Hey, im new here and i just bought a 82 vision. Needs the carbs cleaned and fork seals. I'm going to ride the bike to school everyday. I dont really have any bike experience, just cars, as i have a 1969 plymouth barracuda as a project.......I will upload pics later on.


thanks

Any old bike will need TLC to be reliable, but many aren't worth the trouble. The Vision is.

And I garante that you will most likely be the ONLY one in school with such a classic CULT bike.  Be ready to give all the babes a ride.  Just ask YellowJacket about his experiences.  ;)
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!

LOL.

Yep, I'm the only one at school and work with the coolest bike.  Chicks dig it.

During the warmer months my Vision is my daily driver.  If youtake care of it after you get all the issues sorted out, it is a very reliable mode of transportation.
