Oh god i want one!!

Ok, I was going to keep this a secret, but I'm working on a Vision Engine, that will be an operating cutaway engine.  i figure the starter will run it at a hundred or so RPM.  I've only started work on it this fall & it got cold out so not a ton has been don yet.

I figure we'll have some sort of 30th anniversary get together in 2012 & I could raffle it off, or offer it as a door prize.  it'll get a glass top so it can serve as a coffee table...

I Liiiiike It! 

I like the idea too of a 30th annivesary get together and then again perhaps in 2013 for the '83's.

I recall seeing somewhere on the web an image of a cut away Vision motor... perhaps from the original launch by Yamaha. Lost to me now.

[fret not]

Lucky, you going to cut up a real motor or fabricate a model?

When I visited with Lucky in October I got to see the engine, it's real.    BDC

it was an 82 motor with a badly seized crank bearing, not a runner, don't worry..
