I bought another bike

#1 Unread post by storysunfolding »

I saw another Yamaha Vision for sale so I asked how much he wanted. He wanted $100. It seemed like the perfect price.

Granted I need to fix the sport fairing and repaint that and the tank, clean the carbs, do a few various other things... but who could turn this down for $100?

Now I just need to convince the g/f to ride them with me...

Good score! It was obviously garage kept. No visible rust, paint, seat and chrome look really good. Looks like an easy fixer upper.

Don't forget to take a good look at the tires. Just about every bike I ever resurrected had dried up rubber with great looking tread.

I'm in Annandale

I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes. I hope to have her running by the end of the day.
