Ok, thanks guys, I needed some reality checks it wasn't just
me finding more power or desire on tap than Commando
capacity to handle it.
Never had a normal motorcycle till i left city in '98 for Ozarks
and shopped for a used mower to come back with a Combat
It was tough choice as used up last of money saved for move
and I'd not yet figured out where to set up new business.
Scared Confidence I call it. Changed good life to even better.
So had to go through the stages of inexperienced youthful
excesses in leaning and turning and lines and many OH MY G-D's.
I've had every possible combo of things that can upset a
Commando on carefree light riding to harsh attacking.
I recognize and shudder at each report above's close call.
I am So Very Done with all that immature learning curve. Be it
on sport moderns I got into for 5 yrs rebuilding 1st leaking
Combat into Ms Peel or any un-tamed Commando.
Racers must be world class to handle such cripples, not me.
I have seen the light and its shines on the Patton rear link
with its two helpers, in combo with the fork and other
upgrades, MINUS fork dampeners, BEWARE.
Hope to tease others into trying rear link - "rump rod".
Where un-tamed Cdo's, in accelerating slightly
decreasing sweeper can become a floppy terror,
rod link allows secure clam resistance to any upset till
the tires start to drift out, no angle or aim change just calm and
steady ya quickly get bored leaving the fat tired elite bikes behind
and can nail it more to skip rear out for vectored thrust and
saving high sides to uprightness for straight ahead acceleration
legs as many times as desired > to literally facet sweepers
into short full on sprints holding tight as ya like to paint lines
inside or outside, no need to run or slide wide.
Flabbergasting Fabulous.
To fling fat sports bikes half that hard requires great
athletics, but not on a rear linked Commando, No Sir,
get easier the harsher looser you ride it. I get worn
down just cruising on my SV650, let along a few more mph
seeking thrills that it just can't handle like a Watt's
like triplex iso-chassis control. Peel always refreshes me.
Its so good it invites ya into faster funner further phases
'steering' around with pilot ease, only effort being wrist
work on carb spring
Ok fighter pilot breath control
needed on higher G spikes or sustained G's forces. But nil
to control C-do in predicable secure no surprise wonder.
There's a race track 4 hours away, want a timed comparison
as believe Peel tops vintage and modern racer corner speeds
in public glee. But going blindly over crests and around
turns is a dice toss to ever come back d/t unknown hazards,
but there's not a worry in the world of losing any control.
Oh yeah, do ya know that at some point going ever faster
around, there's transitions into phases of reversed control
actions, be it brakes forks or throttle or pilot english.
Peel does this in glee while moderns have computers
to prevent and limit their potential d/t too rigid ringing
chassis on wrong way oriented tire patches - just
can't take it like a power pulse dampened, energy
storing, tire conflict removing, articulated sling shot,
neutral handling flexy flying carpet Commando!!!
All else are dangerous corner cripples that look like a string
of marker cones slowing moving positions for more slalom fun.
I'm cautious in public not to play neck and neck games
as I may lead a pilot in over bike capacity
and moderns do run too close to limits to have real fun,
so I wait for an open or a sharper blind I disappear around
- then let Peels hair out for solitary apex orgasms *~*~*~>
then wait at next stop, letting after glow of adrenalin re-charge.
WHOOOWHOOOO.
Be restless my hot dogging friends, very very restless
on what you are missing out on.
Sell your gold and your soul, nothing will ever
pay back like the multiple road orgasms as fast
as you can stand the apexes.
Here's how Peel loves to take it, no room for knee,
leg straight back as no stily need to put a foot out.
