XS Southeast 2018 Discussion

[dpotter58]

I'm not going to make it to the XS SE this year. There's a room open now...

[madmax-im]

Ben, I think SwampThing will be close to ready if not fully ready by then. Assuming everything works out with DuWayne, SwampThing could be Kurt's project bike for this rally

I guess at this point it aint gonna happen...

You'll always be welcome no matter what you're riding!

Thanks! (giant cheesy grin)

Marty, the chrome crowd has switched to the blacked-out crowd.

Thats not much left..so in essence we have the place for ourselves...that has to be a first...

(puzzled look) I have no idea what's up with that. I don't like it myself but the chrome parts are less expensive than the same parts in gloss or matte black.
Go figure.

Other drivers have enough problems seeing bikes so I try to be MORE VISIBLE when I'm riding, not INVISIBLE!

Time is up. The resort is open to all on our weekend. Here's what's left.

6 bunkhouse beds, 4 electric tent sites and plenty of primitive camping.

Get it before the chrome crowd does!

Room Reservations Update

Just a quick update on the Iron Horse room reservations. Our exclusive reservations block ends March 15. After March 15th the Iron Horse will begin taking reservations for any remaining available accommodations from the non-vintage Yamaha general public.

Even if you are planning to stay in the Bunkhouse or Camp you should get with the I-H before March 15 to reserve and ensure you have a spot.

fyi:
Cabins are Sold Out
RV parking is Sold Out

What is still available as of Feb 23 is:
7 Bunkhouse Beds $30 a night
4 campsites with electric $25 a night +$5 each for extra people
15+ campsites $20 a night + $5 each for extra people

Also available are three of the Efficiencies. So get a buddy and split the cost. They are $300 a night. Each are setup differently with sleeper sofa and roll away so you'd need to ask about which efficiency would meet your needs.

FIVE WEEK ROOM RESERVATION COUNTDOWN

Just a reminder, if you plan on attending the XSSE Vintage Yamaha Rally in September (9/28 to 10/1) and want a bed, make sure to call the Iron Horse and book a cabin or bunkhouse. After March 15, it might be too late.

https://www.vintageyamaharally.com

Our Rally planning team (Mike, Mike, Paul, Kurt, Nancy, Brent, Marty, Peter and Jeff) is conferring Monthly (actually every two weeks at this point) to plan and organize a fun Rally for 2018.

Two things we wanted to advise are:
> Book with Iron Horse by March 15th or after that it is highly likely that all that will be available is dirt to pitch a tent. Tent spot is great if you want to camp but if you prefer a bed, book by Mar 15th. As always, if your plans change you can cancel your reservation up till July 20th.
> Also RSVP on the vintageyamaharally.com web page so we can get a headcount

Having an accurate headcount via RSVP will be extremely helpful as the Rally Planning Team continues to prepare for the Rally. If you are staying at the Tuskeegee or some other location and participating in the Rally please RSVP on the Rally web page since we need a total count of attendees. If you are camping, RSVP. That would help us out a bunch ......... Please RSVP if you haven't

If you've been to XSSE before you know the drill
If you've never been and are thinking about it, Welcome, it is a fun time

Thanks,
Jeff and Mike, Mike, Paul, Kurt, Nancy, Brent, Marty, Peter

Vintage Yamaha Rally has been updated. Let me know what you think.

I also posted the following on FB for your consideration.

Dear friends of XSSE and VYR, We have added a donate button at www.vintageyamaharally.com to enable making small donations via PayPal, if you are so inclined. Please consider a small donation to help cover keeping our website, flyers, business cards and the rally going. A small group of us XSSE organizers have been putting on this rally at our own expense for a number of years and some help in keeping this going would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I know the feeling!

At Kremmling it was walking across the sharp and insanely loud and crunchy gravel in the middle of the night that was fun. At the Iron Horse there were two rooms with a shared bath so one person would get up and that'd start a late night geezer chain.

You went to the shower house?...

LOL, “Geezer chain” is hilarious!

[3Phase]

I was counting myself amongst the geezers.
