The rallye draws over 300 people displaying over 150 of the finest vintage motorcycles anywhere in the country. Join us at Diamond Don's Motorsports & RV Park which is just one mile outside of Jefferson, Texas. Participate in Saturday's Field Events, display your bike in Saturday's bike show and ride in the Rolling Concours. Come enjoy a weekend full of great entertainment and fun.
This is a beautiful campground located in the Piney Woods of East Texas. The campground sits on 100 acres and has 50 RV hook ups along with a dump station. There are clean restrooms and free Wi-Fi. The center of the campground has a huge covered pavilion with a stage, sound system, lighting, and a bar with a fridge. The pavilion will be the hub of the rallye where we will have the awards ceremony. A river runs along the western edge of the campground which is also the route for Don’s vintage train that can be boarded in downtown Jefferson. This location has a large central open area that is perfect for our field events and bike show being held on Saturday and for the rolling concours held on Sunday morning. As an added attraction there is a fenced in alligator pit!

This event is open to all street legal motorcycles at least 30-years old.
A certification stop will be required halfway through the ride.
A chase vehicle will be available to pick up any non-finishers.
Upon return, eligible bikes will be parked in an impound area for

No wiping or polishing will be allowed in the impound area. We want to see rare bikes in riding condition, so bugs and dirt from the ride are considered a plus!
