Everyone will say it's my age, but the 70's & 80's were THE era for bikes and cars.  :stir:

Unreal collection, brings back memories for sure. Have ridden most of those in clip, not the Benelli. Too hard to have a favourite.

I had one, middle piston kept blowing a hole through it, as the timing kept slipping.

Bloody fun bike though.  :cheesy:

380 and 550 were two of the best sounding bikes in the 70's

Dear o dear.  Each to their own I suppose Mike, least it's in boxes & isn't an affront to your eyes everyday as you walk into the garage.

First thing that happened when I bought it - all the 'plastics' other than the sidecovers went straight in the bin.

It'll be good if I ever finish the project.... if I ever start it properly.
