The V7 MW Participation Award

More progress has been made. New steering bearings, forks, bars, throttle, R6 master, wheel and clutch lever installed.

 

I just took a quick spin through all of the V7MW results so far and it looks like we have about 37 entries in the give away so far. It looks like there are only about half a dozen seperate racers, so the odds are pretty good for somebody. There are still lots of upcoming events, so you had better get after it and enter V7MW!!!
Check the results at Wera.com and see where you are.

 

Bump

 

@kenessex and I are working on tallying up the total number of entries, finalizing the build over the off season AND more importantly logistics for the giveaway come the new season!

 

Here are the entries as I currently have it figured. If I have missed something, please let me know either privately or post it here. I have just pulled these from the WERA site points.

We had a total of entrants and 68 entries, so you can figure your odds of being the winner.
Again, let me know if I missed a rider or entry so I can make the changes.
Mark and I are looking for the best opportunity to have te drawing and deliver the bike. We are thinking that either VMD or Cycle Jam will have the biggest crowds so we can have the most fun, but are open to suggestions, so post them up. Mark will be posting more pictures soon as he now has the bike taking up space in his garage. I believe the plastics are off to paint at the moment.

 

Maybe I missed it, but who won this?

 

We have not yet had the drawing. We are looking for the time to get it finished and to pick an event where it is likely the winner may be in attendance. The bike is currently getting bodywork fitted and painted. We are tentatively looking at Cycle Jam or VMD as a good venue for this.

 

Is the entry closed or do we still have time?

 

It is closed with the GNF. Neither Mark nor I have another SV sitting around, so somebody else will need to come up with a prize for this year.

 

Well, we really didn’t have this one sitting around. We had a bunch of parts sitting around

 

I would buy some of the “Kinda Superbikey” stickers (at wildly inflated costs) to support your efforts.

Its funny you mention this, I was just thinking about getting some made.

 

Hello All - talking to Ken today and decided we needed to update the giveaway bike progress.

Life has been crazy and with family obligations, limited time and crap weather, finalizing the bike has gone slow over winter. But with the longer days and improving weather the plan is as follows:

(1) I’ve made arrangements to get the bike to a generous anonymous yet extremely skilled motor guy for final sort to make sure it’s running properly etc ( remember this bike is a combination of spares Ken and I had laying around)

(2) finishing up bodywork now that warmer weather will allow that

(3) once these are things are handled, Ken and I will be identifying a date and location for giveaway drawing.

It’s gonna happen and wanted to keep the ‘23 V7MW participants and potential winner up to speed.

 

What he said. I am excited that the anonymous engine guy is going to provide the finishing touches to this bike. As he also noted, we will need to pick a venue to draw the winning name for the bike. Given our location, it will probably need to be in the SE. Do we wait until the GNF? Perhaps MId-Ohio? Cycle Jam?
