For those amongst you that are aged under about 40.

The origin of "I don't get paid enough to ride that thing"

Wikipedia:

Benelli is one of the oldest Italian motorcycle manufacturers established in 1911.[1] It once manufactured shotguns, although this part of the business is now a separate company.
The motorcycle division is currently under administration of a Chinese Qianjiang Group

yes, the gun company was created as an offset from the motorcycle company, but it's separate now
