Spring in Wisconsin
« on: April 06, 2026, 11:35:17 AM »
Tkelly sends these intimations of Spring, outside of one of his known watering holes.







1973 V7 Sport partial resto; 2023 V7 Stone with custom paint; V9 Roamer. The Stone is real stunner, and deserves another posting sometime.

Wisconsin's dreary clime is beginning to deliver, finally.

Roll 'em if you got 'em!

Ok, a little obvious observation here. The newest V7 Sport is a very nice looking bike. But, to my eyes, it’s nowhere as nice as the older V7 Sport.

How about a new V7 Sport Retro: chrome fenders, silver engine/trans etc.

I agree about the newest V7 Sport, but the bike at the bar was instead a custom V7 Stone. Side by side there was no question to me: the custom was more beautiful.

I believe worship of the old V7 Sport is simply a cult.
