The VYR Planning Team

[JeffH]

We will get more detailed information posted within the next few weeks.


FYI: Iron Horse 2025 Reservations
For those of you that made their 2025 Room Reservations with the Iron Horse while you were checking out September 2024 I see that Iron Horse is now sending Confirmation emails about the upcoming 2025 Reservations you booked.
Heads UP, Iron Horse is using a new vendor so the email you will get is from 3583 Rolling Thunder LLC at noreply@roomraccoon.com so email is no longer from : Iron Horse

My 2025 Room Reservation Confirmation email and Link to Pay for my Deposit showed up in my email yesterday. EZ, and I paid my Deposit and immediately got a Payment Receipt email in return. So be looking for 3583 Rolling Thunder LLC in your Inbox or Spam folder


For anybody that would like to book a Cabin, Room, Bunkhouse, RV slot or Tent Camping for the VYR Rally (or any other times) you can do that at: www.ironhorsenc.com

Hope you can attend this year ......................

Well we both can attest to the fact that considering we rode out a hurricane it could have been far worse. It beats having to deal with tornadoes, those REALLY suck!

I'm working on GT80 #2 - Getting close but parts are very hard to find..... Not sure this one will come to Vintage Yamaha Rally even if I do get it done. GT80 #1 made it last year and was a lot of fun in the parking lots. Wish I had been able to take it up the Dragon for a photo.




I had to go out and get a haircut this morning so I took out the XS850 Special - Started on the second kick!
Big Earl rode this bike during Vintage Yamaha Rally 2023.....

Runs great and very similar to the XS1100 but a little more nimble.... Unfortunately, when you "Drop the Hammer" you will quickly realize this bike is missing the #4 cylinder the XS1100 came with! - LOL

I need to talk to Mike again about this Tachometer leaking from the head..... Thought I had that fixed but the oil streak on the #2 pipe indicates the problem was never really solved.

Kurt:

I'm about to fix my leaking tach sensor for the second time. Nick had to do it also. I also had to do it on the other XS750 I sold.

Loosen the Allen head screw on the fork holding bracket, and pull the whole sensor out. You will see O-ring on the circumference. The seal is inside the hosing, so you slide out the gear/shaft and pull out the seal...then press in a fresh seal. Easy-peasy. Only have to remove one bolt!

Seal 93104-07036-00
O-ring 93210-15171-00

BUT....seems like you did this already?

PS: I think my e-mails are going in your junk folder???

Thanks. I wonder why the headline changed color in your copy? Also there are coloring artifacts. Here's a better copy in jpeg:



Also, a memory from 2015:

Hi Mike,
I had to convert the .pdf using photoshop. My photoshop is an older version and is likely the cause of the color variation. I'll update "FaKerBook" pages with the new .jpg you provided.

This is the GENERAL DIRECTION I'm headed with the 2025 Shirt Design

[kboehringer]

Here's the final for the 2025 Rally Shirt.

[kboehringer]

Here is the 2025 Vintage Yamaha Rally T-Shirt design!

We tried to do something different. Hopefully, your vintage model is represented on the shirt. Unfortunately, there's not enough printable area to include every Vintage Yamaha Model.

This year we can not offer the "Shopping Basket" on the vintageyamaharally.com web-site. Cost of the page hosting went up dramatically and our very modest account could no longer support the cost. Please place your order as "Friends & Family" to avoid an additional fee charged by PayPal.

Vintage Yamaha Rally is a group of Yamaha enthusiasts & friends sharing the fantastic riding options in the beautiful North Carolina Mountains.

All shirt orders will receive an order confirmation e-mail promptly from Nancy. Please be sure to indicate size & sleeve.

All shirts are pre-purchase. As stated, our modest account can not support purchasing additional shirts that may or may not be purchased at the rally.
