Me And My 71 Benelli

Finally riding a big boys bike
This pic was taken last year when I brought my 1971 Benelli Dynamo Compact home to Colorado from West Virginia. Sadly, it was stolen by some low-life out of may garage in June.... My dad bought it brand new in Sellersville Pennsylvania and I learned how to ride it at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center (we lived on base) in 1976. Sadly the trip to get it was the last trip I got to take with my wife, she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 3 weeks after we got back and passed away 4 months later (Debbie 1949-2015)....

WOW..horrible luck all the way around. So sorry for the loss of your wife. Mine was diagnosed with lung and colon cancer but with catching it soon enough, chemo and surgery, she's still with me after over 50 years married.

Wish you the best!!

Update..... It has been recovered! I got it back about a month ago, but the thieves messed it up. They painted the whole thing flat black and cut the end panel off the seat. Been trying to track down some pieces (they also changed the handlebars) and hope to get it back in decent shape someday....
