My 1973 V7 Sport is Running

[Travman]

Merry Christmas everyone. Here are two short videos of the first running moments for my V7 Sport. The bike has been dormant for approximately 20 years. It has about 3,500 original miles and has led an indoor life so it came to us in really great condition.

Here is my friend, Martin, starting it for the first time.

Sorry. I guess I don’t know how to post a video. I’m using Imgur. I thought I could post the videos just like I do pictures.

Here is the direct link to the two videos I was trying to show.

Now it's there twice, before it wasn't.  Looks new, wow.

The first one is the instant it started. We did not really expect it to start so perfectly. The next video is a little longer and you can hear the exhaust for a little while longer. In real life the exhaust is a little deeper than in the video.
