Benelli 250 SuperSport

Since I decided the little Honda 100 was great on the back of the van for traveling-but just too small for two people...I started looking for something a bit bigger, but still very light. I found a 1972 Benelli 250 SuperSport. I almost bought one new from the Seattle dealer and had a ‘66 200 Sprite ...

Re: Rode the Sprint today

I have a few of those back in the 70s. Fun bikes.

I (foolishly) bought a 72 Benelli 250 SuperSport- similar engine layout, although very oversquare and I recall the Sprint was undersquare.
We will have to go for a ride with the old beasts when I get it and get it streetable.

Re: Direction of the group and activity's for the next year

I’m not much into group rides for a number of reasons- but meeting at someplace to visit someone’s garage that has interesting bikes/projects sounds pretty fun. Of course, I never seem to make those for one reason or another so perhaps my input is not very valid. I mostly dirt ride, sometimes with m...

Re: A visit to see Brown Maloney's bikes

Wow- no idea that existed. Just down from where I go dirt riding all the time.
It would certainly be neat to see it.

Re: 62 Triumph Bonneville

Good save on the seat.

I learned to do valves with a Souix seat grinder. I don’t recall the valve grind machine brand now.

Re: 62 Triumph Bonneville

A guy I know has a Xanthos 23 (very accurate Lotus 23 duplicate) with a modern engine for sale. It needs assembly. I’d sure like to get it.
But I just plain don’t have the room right now... plus it probably wouldn’t go over very well.

Re: Batteries

AGM is different then Gel. Mostly those are used for stationary applications- and not that many anymore. I would never use one in a motorcycle. AGM works quite well. Back when I was working- we used flooded lead/calcium battery banks. They were huge, heavy and a pain to deal with. BUT they would eas...

Re: Batteries

I tried a Shorai in my KTM 300 dirt bike. It was nice and light (I got the biggest that would fit where the original AGM fit)- but didn’t work for a darn in cold weather. Of course the pre-17 KTM 2-stroke starters were notorious crummy. I didn’t think it was worth it. I ran the original AGM in my Du...

Re: Winter project

Ducati is all done. But I’ve been too busy dirt riding and getting the kitchen remodeled and other stuff to actually go ride it! Sunday was fairly Smokey out in the dirt- but not TOO bad. I don’t think I would even go today. Smoke is awful, I’ve never seen it this bad before here. No likey. Mark
