[mastan]

I just booked the last semi-private cabin. Bunk house and the big house is still available.

For those who are waiting or have already waited too long to get a room, there is alternate lodging up the road at the Tuskeegee Motel. Reports are that it's a nice place. The Iron Horse has plenty of room to set up a tent.





We are shaping up to have the most well attended rally in our history. Come and be part of it.

I believe we're down to very few rooms remaining. Get 'em before they're gone!

Definitely a good meeting. Lots of nice looking XS11s in attendance. No doubt that XSSE 2016 will be another great rally.

Brent - You really did some fine work on your bike. All of the aluminum looks brand new! Good job.

Thanks for compliment Mike. That is high praise coming from an award winning bike owner. I was in contention for a new award for "Polished RAT", but Marty got me set up with the new to me black tank, So now it may not even look Rat bike.

Suggestions for new awards are being sought now.

PS being a Riders rally, the Ride All the Time - RAT award for most ridden, least washed is a High Honor, a blue ribbon or rag.

Meeting

Lots of y'all have already made your Reservations at the Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge in Stecoah NC.
So it is time for us to begin some Southeast Rally planning.
You know, the usual stuff. Shirt, Routes, Awards Ceremony, etc.




Kurt, Marty, Mike, Brent & I met today to get Rally things rolling. Plus we had a good time.
+ a nice bunch of 11's

If you think you might want to attend the XS Rally and want a cabin (or accommodation) at the Iron Horse
please book now for our Sept 23-24-25 weekend.

This will be our first year. Is there any kind of a "meet and greet"? We really hope to meet some of the people on the site. I lived in NC for 23 years, and am really looking forward to riding the area around Deals Gap again. Our reservations have been made for some time. SWMBO knows we are going on vacation, but has no clue what we are doing, or where we are going. The fact that a couple of the ponies will be going with us will come as no surprise! Heading to Maggie valley for the following week. I have a daughter and two grandchildren in Asheville, so we will have plenty to keep us busy.

Yes the whole rally is meet and greet...IMHO this is the best XS1100 rally in N. America...

I've only missed one XSSE rally since the 2010 rally(last year at TWO)...and divine intervention kept me from coming last year...

Looks like i will make it this year...will attempt to at any rate...hoping to trailer up with Mark and his 24' enclosed...insulated trailer...that can be used to sleep in as well...would definitely cut the expenses down a tad...

Ben, you are about as decisive as a roulette wheel.

XS Southeast is the greatest rally I've ever been to so far. 3 years in a row. Messed up the second one and spent a month in the Ashville hospital one week. . Haven't been there since 2014 though.

Don't worry, you'll meet a LOT of the people on here.

Meet n' Greet the XSives, yep. That's what it's all about.

Some fellowship and some riding on great roads. All Friday from about 2pm onwards it's Meet & Greet as people check-in at Iron Horse to get their room then check-in at XS table to sign-in and get info and schedule and shirt (if they ordered one). After that is done its hours of talking and looking at bikes.

Friday after dinner we all get together for a Riders Meeting and safety talk. Then Saturday night we have histerical funny Awards Ceremony. Meals are Meet & Greet too both at Iron Horse and restaurant stops & gas stops. Lots of opportunity to talk with the many many XS people that also are here on .com

WELCOME, we look forward to meeting you and your family. After dinner each evening we congregate outside around the fire pit and enjoy stories too.
