Hey guys.......

Have finally sold every scrap I have (I think) of these bikes I had...... although I still have a '83 complete fairing mount that I could not sell on ebay for $10 which pretty much blew my mind because they must be impossible to find.

Anybody wants it pay me postage (about$10)  it yours.... goes in the trash thursday 1/4/2008


I sold some muffler pieces to a rider who sent me these photos....

WOW !








Reminds me how timeless this bike was....

Wow.  That is one spectacular looking bike!

I always felt the Vision styling held its own.  I bet there are guys in the parking lot of the bar .. today...   that wonder .... "what the F*ck is THAT??!?!?"

Below is pictures of my bike before I sold it at 900 miles.   Came from the dealer with the luggage bar!  Few mods were:

- high performance fork spring
- volt meter / clock / lights in dash
- built in battery trickle charger
- black engine paint
- mod'ed heat vents
- replaced fuse box
- hardwired RR box

Last Picture it with a friends NEW BMW..........  tell me the Vision looks like an 'old' bike.





That thing kicked ass ......  wish I had used it more. Only dropped it once (guy did illegal u-turn in front of me & wife.... totalled front fork... no major injuries)

Cheers,  Leather

Hey Leather.  Good to see you still hanging around.  A couple years ago I would have jumped on that fairing frame.  It was one reason the YJ never went full fairing.  I just couldn't find all the hardware.

Anyway, heres another "nice" Vision (shameless plug) to add to your photo memory collection.  ;D

All the best to you and fly safe!

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!!!

Tiger -  Oh man.... sorry dude.  I forgot to tell wife this plan and she tossed with garbage this morning. Ha. I'm laughing on the outside but crying on the inside.  As they used to say on Get Smart...... "missed it by ThAt much...."

My PM back to was returned undeliverable at cout***wig@yahoo.com.  Maybe something I screwed up.
