I made it home in 1 day, 675 miles. I just want to say as a rookie for the XSSE rally I felt at home with every one I meet. Don I hope you did not get caught in the big storm coming out of the Gulf.

We just got home this evening after a week at the Iron Horse. Gino is a friend of mine , he wanted to come and ride with us. He was daydreaming on Hwy28 as we were turning at the Stecoah Diner and hit the brakes too hard and lost the bike. He suffered 4 broken ribs , dislocated shoulder and a small lung puncture, also got a helicopter ride to UT medical in Knoxville TN. He was in the hospital till Tuesday then another friend took him home.
Minimal damage to his bike, scuffed crash bar, mirror and rear turn signal. Bent the tach mount and headlight bucket.

Great news! I hope he'll join us again next year!

Mark,

Glad Gino is better. Sounds like he will be ok in due time.

Who is Gino (screen name) and what happened to him? Was there a wreck during the rally or after on way home?

Next?

Yet another great XSSE. So we got a little wet. "Forget about it"! Glad to see that we have old and new interest each year. Hope the XS650 guys enjoyed themselves.

I appreciate everyone's effort that make this rally happen. Very glad to be a part of it.

Still in Bryson City (20 mins from IH) doing some "house" work. Got the 11s all cleaned up. Headed back to the Atlanta area in the am.

Where to next? Maybe Biketoberfest.

Next ride/event I am looking at is Vintage Days at Barber Motorsports Park October 9-11, 2015.

I left my mon's house today and headed east on I40/81 I exited at Bristol and took 421 up to Mountain City (The Snake), then up to US58 and over the mountains to Danville, VA where I'm spending the night.

I didn't get much rain but I did ride through A LOT of low clouds when still gets you wet. I'm only three hours out from home but I don't have a clear face shield so when the sun goes down, I have to stop.

Tomorrow will be a bit more challenging (and colder) as I ride to Toano.

Well it looks like the XS did well on this trip. Only some minor problems cropped up which are easy to fix (or already fixed). This is a great bike.
