'74 Commando vs elite modern joy ride trip

Stumbled on what I 1st thought was Ozark's Race Track Road but didn't tighten up as much. Its the type riding Wesley in a hurry would lead me on with groin tightening rates, in the wet, so not comfortable even on Ms Peel. Not stupid squids, old seasoned farts with purposeful spirit. Its what I imagine we all long for - quaint antiquities, mythical flying carpets thrust into the future easy as pie by turbo fan smmooth hand of God. I have followed two cargo ladden 850's in similar conditions to be awed by how easy they just left Ms Peel behind unless making her/me strain too. They were just passing through sightseeing rates to them with a place to reach in reasonable time, not maxing out, ugh. Commandos need a new following or supplies dry up so wish Commando feats/features would go viral to keep new blood pumping while gasoline not illegal.

Nice road !

Nice weather !

Nice Nort !

Happy days.

Nice to see a commando being used for what they were made for
I see so many that are beautiful looking but are just ornaments

The road in the vid is in S Cal, not Arkansas. Tightest twistys there are on Push Mountain Rd., The "Arkansas Dragon" Talimena Parkway has some pretty good twists at either end, especially on the Mena end. Rt 7 north of Hot Springs is fun, too. 125 north of the Peel Ferry into Missouri is a hoot. Lots of great roads, which is why I have been riding there at least twice a year since 2007.

Nice! no grounding though.
I wish I had a video of my late mate Ian Fearan rear wheel steering his bog standard 76 Mk3 in the wet.
