The V7 Sport


My motorcycles currently include a '71 Triumph Bonneville, a '74 BMW R90 /6, a '75 Yamaha RD350 (owned since new) and a '74 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport. While I love them all, the Guzzi holds a special place in my heart, even though (or perhaps because) it is in pieces, and I have never seen it put together, much less ridden it. It is a major restoration project. So far, the wheels, brakes, forks, frame and transmission are done. The motor is completely torn down, and awaiting an influx of cash, energy and time.

I am working on another Triumph project which is little beyond the drawing board. It is a race replica. I am also interested in learning about methanol as a bike fuel. Any old racers out there with some knowledge? I am interested in some starting points for jetting and timing, etc. Send me an e-mail.
