    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

My story (this isn’t meant to sway the voting) started October 5 1981 when a Chrysler Newport ran me over on my RD400G (fun bike). I spent the next several months researching the new middleweights, Seca 550, Kawasaki GPZ550, Yamaha RD350LC (which I bought after the Vision and still have). I picked the GPZ and put a $100 deposit on one. In February the 550 Vision arrived and I thought it was the greatest looking machine ever and had to have it. I lost the deposit on the Kawasaki and paid a lot more money to have the Vision. Maybe you know how that turned out? Frame made from a lawn chair, the dreaded Vision Stumble. The electrical problems. I bought it for $3400 and sold it for $1200 one year later as they were heavily discounted in 1983. I then bought my ‘83 GS750E which was so much better and faster it was crazy! I loved that bike and is why I joined here.
It wasn’t all bad, the Ladies Loved the Vision.

I think that some point most of us fell in love with a bike that was all show and not so much go...........
 
Your not alone for the love for the 550 Vision. I never did own one, but I remember when they come out... My junior/senior year in high-school.
By this time, I owned the basement of our house. I had posters, magazine pictures all over the walls! I was a big Yamaha fan!
I thought the 550 Vision looked so modern... And it did!
