 say Ken, can we donate
and get a sticker?... need something that drives home
the point...I keep a copy of the LSRecord certificate
in the window of my V700 tank bag...really confuses
people, they think this bike did the
record...hehhehhehhehhehheh....wow, we are
competitive! all be danged...again...is there any
classes were the legendary V7 Sport can shine?

I have entertained the idea of a T shirt or sticker in the past, but not
being motivated for self promotion, the idea died out pretty quickly.

The V7 Sport can run in a few classes, "Sportsman 750", "Formula 750" &
"Formula Vintage". My Loopframe racer could run in these classes as well but the
Tonti frame would be a much better choice. When I bumped out of the production
class I chose to run my Loopframe in BEARS (British, European, American,
Racing Series) because the cut off date of manufacture does not allow the Tonti
frame V7 Sport. Moto Guzzi has done well in AHRMA & WERA competition. This season
Charlie Cole won the AHRMA Formula Vintage championship. Last season Dave
Folkerson riding a MG Cycle bike won Formula 750 & Formula Vintage championships.
A few years ago Steve Vonborstel (sp?) riding a Sport Cycles sponsored bike
won 3 nation championships, 2 in WERA & 1 in AHRMA.
