There's an annual show we go to, Harley/Biker centric but it's fun to get out and sometimes there's new or used items to fool around with. The show is 80% Harleys but there's other bikes on display. Guy was asking $500 for the little Benelli in the swap meet, no title and the piston was clanking around when turning over. I got his number but nothing will come of it.

Normally I'd ride the H2 to something like this but my wife won't ride on that so I took the FatBoy.

What about the Triumphs, Cushmans, BSA's, Honda and more. Too bad the guy with the Benelli was not a little more reasonable, if it was a few hundred I would have picked it up - but it was rough. Looked to be all there and the tank "seemed" clean and rust free. I watch craigs list just about every week and have not seen it posted - but if I see it and the price is right I might get it.

James - you reading this - you want it?

Thanks for the photos, nice show - the NSU is very interesting case, I did not know it was imported to U.S. as well.
