2019 Vintage Yamaha Rally

I really don't want to say anything because I'll jinx it. I've not been posting lately but have been lurking. My Moto Giro obsession has spoiled ALL my XS650 events because so far they have fallen on the exact same days. I'm in for the Spring Giro so there goes the Dogwood but damnit I really would like to do this one. Enough so.....I'm making reservations now. I absolutely LOVE Iron Horse.......been there many times. Haven't talked with Marty in ages so I'm looking forward to it.

Take care......as we've all been reminded of lately......you probably need to go ahead and DO the stuff you've been wanting to do......before you can't.

Marty, Greg told me you were moving......but not where. He and I don't get to see each other often enough. I gota change that. The Giro stuff has been fun but I'm NOT good at it and haven't really felt like I'm fitting in with that crowd. I have made some new friends but it's been a struggle. NOTHING like the XS folks.......you could't ask for better people to hang with (XS folks) and they have made me feel welcome every time I've had the opportunity to join them. I've sent in my request for a room......hope to hear back tomorrow.

Hope you and yours are doing well and Memphis is suiting you.

Wonder if someone else could take up the Dogwood.........I'm kinda missing hosting an event and I already have a three state route mapped out in that area. My daughter and I worked on it one year. Greg and a few of our Brit bike friends rode it one weekend. At the time I was thinking I'd run the Three State Mountain Ride over there but it never panned out and that ride stayed in Blowing Rock.....I walked away from that one after hosting it for 15 years. I sorta miss the mother hen role.

Take care, your friend in NC, Gordon

 

WOO HOO.........I'm IN!!!!!! Just got word back from Iron Horse. They are so friendly and helpful, still has all my information after all these years and they treat you like you're family. Only place around here that even comes close is TWOS. ( The Dogwood Rally spot) We are very lucky to have places like that in business. Yea, I can't wait to try that Prime Rib again.

Happy as a little girl........see ya next fall.......Gordon in NC

Does everyone leave on Sunday or Monday? Are there activities on Sunday? First time attending.

Thanks

Al

 

I've made my reservation...

 

Me too

 

Planning to attend again!

 

I have just reserved accommodation for MaxPete and me. No more drives in the dark to the Tuskegee!
I expect the "mothership" will make another appearance.

 

Yeah - Big Blue on the Dragon!!

 

Could be worse, we did it with the XS's on a trailer behind the motorhome. . The Georgia pylon.

 

Yikes - hell NO!!

 

Got me an electrified tent site! And to quote Pete” hell no”! hope they’re all xs’s beside me! If any chrome, let it be Yamaha chrome! GGGGRRRRROOOOOOWWWWWLLLLL!

 

Can I bring my SR500 along with my XS?
