RENZO PASOLINI'S BENELLI TO MAKE RETURN TO TT COURSE

For the sixth consecutive year, Team Obsolete has been invited to the Isle of Man Classic TT presented by Bennetts to display and parade a genuine exotic bike from its world renowned collection.

This year they will be bringing the Ex-Renzo Pasolini 1967 Benelli 350/4 to participate in the Classic Racer Magazine Classic TT Lap of Honour on the Mountain Course on Monday 27th August, part of a stunning parade that will feature a number of memorable pre-1992 Race bikes. The iconic machine will be ridden by 1984 Senior Historic TT Race winner Dave Roper. The bike will also feature in the VMCC Festival of Jurby on Sunday 26th August.

The bike is the very same seven speed Benelli that Renzo rode to an amazing 2nd place finish in the Junior TT in 1968 behind Agostini on his MV. It is also the very same bike that rider Dave Roper so famously rode to victory at the 1993 Daytona 350 �Historic GP� and later crashed at Kerrowmoar while leading the 1993 Junior Classic Manx GP.

Robert Ianucci, who manages Team Obsolete said:

�After an extensive rebuild the Benelli has been run several times in preparation for the coming event. We are excited to return the machine to the island 50 years after Pasolini�s podium to share its song with the faithful once more.�

Classic TT Grandstand tickets are available now starting from as little at �5 with race day tickets priced at �30. VIP experiences, tickets for the Classic TT Party on Saturday 25th August and the RST Classic TT Heroes Dinner on Sunday 26th August are all available to buy now at iomtt.com or via our sales hotline on (00 44) (0) 1624 640011.

I will keep a look out for it, I am traveling to the classic TT this year, planned this trip way back in 2016 and can't wait.
Another tick off the bucket list.

Pasolini was my 1st road racing hero, back in the day. Benelli a favored marque. He was 4 years younger. He would be 80 on 18 July, had he lived. The crash was awful and may still carry controversy.  R3~
