        That's Great .................

        yep, for sure, NO repeats of the failed attempt. 2015 i think it was. Hate when that stuff jumps out and happens.
        Be it cars or semi, both a problem for us bikers.


        Be great if your brother can join you for the ride down & Rally. Extend that big WELCOME to him for us.

          Thanks Jeff. He's flakey, so we'll see.

          My plans are to make the journey on Thursday morning from North of Detroit. Stay with my twin in Charlotte overnight, then make the 6-hour ride into Stecoah by check-in time on Friday. Leave Monday morning.

                        FYI. VYR info is published in Motorcycle Classics Magazine. I believe that's on autopilot. My copy came yesterday and I was happy to see it.

                          Hi Curtis

                          Am I the "Brian" you referenced? If so...

                          The border is closed. If it opens, I will not be going, sadly.

                          Thngs do not look so good in the good ol' USA from my perspective. The level of understanding of this new virus is still quite low. Way too much to learn, just as we did with many illnesses in the past. It seems that mask wearing and distancing is too difficult for some people. I have elderly parents. I would likely have to self isolate for two weeks upon return, and I sure don't want to get it or see someone I love get it because of me.

                          So, as much as I love seeing the gang and riding those roads, it will have to wait.

                          Enjoy!

                            Well Brian, we will miss seeing you but understand your position. Hopefully at some point in the near future someone can come up with some answers.

                                Schedule of Events

                                Of course this year's 19th Annual Vintage Yamaha Rally / XXSE will be a little different with Social Distancing and the NC Mask Requirements.

                                Iron Horse dining room will have limited seating to maintain the social distancing requirement in the dining room. When dining room seating is not available they suggest sitting out front, out back, on the porch, at the campfire seating, on the porch at your cabin, etc.


                                If you want the Schedule of Events

                                Reminder: as always, if you have a Reservation at the Iron Horse they will email you the Menu Choices and instructions a few days before the Rally. Expect that Meals email from Iron Horse by Wed Sept 23rd.
