Update 23-4-2013 Benelli 250 2c first serie 1972

I met Sytze van den Berg from Holland and he was one of the mechanics of Rob Bron.

Now Rob Bron was a very good racer in the 70-80's

He drove in the same races as Agostini, Sheene and Turner

He also drove a topspeed of 342 km/u - 212.50 m/h on the 200 miles of Daytona in 1978.

Now you know where I'm talking about.

Now Sytze is very into Benelli 2 stroke.

So I met him last week and he was very pleased to see me !!!!!

Why?

Now first I asked him te look at mine engine if I need some new bits and pieces

Then he told me that it was one of the first series of the 250 2c.

Even the crankshaft was from the first serie he told me.

(i didn't know there was a different one)

The pistons had grooves (see photo)

And even the manifold (intake befor the carbs)where the early ones

He looked at the complete bike with the different footrests (see photo)

and the early framenumber (just 4 figures)

Aprilia taillight

Borrani rims (record)

Inox mudgards

Grimeca double leading brake shoe (L+R)

Marzocchi front

Tomaselli handlebar and so on....

Than He told me I got a very rare nearly original bike

Just the silentium silincers are from a later model but they are nearly brand new

So, not only I met somebody who knows where he's talking about, even met a nice person who was very pleased he saw all the beautiful original early stuff of the 250 2c

Now a few photo's of the Benelli 250 2c

IS IT BETTER TO LIVE YOUR LIFE BACKWARDS

Have you even thought what happens when you would live backwards? Seems to me much more enjoyable. But read on.To begin you stand up from the dead, a spectacular beginning ... If you get yourself out the coffin by your family and best friends, who welcomes you and they all have a flower. Then you should do a year or 20 nice things whatever you want to do, gardening, occasionally a trip at half price, staying in bed whenever you want and check every month your pension paycheck. On a day there is suddenly a guy for your frontdoor with a golden watch. He also offers you a well-paid job. As the years go by, you also get more and more sense to work, you feel that your health is getting better, you can have cigarettes as many as you like, because your lungs are becoming cleaner. You can drink what you want, the hangovers are getting smaller. You loose your belly without doing something for it. In the beginning you have 1 time sex a year, but on the last at least 10 times a week. At a moment you have to go to school but you knows everything, so you don't have to study. And the last years of your life you can play in the childrensgarden, nagging and annoying, and you can eat candy as much as you like, because all your teeth you got, you loose anyway. Than a few months to a woman's breast, then waiting for 9 months and then vanishing in a big massive orgasm ...........;-)
