Not sure, going to check on it this week. Guy is 93 years old, builds bi-planes and has a bunch of old bikes in a barn. He mentioned the Benelli's (two, one for parts) which sparked my interest. I'd be happy just to check out his collection and hear some tales...

Thanks Johnny for putting up the photos!!!

The before photo is the way I got it sitting in the guys back yard.
It's a Benelli 125 Sprite 5 speed. After approx. 40-60 hours of work it came alive nicely!! Having a bit of a problem with the timing and points but I'll get it!! I need a special puller to get the mag off and that's where the points etc are.

Prep your giro rides and get ready for one heck of a GREAT time.
IT"S A BLAST!!!!!!!

How about that. I had a Gilera just like that one. Wish I still had pictures.

Johnnie B....you rock! That pipe looks great and sounds awesome!! Watch out fellow Giro riders<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

 

[jbranson]

Kerrie...glad you like it. Hope it runs well. I screwed around with mine for about a week trying to get it to run right.....discovered a carb problem...DOH... I thought it was the pipes.

How does it run with just the three disks in it? I added another to mine...kinda loud though, don't know if the extra disk made a difference in power or not.

Frank got them all hooked up ok?

Yes, Dad and a friend (Bob- he and his wife will be there this weekend). It was good practice for my dad as he had to use his right hand a lot.

It is loud, but I like it. Sounds like a race bike! I did not ride it as they finished it at 11 last night. Really, I don't have much to compare it to so it will probably be fine to me.
