This is my 2005 Benelli Tornado Novencentro tre Limited Edition with 470 miles on her. This is number 131 of 150 built. They were built to homogulate for world superbike racing, hence the set-up. She is a hand made Italian bike with a three cylinder. Makes the most amazing sound. Her body is pure carbon fiber, magnesium engine components, Marchesini racing rims, Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes.

Okay, here is one of the driveway with my 2003 Harley Davidson 100th anniversary Road King Classic in silver/black. 503 miles on her and she makes the show circuits here with the nelli. The other one is the wifes bike (only way I could justify another one). Its an Aprilia RS125 two stroker. What a riot that one is to ride!!!

<------- SOOOOOO Jealous! Beautiful bikes and car... and you are in England. I would give my right (insert male organ here) to be in your shoes right now! Even with the military job (USAF I presume?)! Many many moons ago, I used to live about 75 miles SSW of where you are now.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys. This was said on another post thread but how much these things are worth is proportionate to the beauty of the beholder. I waited a looooonnngggg time to get that red fiero and it paid off. The bikes will all stay with me as well. Never getting rid of them so they are priceless. My 10yr old son loves the new ride so I am thinking of buying a shagged 88gt and having archie to a chop and V-8 swap then slowly working on the rest with him. Throw him the keys on his 16th and tell lhim to live it up. That would be a great father/son bonding thing to do. My dad never did that kind of stuff with me so I really want to with him.

Me and my dad built a finale kit from archie together--except we started it about 4 or 5 months before i turned 16 so didnt have as much time(which was stressful at times) but we did get it done about a month after i turned 16--

They are rear mounted radiator fans. The rad sits just in front of them. Makes the frontal surface smaller, less wind resistance at speed, hence faster with less horsepower. Supposedly F1 cars use the same theory.
