Southern California’s only classic motorcycle rally, the STAGECOACH Classic Motorcycle Rally is returning for a second year March 24-26th, 2023. The event will again be held at Stagecoach Trails Resort in Julian, California. This beautiful setting situated between the Laguna Mountains and the Anza-Borrego Desert boasts miles of highways and trails, breathtaking vistas and pleasant riding temperatures.

Dubbed the Motorcycle Rally for the Vintage Inspired, enthusiasts can again look forward to the return of the classic motorcycle rally that focuses on riding and the camaraderie of owning and maintaining classic motorcycles.

Inspired by some of the great vintage motorcycle events like Lake Cachuma, Hansen Dam & San Diego Mods vs. Rockers, this classic-style rally will provide an opportunity for owners, riders and enthusiasts to gather in a unique environment for a weekend of fantastic on and off-road riding, culture and social opportunities for our community. The rally is open to all classic motorcycles and enthusiasts.

The Stagecoach Trails Resort is the perfect venue for a rally with excellent amenities, clean facilities and a friendly & supportive staff. Over 300 camping spots and cabins all with full hook-ups accommodate every level of camper. The mountain village of Julian only 16 miles away offers a wide choice of B & B’s, hotels, lodges and inns.

New to the 2023 STAGECOACH Classic Motorcycle Rally will be the CBS Pavilion. The CBS Pavilion is rally central where the Stagecoach Bike Show presented by JRC Engineering, awards ceremony and very popular drawings will take on a whole new scene. Also new will be The Pondarosa, an exclusive group camping area just for STAGECOACH Rally attendees. In addition, planning for field trials is also under way. Returning to the rally will be Bangers Hot Dog Bar serving up hot wieners all weekend long!

Rally organizers are also seeking interested vendors and sponsors to be a part of the 2023 STAGECOACH Classic Motorcycle Rally. Visit stagecoachrally.com or contact [email protected] for more info.

Thinking about signing up - even though my Triumph ('68 TR6C) won't be ready I can bring a Suzuki (2003 DRZ400S or 2023 V-Strom 650XT). Would that be blasphemy? Anyone have anything to say about this rally? I haven't been able to find any comments from previous attendees. Was last year's event well attended? Worth the trip? I'm mainly interested in making contacts with outfits that might be helpful on my ongoing restoration project of the TR6C - bought it new in Feb. 1969 so I'm kind of attached. I'm in San Diego so it's not far from home, maybe I'll just go for one day - or maybe bring an RV and stay the weekend. Appreciate any suggestions/comments/reviews.

Hope to see you there!

All bikes are indeed welcome, if you cannot bring a British machine
