OT: New Benelli Tornado info

[Blake Sobiloff <sobiloff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(AIA for spamming the list -- I've managed to lose the names of the 
listers I've corresponded about this bike with in the past.)

Benelli has updated their web site with some more information -- mostly 
pictures of the first two Tornados running a parade lap at this year's 
Isle of Man. The site isn't quite public yet, but a little digging in 
their source code yielded:

The first news story on the above page is the one of interest.

[In case you haven't heard of the Benelli Tornado before, it's a new 
sport bike from the modern Benelli. It's based on a 900cc triple, and 
IMHO, has some of the sexiest motorcycle styling I've ever seen. This 
year they expect to participate in some of the World Superbike races, as 
well as start selling the road-going version of the Tornado to the public.]

Obligatory ST Content: It was raining today, and I'm feeling a little 
ill, so I lubed all the locks on my ST with TriFlow. I also, finally, 
after kvetching about it for almost a year, adjusted the aim of the 
headlights up a bit. Tomorrow, I think I'll play with the rear 
suspension settings -- double-check the sag and firm things up a bit. If 
I'm feeling up to it, I'll probably wash and wax it, too, using Griot's 
Garage Car Wash and Premium Wax. Heck, I might even go crazy and check 
the freeplay in the chain. I doubt I'll get around to installing the 
Hella horns, though. Maybe Monday? I sure love a three day weekend.
