A little piece that will please those die-hard Benelli fans – Kel Carruthers recently visited Benelli headquarters, after a visit to Italy’s Asimotoshow on May 17, and completed a factory visit, granting photos and autographs to the factory workers.
Carruthers took a tour of the new Benelli models, and was happy to share some his stories of racing Benelli’s of the past – a glory which the company hopes to be able to return to in the future.
While most of us won’t remember Carruthers’ 1969 world championship win with the four-cylinder Benelli 250, it clearly stays with him as a distinct memory and one which proves that Benelli pedigree is there.
See the pics of Carruthers touring Benelli headquarters and we’ll wait to see if they can get back to racing in the future.
