Vintage Yamaha Rally 2017

2017 Vintage Yamaha Rally (XS Southeast) will be held at the Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge on 22 through 25 September.

If you were a guest for the 2016 event, they give you 30 days from checkout to claim the same space for next year. The rest of the resort is saved for our event until about 15 January. If you reserve now, they don't hit your credit card until 60 days from the event.

We're still working on the details for the '17 event. We have a few months to put it all together, but trust we are already working on it. We're encouraging vintage Yamaha riders to join in the fun.

This is a great opportunity for like minded vintage Yamaha enthusiasts to get together for riding and fellowship.



Save the date! No time like the present for making your reservation.

 

XJ folks make plans to attend, There are private rooms, bunk houses and camping. Whatever you choose you will have a great time.
Pictured above are my riding buddies me(Mark), Mike, Paul, Tony and Jim at Bald River Falls in the Cherokee national forest in TN. They are all vintage bike riders. The second pic is the best Seca I have seen in many years.
If you are in the Raleigh NC area I can help you with hauling your bike and gear if needed. XJ and XS riders come in from all over, some travel over 1000 miles to attend. Its well worth the trip.

Thanks again to Len for donating door prizes. I'll have my new rotors on soon. Mikes XS also donated prizes.

This is a no fee rally. Just show up on your vintage Yamaha. Yes, it would be nice to let us know you're coming, but not required. (do that here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1229500693755146/) Contact the Iron Horse directly to make your reservation. If you procrastinate you'll have to plan on bringing your tent. Rooms will go quickly. That is why I'm posting now.

I hope to see a lot of XJ's in September.

 

On the Dragon with a 700X.

 

I ride up to Tellico quite often, so though I'm new to the community and just now building my bike, I may have to make plans to ride up.

 

Hope you can make it. We rode through Tellico to have lunch in Englewood last year. Rode the skyway back to the Iron horse lodge.

 

Now is the best time to take the first step. Make your reservation at the Iron Horse. Over 60 days out, you may cancel without penalty. If you procrastinate, the options will be sleeping on the ground or in a hotel/motel five or more miles away. I fully expect the place to fill up well in advance of the rally.

 

Merry Christmas! It's time to think about 2017. We have the resort reserved for a couple more weeks. After that, the general public has access. I'd like nothing better than to see nothing, but vintage Yamaha enthusiasts at the Iron Horse during our event. I don't want to see a Harley or a BMW unless you rode it in! Let's fill the place up.

Facebookers, feel free to sign on https://www.facebook.com/events/1229500693755146/ Help us get a head count.

I really would like to attend this event.
Been 4 wheelin in the Smokey Mountains and drove on a small part of the tail. Ever since I have wanted to bring my bike down from Canada to ride the whole route.
I don't use facebook so will continue to check in here for updates.

 

I just responded to a Canadian on XS650.com. There will be a bunch of you. I'll help put y'all together as I am able. If you want a bed, it's time to make that reservation. This will be your first of many visits.

We're getting down to slim pickings on the lodging. There's always plenty of room for tenting.

 

With all the XJ bikes that sowed up at the latest events, I was hoping some of you would chime in.

 

I may not make it down afterall but I passed on the info to a friend of mine .
He and his buddy already made a reservation and will be attending.
With any luck I will be there too. Perhaps in a tent.

 

There's always room for a tent. I hope you make it!

 

Posted today at XS650.com:

Just made my reservations at Iron Horse. Spoke with "Charity". Very nice young lady. Anyway, she advised all semi-private rooms booked, a couple of 110 volt tent/trailer sites available, 2 efficiency private rooms available @ $119.95 per night, the Old Homestead Cabin available, and primitive tent/trailer sites still available. Not sure about large 30/50 amp RV sites. She will let me know on those. Don't get left out!
