It was truley a superb time.We got pissed on a ;little but none said a word about that.It is funny that when you are driving in a car you curse about the rain but when you are out riding and having fun it is not even a second thought.These outing are really fantastic.I ride about an hour and a half to Tigers and the same amount home but I love it.Again in a car you curse the length of the trip but not on a bike.Like is always said on her it is the people that make these rides so rewarding.You have jokes and laughs and real friendship which is so hard to find.Thanks for a great day guys and I am up for the next one whenever that is.The sooner the better.

...and a British Motor Cycle Weekly magazine dated 3rd October 1981 with the picture of an '81 U.K. Vision, in Star Silver, (U S '83 spec), on the front page for 50 cents!!!

When I picked up this magazine there where two more old mags laying there, (both Canadian bike mags from '83 & '85)...the guy said "Take them all for a dollar"??..."Sure" said I... ::) 8)

I was looking through these the other day and one...the '83 mag... has a full page Yamaha add' with a Vision in (along with a Virago & a Seca)!! It also has a 1/3 page add (picture & write up) for the '83 Canadian (Red/White) Vision, sadly, in Black 'n White print...but hey!!! Below it, the other 2/3's are/were Canadian Yamaha dealers...mainly in Alberta & British Columbia.

It now resides with Kev10104 and his Red/White '83...a nice piece of nostalgia eh!!!

I love these swap meets...its amazing what you find laying around. In a lot of cases, people have no idea that the piece of "junk" you have in your hand(s) is a Vision part and will virtually give it away to you!!! At the Paris meet in June, I picked up a complete set of Vision carbs ('82) for $3.00!!!

We also found two vendors that have Vision/Vision spares laying around their shops. They didn't bring the "stuff" because they didn't think anyone still rode Visions anymore :o ::) How wrong they can be ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)

That's the beauty of these meets.You can find treasures that are meaningless to others but like a gold mine to us.Thanks for the paper buddy.
