2024 Yamaha XS650 Society Inaugural Westby WI Rally. Sept 8th though Friday Sept 13th
- Thread starter Kevin Werner
- Start date
Dan joined us today and we had a fabulous ride on county and township roads. Lots of curvy and twisty roads like the Ozarks rides. Not quite the elevation changes of the Ozarks but still plenty of ear popping. What the Ozarks lacks is Amish buggies drawn by a trotting horse carrying family down the road to friends or market or whatever. Dan is relatively new to XS650 but has lots of previous experience. We encouraged him to sign on here, he caught my Rally post on a XS650 FB page. Don Lawson's SIL was here riding with his wife and we met and chatted for a bit. I led for riding a little today and at on stop decided "2nd right" is the next road. "Dutchman's Pass" or something like that was rolling and curving and climbing and dropping for miles. I did not lead into "dead end" roads today. Seems you cannot turn onto a boring road here. Every town or village has a Bar & Grill for a lunch stop. Some of the pavement is a little rough but mostly very good. I hope we can find a slot to make this work next year. We did not stop often enough for pics but did get this coming through "Dutchmans Pass" right after riding through a tunnel of trees uphill.
JP rode 800 miles to the event and he says it's a go... Nuff said.
No doubt another rally there is a no brainier. If Ben brings more "Honey" I may not have a brain afterwords.
Problem is not stepping on toes for other scheduled events. I am not good at politics in this situation as there is an established rally near or on these dates. I am not good at navigating these waters and I have navigated boats for 50 years.... Other problem is getting @desmoman900 to bring the "Society" banner...
We talked about it. I'm sure the date can be worked out.
Just say'n
Man, that Harley is just beautiful...they really nailed the retro look on that one. Alas, my heart belongs to my 02 Road King, if not I'd be hunting for one of these to put in my stable.

I think the bike is saveable. I'm surprised Gary doesn't doesn't ride over there and talk hem out of it.

In Westby the gas station / convenience store was handy and if we stay at a place that has a restaurant they might not want us grilling outside
