, introducing people to what makes Louisville a key part of the Kentucky Experience.
When combined with the Ohio River area of the state, the Louisville area offers a great experience that is both urban and scenic in nature. This year's event, held in London, Kentucky, offers those who attend the rally an opportunity to coast past the state's second-largest city of Lexington, as well. Attendees of this year's Kentucky State HOG Rally will appreciate the mix between urban, rural, and suburban, and it will present a unique challenge for every bike and biker that makes the trip to this year's event.
Kentucky's Greater Cultural Experiences Abound, Rally or Not
The Kentucky State HOG Rally is a leading reason for bikers to flock to the state in the summer of 2013, and every summer, but it's not the only reason to appreciate Kentucky as a strong tourist destination with plenty of things to offer those who book a trip to the Bluegrass State. As mentioned before, the cities of Louisville and Lexington offer a little something for everyone. From excellent dining experiences to thriving nightlife, Kentucky's cities are able to compete with any large city in the Midwest and beyond. Those cities, though, aren’t the only things that the state has to offer its guests.
The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is a particular area of interest for many visitors, and it's the perfect way to get to know Kentucky's thriving bourbon and whiskey industries. The state produces some of the largest and most well known bourbon and whiskey brands in the country, and offers visitors a way to experience each of those brands. A total of eight major distilleries lie along this so-called "trail," and seven craft distilleries constitute a second list of must-see attractions. Just be sure to bring a designated driver, or designated biker, in the event that a little too much bourbon sampling occurs throughout the day.
