XSive Rider's @ Iron Horse 2012

And I've fixed my sticking front brakes problem, although it didn't really bother me last year...I rarely use my brakes in the twisties anyways, just engine braking alot!

just wondering JEFF when do we get to see the T-shirts design, and can place orders?

T.C.

No braking last year even in the hairpin curves, YES T.C., I noticed. Not really required even on those challenging roads when you run in 2nd and 3rd gear between 6,000 rpm and Red Line like you were doing! GodZilla Rocks!! Glad you resolved the sticking brakes!

I just got back home from XS North and 4th in NY. I plan to finalize a SE Rally shirt design this week. Will have pricing for Long / Short etc. and hope to be taking orders by next weekend. As Marty indicated, we will post a mockup and have an ordering process setup soon. Will post new thread here -plus- use our facebook page at facebook.com/XSSoutheast.

Folks, if you're on the fence about coming to this rally, now would be a could time to get off and make a reservation. I expect quite a few folks will be staying with TC at the motel. It probably isn't more that a 10 minute ride. There is probably still room at the lodge as well.

Expect to see something on that soon. It will probably come up in a new thread on this forum.

Finally made reservations.

Hey there Folks,

Well, I finally made my reservations at the Tuskeegee Motel, I stayed there the last time, it's only a few miles down the road from the Iron Horse, quaint little place, but no WiFi! The price is only about 1/2 that of the Iron Horse, and they still had rooms availilble for the dates, 2 and 3 beds, possibly some 1 beds. I took a single since I'm going there by myself. But I'm looking forward to seeing many of the Xsives that I've met and ridden with before, as well as hopefully some new faces also!

I, too, trailer, just too many miles for this old back, and I visit my mom in Southern Alabama the week before, then ride up to Ga for a fun filled weekend of twisties before heading back home to flatland Tidewater Virginia!

Here's hoping the gas prices stay reasonable.

Okay, I'll shut up now, just wondering JEFF when do we get to see the T-shirts design, and can place orders?

With much disappointment,I have to cancel XS South this year,my daughter just decided she wanted to go back to collage,and as some of you know,there are expenses we as parent's need to help out with..Hopefully we will be able to make either XS east or XS southeast next year. The good news for anybody wanting a room,one just opened up,private room for Fri. and Sat.

I just started a Facebook page for the rally: http://facebook.com/XSSoutheast

I know a lot of folks that attend are lurkers here, as they began with the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Rally. You're still welcome, on this site, or that one. We look forward to seeing you in Sept.

The Facebook page could use a few photos.

getting old,hey Madmax? join the rest of us. I really don't know how Bob Jones did all thoughs miles on an XS.my old back would not tolerate that anymore.

Will be 60 in Aug but ever since i bought a modern sport tour machine I cant seem to do much riding on the old Maxim and I am increasingly looking at selling my ST1100 and getting a GL1800 Goldwing...now thats a sure sign of an old fart...geez thats kinda scary...LOL

I'm planning on trailering mine up there Ben. I can save you a space for yours if you need. So far plans are to leave Friday and come back Monday. I like a evening to rest before a drive home.
