Yes, I'll be there and we already have about 10 other members confirmed!
Hi desmoman it sounds like a fun time.
I guess just about anyone can come and ride? Do you have to be a Society member to ride with the group for the weekend?
Or is riding a XS650 the only requirement? Meaning I'm not showing up on the road couch, crotch rocket, beemer, goose or adventure bike but an xs650 in whatever configuration it may be. Chopper, bobber, tracker, street warrior or heaven forbid a stocker?
Other members of this forum (in the past) have expressed an interest in riding with other XS650's, this may be their chance.
Understandably they wouldn't be privy to room or other discounts offered to the Society members. But to meet up and ride?
How bout it? gggGary, grizld1, 5twins, punkskalar, Gordan in NC? jetmechmarty will you be healed in time? I know you(Marty) have plans for the next weekend with the XS1100 group.
Is anyone from MO riding over? It is less than 700 miles(one way).
I'm still mulling it over but leaning towards applying some of the lessons from Gordon's camping thread.
The little bride already rolled her eyes and that is the same as a yes.

Sooo are you and/or JP going?
Aw, come on, Gary, that bagger is just the thing for a brisk run down 129--ask any Hardly Ableson rider in North America, you'll see at least half of them at Deal's Gap! WR, my reservation's booked, hope to see you there.
BWHAHAHAHAHA I can appreciate that
Two things you will find when you get back on the XS?
It will seem so light.
The seat will seem soooo hard.
Enjoy your trip, wish I could ride with you.
I am planning to attend. I'll be staying at the Tally-Ho
I've been to this thing quite a few times. I believe I've been a time or two when no one was riding an XS650. I don't think you get run off for not being a Society member either. That being said, the Society can only get better if people join and participate. So, feel free to join up! I also encourage those who have one to bring their XS650 although it is not required. It's been a while since I brought mine. Perhaps I'll ride it up this time.

Anyone want to split a deluxe room? I will be by myself and the room has two beds.
I checked into tent/primitive camping locally there and the rates are $30-45 a night.
No free camping available.

Bump to the top.
Still looking to share room costs.

Yamaha 650 Society is on FB. Maybe you can find someone there. I'll see you in Townsend. I'm already sharing.
Thanks Marty, I'm not a FB member.

Jackets and rain gear?

In Paducah a light check says NO tail or brake light. Taking the lense off I found the bulb (superbrights led) laying in the lense.
Fitting it back and wiggling the nubs will slip out. SHITZEN!!! OK now to put some serious jury rigging on it. I got a catsup squeeze pack. Tore it into strips. Two thin strips placed over the nubs and inserted it seems to hold. . . I intended to make Nashville at least but I've pooped out. Time for a shower and stiff drink. Will give it a go tomorrow.
