I will be passing the 60,000 kilometer mark today and plan on putting many more on.I think it was april where I passed the 50,000 mark and am well on my way to 100,000.

Right on bro.  I'll be racking up mileage next year as well.  I estimate about 15,000 Kms or so per year.  I do about 65 kms/day just to commute back and forth for work.
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!

 :) We put some more miles on today buddy, eh!!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

 :) ...and you my friend. It was also pleasing to have Lou and Jul's riding with us today...Three Visions, all two up, scooting along the highways and byways of Ontario on a warm fall day...magic 8)

It was amazing.I felt so much pride with our 3 visions roaring down the road with our better halfs on the back of each one.That would be a great commercial for Yamaha.

I actually contacted Yamaha and told them this would make a great commercial.Seeing many visions rolling down the street with some of our partners on the back shows good family fun and a true test of yamaha.Pretty much a thirty year old bike still bringing pleasure to it's owners.Consumers want products that last and what better way to show that then many visions rolling down the street?Of course I didn't tell them anything about the many different owners or the many gremlins but it will be interesting to see if I get a response.

Re-Vision

What do you think Yamaha would build if they made an updated retro Vision?  Went to a Yamaha dealer Sat. and saw some nice bikes (Suzuki and Yamaha) , nothing grabbed my attention like the Vision did in 82.  BDC

I'm not sure but there is so many different styles to choose from.
