Default Riding with a guitar?
Wondering if (and how) people have ridden with a guitar? We will be riding 2up on an Ultra. We plan to be gone about a week and we may have some campfire time that would go good with some sing alongs.

Since you’re going two-up it’ll be easier than trying to hold it yourself. Although whatever she’s playing would be hard to hear at highway speeds. The radio on the ultra could be a better choice.

What's wrong with just singing by the old campfire?

They make golf club carriers for the rear of the bike. If you want to spend $250+ you can get one of those and attach your guitar to it. Otherwise make your own carrier. I’m in the just get drunk and sing camp

It's been done but ask yourself honestly if anyone but you thinks it's a good idea.
