marmezza thanks for saving another Commando for us and bringing some Italian flavors too. Best wishes on catching up on Commando lore and simple complexities. Most gals seems to like their ride over others, which makes me ask, is it still common to pinch cute cheeks?

Thank you for your warm welcome!
I do not have an heavy wallet but I do have a huge love for Commandos.
To me it has been more simply (and more funny) to buy a project and to spread the expenses amongst the time than to save money to buy a restored one.
Here you are some more pic... yesterday I placed a large order to purchase lots of pieces... soon I will start to dismantle the bike...
Only few things I know about this bike, she was boght in Italy in July 1971 and she was originally signal red but I will paint in vivid black...

the original colour seems to be really SIGNAL RED which someone told me very rare.
but I really still like black the most... :? :? :?
don't know what to do... but if I consider that I don't have the original side panels...mmm :?: :?: :?:
Marmezza I'll try to ignor what you said about Signal Red and welcome you to the group. Always willing to help and we like pictures.
You seem to have the right attitude and skills so maybe in a year or two we hope to see her resurrected.
