The big advantage of living on an old FARM. Cars go in the Garage, the Boss’s stuff goes in the Garden Shed, crap goes in the Barn, and bikes go in the Shop........

I’m definitely firing it up and setting the ignition timing and carb sync. Everything is done and ready to make some noise. I may bolt on a set of used pipes and feed it from my remote fuel can as the tank has never been filled and the Honda HM300s have never been smoked....... the real decision will be to appraise, insure, plate and  ride?

As my son pointed out last summer, when I finished my Benelli 750 SEI, it hit the road a few days later and I’ve loving it! So what’s the difference? I have a K1, K3, K4 and added and F0 just recently, that he and I use regularly. Do I really need another ride? That’s the quandary. 

P.S. Over many years, I’ve also collected a K8, K7, and K6. They’re completely restored and standing at the back of the shop. I bought all these bikes when they were trading for a few hundred bucks. And, my wife and I have been riding together forever, currently on a pair of ‘08 KLR650s. Too many bikes?? I don’t think so.

BenelliSEI,

Put some gas in a bottle and take off the headers for all I care. Just fire it so you can tell me it runs!

1. Crap never leaves my barn..... it will explode one day.
2. The photos were for MauiK3. Note the 3’ of white stuf! No sympathy for him.
3. Won’t be firing the K0 until I can open the door! 2 months.
4. The down hill skiing here has never been better!
