Hi Bob,
Glad you made it over here! After the power wash, she's looking much
better. With patina like that, I wouldn't dare repaint it. Give it a
mechanical refresh, a good waxing, and go for a ride :>

I've been told by about 20 people that I need to get myself on this list. Here's the short version of the story. I've got a V7. It was sitting in a shed. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48077947@N00/archives/date-taken/2005/08/10/) It belongs to my father in law. He told me, "it's yours if you want it!" I wanted it. It's mine. It's now in my garage and off the trailer it's been on for over 10 years. I've knocked the top layer of dust off it (photos from today: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48077947@N00/archives/date-taken/2005/08/14/) and I'm anxious to get started on something meaningful. I'm trying to prepare myself to crack her open and check the cylnder walls this week. It'll probably be the most major thing I've done mechanically. I've got manuals and patience. Wish me luck. -- Bob |
