Hotel UpDate:

The least expensive rooms I have been able to find are at the Best Western Anderson Pea Soup.  If we book 10 plus rooms they are $94 dollars a night.  I told them that most of the rooms would be Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 2.  Let me know how this sounds, so that I can get with Glen and have a block set aside.

I am a definate Maybe!
Still workin' on my heads, but should be done by April fools day!

[glennw]

Please hold off on booking rooms until I go up there on Sunday....  I'm trying to get one in walking distance to the eating spots...
Thanks
Glenn

My reservation is confirmed for 3/31-4/2.

Matt & I went for a quick road-test yesterday, he on his '83, and me on Ryan's '82. Besides some dirt and grime, his bike is ready to go. Ryan's bike seems to have a self-centering feature to the steering, so I'll be replacing the steering head bearings this month. I may was well transplant one of the '83 front ends that I have while I'm at it.? :-\

There's always somethin'...

Greg

Besides some dirt and grime, his bike is ready to go.

Does this mean there will be some competition for "Most Patina'd Vision?"

Brian

[glennw]

Brian...
How about we call it "best original (un-washed) paint"? ;)

[Lucky]

Brian, i've never met you, but i've got this picture of "Pig Pen" from Peanuts, on a Vision in my head. dust cloud & all, lol... ;D

[Extent]

How did I miss this post?  I will certainly try and be there, I wouldn't want to mis two in a row!

[Ron_McCoy]

Brian, you'll always be tops, patina-wise, to us.

We're reserved and confirmed. 

Ron

[glennw]

CROV....and  Any & All California Vision Riders...Help!!!

:D

Hmm the toronto guys got me thinking.  Santa Maria is only 35 miles from Solvang.   Central Coast Yamaha is in Santa Maria.  A bunch of visions pulling up to get some ridiculous part might actually be amusing...

It is April 1st after all....    ;D

[glennw]

The guys at the local Yamaha / Suzuki laughed at me when I asked them how much they wanted to adjust the valves on my Vision. Then the proceeded to tell me to "get rid of that pile of junk" and buy a good bike...I kid you not?? >:(
They are 3 miles from my house. :-\? Now all my Yamaha parts come from a dealer in PA. ;)

And when I bought the new DRZ I drove 55 miles to another Honda /Suzuki dealer to get it... ;)
I went back with DRZ that had the paper plates from the out of town dealer and parked it in front while I went in and tried on some dirt bike gear to see what I liked and then went home ordered it off the web..... ;D

F'em! ::)

[Tiger]

 :) Went into a Yamaha dealer on Friday and asked for "an air filter element for an '82 Yamaha XZ550 Vision" after 2 or 3 minutes of farting around on the computer he looked up and said-----------------------"Is that a bike or? ???". I kidyou not.What the hell was he doing in a parts department at a main dealers. I will be interested to see if I get a reply to my e-mail? ???.(See---Ontario spring ride).

SWEET!!!

Rebuild is done! 

Blackie has been down since Sept. (80k checkup, Cylinders, pistons, and heads!) and I finally got her done!  Put the engine back in the frame, hooked up some carbs & electrical..... she started up fast, and purred like a really big, really mean kitten!

I have been upgraded from Definate maybe to DEFINATELY!

See you guys there!

[Lucky]

I walk into my Yamaha dealer like i ride what everyone wishes they had, & that's how i order parts.  my parts guys wondered why i thought it was so interesting & all have asked to see it (parts dept is upstairs & no windows)

Yeah, they didn't know what it was at first, lol but they know now.  ;D
