Commando Choppers please

Hobot · May 5, 2013

O.S. SK, saw the frame contouring-molding that's structural too I swear my groin twitched!

There is no place a INOA rallys for the likes of Peel or your kind, but a stake outside the official roped off arena so will just bring my own sign next rally and see what shows up.

It won't be long now, I plan on making some progress this month. Minds will be blown, faces will be melted, and hopefully I receive some entertaining hate mail for my reading pleasure.

Oh yes, the words Norton and chopper, do belong in the same sentence my friends.

Thought I trow in this one I came across in the weekend.
Tank shows a dutch saying maybe appropriate to how Norton chopperista may feel sometime.
"Mens erger je niet!" is how the "Ludo" board game is called here, it means so much as "Man don't get irritated!".
Live and let live, I say.

Bad ass my mommy would not approve but my oh my that rear tire size sure appeals to me for Peel. My mind throbs on the numbers of ruined Commando lurking world wide we ain't seen yet, plus more in the works. Could take over the whole world like they have our small towns as the movies documented.

Not really my thing, but here are some pictures I took at the 2007 Rally.

That could be saved by losing that freaky big seat, awful tank, weird rear plunger setup, deraking the front and fitting shorter forks, going back to mid controls, etc

I like chopped bikes, but those things are awful.
The first one with the girder looks cool.

I don't think that's a Corbin... it maybe a modified Lay-Z Boy.
Still,it looks more comfortable than the red chopper.

Will the Builder fit in the Gas Tank .

So when is the next rally? I may be due for a good road trip when this British misfit is all flaked and ready to rumble.

Hell Yes I'd ride that with pride in its flying fickle finger of fate following along! I know it will ride very well and you may become one of the most knowledgeable about fork behavior with those piked pegs on the cross brace that moves with the suspension. Let us know what happens soon as ya initiate even little leans while coasting. INOA puts on a good annual rally - usually way up above the Masion-Dixion line so takes at least 4 days just travel time plus the 5 days or more of rally. Then thers a few other vintage oriented rallys some just huge famous shops, others mixed race clubs that have been going since before motorcycles got a bad name from chopper occupants. Don't paint it for guys tastes paint if for the women as they mention yours as the one that appealed the most to them, hehehe, all the way home with disgusted husbands.

Often something dangerous it a fixed to sissy bar, bayonet, grenade or more sweet like a peace symbol or pot leaf. Peel's rear will read < Ass Grass Cash > Have ya thought about bar end tassels like me?

Soulkitchen · May 10, 2013

If you look close the cruise pegs are on the down tubes, or maybe you were just pulling my chain!

Sorry, no tassels.

Also, it will be a "pretty" color.

Hobot · May 10, 2013

Ok I tried to look but thot on a fork brace. I've long legs and down tubes do not allow me to stretch em out. On pre-Peel I used the front signals but on Peel I was really foot forward. One can only do so much if retaining a bikes basic frame structure but its often good enough to convey bad ass flowing attitude. Thank goodness the Commando engine is so attractive it lends respect to about anything.

:shock: Note to Wes: Friends don't let friends....

Hobot · May 11, 2013

Ha, Wes knows any tassels on Peel would just remind us of them on dancing women chests or riding saddles, sheeze.
Also like seeing cycles with flags that appeal to me too. Thing about other cycles is they are stuck in one mode, racer, off roader, bagger cruiser but not Ms Peel no one will know what to make of her but me.

coydog · May 11, 2013

Will you enter it in the Shriner's Parade?

I keed, I keed... I like custom Commando's very much.

Hobot · May 11, 2013

Alas choppers are a shared infection that is no respecter of class.

Soulkitchen · May 25, 2013

Old and moldy.

Hobot · May 26, 2013

Ahw man SK, you just slay me with the flowing forms I associate with a Righteous Chopper!

Snorton74 · May 30, 2013

Just saw this one on Craigslist. Only 10 miles away from me, good thing I'm broke.

Commando Choppers please
