Tdub, I share your overwhelming feeling of joy!

Or something along those lines. I think I understand how much work goes into making a machine perform better than it should, so congrats! Carpe Diem.

I just saw the results.  Robbie finished 9th.   That was out of a field of better than 40 entries.  It just keeps getting better and better.  Someday a podium.

Congratulations  to you, Tdub, Robbie, Babe, Memphis Shades and the whole team.

We re all pulling for you.  Keep on tuning.

H2O
If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

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!!!

What is the rear end off on the Vision race bike? Does it still run a monoshock? can't really see in the pics. I have this Vision (pun) of using one of my spares bikes with the blown motor and putting another Yamaha V twin in it. Prob an XV750/920. I'd need to convert the rear end however and do the chain drive thing.  There are prob better motors to use but the XV's are at least still Yamaha's and seem fairly rugged - apart from the starter gears.

Why in the world would you want to swap an XZ for an XV??? IMO that's a downgrade. Tdub
