    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.

    70's Cycle Worlds

    I had really high hopes for the 550 Vision. I was crushed by a Chrysler Newport on my 1980 Yamaha RD400G and was able to buy anything to replace it. The Vision was $1000 more then the 550 Seca and $1500 more then the new RD350LC, which I did buy and still have.. The RD350LC was way faster and...

    70's Cycle Worlds

    $1973? That's a good deal! Just today I saw the handwritten invoice from February 1982 for a Yamaha XZ550 Vision I bought from H&S Yamaha. It was $3543.00 I was in Grade 12 and worked at the KFC. That was a lot of KFC dollars! The 550 Vision was groundbreaking until March when the Kawasaki...

    70's Cycle Worlds

    The online issues are not as good as the real thing but provide excellent reading. You can google a model you remember, "1974 Kawasaki 900 Z1 Cycle World test" and the issue will come up. I just read about it (it was groundbreaking at the time) and also the Kawasaki 750 H2 which did a 12.89 1/4...

    I found a 1983 GS750ED

    I am envious Trevor. I too had a GS750E new from Mcbrides when I was 18. I put over 100k on it and loved all of it. I still think it is one of the best looking bikes around and one day will find a silver one. I will be interested to hear your ride report. I recall it being a hard accelerating...

    My little attempt at escaping the heat

    If you make it to the Soo Canada you can see the Locks and the Boardwalk along the river is quite peaceful. For rides you can take 2nd Line west until it ends at Lake Superior in the Hamlet of Gros Cap, approx 40 min ride. If you have time head Hwy 17 North to Wawa. The road follows Lake...
