👍👍👍 NGK Spark Plugs 😊. Takes me back to the 70's when a Saturday Afternoon (the Morning in town getting the relevant spares and such) spent alone, on my Motor Vehicle changing the Oil and Filter, putting in new Petrol and Air Filters, 'Points, Plugs, Condensor' and Timing Check, followed by an overall 'checkup' was a walk in the park .. before going over to my Girl Friend's House. Good Days .. wish they were back. Today's motor vehicles are DIY impossible and designed to cost the owner money 😖.
A friend of mine had an Enfield before we met. He said that it had a lever behind the shifter that would drop the trans directly from high gear the 1st. You had to be careful with it.
Old Bridgestone bikes had a similar feature, called it a rotary shift. I never could see the point of it, the need to go from high to low never comes up, you normally down shift through the gears as you slow down.
I saw a couple old bikes today and thought of you. I got invited to fish some farm ponds and while I was there I took a peak in one of the old barns on the property. There were two old Russian made motorcycles with side cars in there. URAL I think is what I read on it. Looked like an odd engine on it with two heads and plugs? If y’all had one of those you could add a bike from Russia to yalls collection. Not sure who would ride in the sidecar though lol
2 of my 3 Favorite Things! Good to see You! Cafe' Racer that Benelli? My Cousin had a 64 Biscane that same color with a 427 that could litterally pull the wheels!
Yessir the old Norton was the best IMO then the triumph and bsa All three were good enough bikes just as dependable as a old Marlin or Winchester lever action rifle I've got a old waffle top deluxe in very excellent condition mfg 1949 it's still All original in 30-30@@logcabinlooms
My Yamahas run the BP7es, or the BPR7es resistor variant, but this Benelli called for a plain old B7es, which are discontinued. One thing I know about 2 strokes, you don't play fast and loose with plugs.
I have always had a knack for it, but growing up on a farm you get plenty of practice. After highschool I worked at many jobs, including a couple motorcycle shops and picked up a wide range of skills.
👍👍👍

Hay appreciate the walk around the bikes and Chevy. The scout is 👍
When a car was a car
B7ES not obsolete - readily available.

You don't run across them often, it's the Russian version of an old BMW, very sought after.
Maybe in my next life. Love them old bikes.
I had a yellow SIMSON S 50cc when I was in my late teens, that run on 5/100 oil to gas. It looked a lot like yours...
I prefer a premix, I know the oil is there, I don't trust pumps and cables.
I hate Newer cars!

Nice!
Nice collection. My first street legal bike was a 4 stroke Italian Harley. I never really liked 2 strokes because of the plug fouling problem.
Had to have been one of the Sprints, which are an interesting machine, I have worked on them, and wouldn't mind running across one.
🇦🇺😎👍
You need a old BSA to round out the group. Then have a Allied vs. Axis ride. Whoever goes the farthest with out a breakdown wins WWll. 😂
I do like the old British bikes, but they never really caught on out here so I seldom run across them.

Polaris80s and 90s snowmobile use those plugs. Lots of those sleds around. And those plugs. 2 stroke sleds.

Where did you learn to mechanic sir? You are very handy

I think your bike is missing some sprokes on the rear wheel.🚨
I smell $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
