Overstayed your welcome? The previous owner must've not been a biker. If I owned it and sold it to you guys, I'd be offended if you didn't try to make it run in my driveway! In fact I'd tell you "mi casa es su casa" feel free to use all my tools to get it running and I want to help in the process. After I threw some burgers on the grill for us of course.

I’ve been waiting like 50 years for this video. What a way to start off the weekend!

Somehow this video reminds me of my very first motorcycle, a 1968 Hodaka Ace 100 B. It taught me all about maintenance (the factory service book was AMAZING!) and it lasted through 9 years of desert thrills before it was stolen from me. It still breaks my heart that I do not know what happened to it. It led me to a career of working on Harley-Davidsons (pick a brand that breaks down all-the-time if you want to be sucessful). I can only hope that whoever has it now loves that old Hodaka just as much as I did. It never let me down, two top ends and 3 off road crashes and it never stopped working as intended.

My first bike at 11yrs old, I'm 48 now, was a Benelli Hurricane minibike it was powered by a 65cc 2-stroke engine and an automatic transmission that my Grandfather had bought me. My Father then went a bought a Benelli Volcano 180cc so we could ride together. This brought back some good memories, Thank you! ❤

"Should I try this? *Craig realizing it's not his fingers* - Yeah, go for it"

[josephprather]

I like how Craig is working on the bike at the bike shop while Sean is frolicking in the woods.

I have a Benelli in my garage, it's a 1980 900 Sei MkII with only 6400 miles on the clock from new. Benelli built the 900 Sei between 1979 and 1989, only around 1864 were ever produced so they are quite a rare motorcycle today. The Benelli 900 Sei sounds fantastic and it handles like a dream, these machines were overlooked by the motorcycle buying public due to the motors similarity to the Honda CB500 Four with a couple of extra cylinders added. If you can find a six pot Benelli, buy it as they are an appreciating asset and you'll never loose money on it.

Tip for the side-stand spring;

Put pennies/coins between each coil and it spreads the spring, fit it and remove the coins afterwards

Boy does that take me back. My cousin had one... Noisy compared to the rest of the pack, but it pretty much ran all the time. We used to "play" flashlight tag on my other cousin's farm at night with our lights off. Even the person that was "it" could turn off their headlight until they wanted to catch someone. We ended up with so many people playing we even had people on foot... this was a field about 35 acres in size... There were ditches and trees and hedge rows so you could see the brake lights occasionally, put you pretty much had to listen with your engine off, then take off as quickly as possible... lots of low speed crashes, bumps and bruises. great fun too. You guys are the best. Right now I am looking for a rolling chassis like this one to build an EV on.

I love this type of content Shaun. It appeals to us old school riders who like seeing bikes saved.

I love these videos, revive an old bike than ride it super far home. Breathing new life i to a classic is such a cool thing and I highly respect that. Keep the vids coming guys, I love it.

i always get a bad feeling when someone starts a 2 stroke and there is no smoke and with old ones its even worse 😂😂😂

[siraff]

I think this and that Harley you got are my favourite bikes you've had so far. I like all the messing about with the cheap internet ones and the good bikes but the Harley was a great one and when this fired up it reminded me of the sound of my childhood. There is something very special about getting an old, forgotten bike and making it work. It might not be the best but its got soul like most modern bikes just don't.
This reminds me of my old DT when it was more about the fun and adventures than how good the bike was.
Some great feelgood vibes for the weekend from this one.
Thanks guys.

"oh man, you imagine if the handlebars fell off, he'd be so mad at me!" 😂

[janka]

So good! 💥💥💥 For some reason this gave me memories of when i had a 1976 Izh Jupiter 3 350cc and my mate had a around same age 125cc Minsk (similar as in video (in a way lol))! Around 20 years ago... Good times! Thank you for the video, bought back these good memories! ✌️👍

I said in your other video to *clean the points* 40 years with them closed will certainly have a layer of corrosion..

Mix up at least 25:1 premix if you ever expect it to last. There's a possibility that they're the same points that Ducati bevel singles use and these points are readily available. You guys have more money than sense.

Got a 71 rd 350 in my back yard you can have, and work on here. Better bring the van, or a truck. It ran when I parked it, 35 yrs ago. Bought it almost new in 73.

An awesome episode once again! Featuring vintage bikes like this Benelli dirt bike and the HD WLA makes for extremely unique content as these bike are rarely seen in these conditions. As a bonus we get to see all this in settings of some of the more obscure towns and country sides in the USA.

My first bike- in '76 was a benelli 125 ( badged as a Moto guzzi but the same bike) it hated starting so much I broke three kickstarters. When it did start after a long delay it deposited an oil slick that covered daddy's driveway. The starting process shown here was a good day.

Ah! That old 2-smoke sound, brings back memories.
