25th Annual Vintage Yamaha Rally - Stecoah, North Carolina - September 2026

HI XJ Owners,

Rev up your engines and make your plans NOW to attend the Annual Vintage Yamaha Rally in beautiful Stecoah, North Carolina! Nestled in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, this unforgettable gathering draws Vintage Yamaha enthusiasts from across the country—and even from around the world.

What began twenty-five years ago as a meet-up for diehard XS1100 riders has grown into a full celebration of the entire Vintage Yamaha Riders Community. Whether you ride, restore, or simply appreciate Yamaha's legendary machines, you’ll feel right at home among fellow fans who share your passion.
Our host venue, the Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge, offers top-notch accommodations and unbeatable access to some of the most exhilarating mountain roads in the country. Choose from private or semi-private rooms, a bunkhouse, camping and RV sites, or even air-conditioned Conestoga wagons! Plus, enjoy convenient on-site breakfast and dinner options.

This is truly a rider’s rally. Each day, groups of like-minded riders head out on scenic adventures through twisting mountain roads—soak in the camaraderie, the fresh mountain air, and the breathtaking views. Each evening, return to the Iron Horse Lodge for a delicious dinner, campfire conversations, and our special Saturday night awards ceremony.
Don’t miss out—make your plans NOW to join us.

All Vintage Yamaha enthusiasts are welcome, especially XJ Bike Owners!!!

 

XJ Owners Have been well represented at the Vintage Yamaha Rally......

We welcome you to join the fun and fellowship!

 

Even though September may seem far away, it’s not too early to start planning for our upcoming event. In fact, it’s the perfect time.

Rooms and campsites fill up faster than you might expect, and we would hate for anyone to miss out simply because they waited too long to make a reservation. Securing your spot now guarantees you’ll be part of all the fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories we’ll be creating together.

If you’re expecting a tax refund this season, consider setting aside a portion to invest in a great time this September. Experiences and time spent with friends are always worth it!

I’ll be sharing photos of past gatherings so you can see just how much fun we have. And remember — new attendees are always welcome. Invite a friend, bring your family, and join us for a fantastic time.

Don’t wait until rooms and campsites are unavailable — make your reservation now and give yourself something exciting to look forward to!

Time to plan. Time to reserve. Time to have some fun in September!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

 

This would be incredible to go to, but it's 1,100 miles away from me D: Maybe if I can somehow make it into a multi day trip i suppose, or maybe camp out overnight?

Nice, Wisconsin has their vintage ride this weekend (Sep 22) in Ontario WI. Looking for to maybe riding the 83 XJ900 on the rally.
