Fright Night!
Reminds me of a nightmare I had in my drinking days.

I'm not on Facebook, but a while back my dad showed me a short clip of a Commando on a paddock stand at some sort of event.

It looked very much like a racer, with open pipes. There was an older chap gently blipping the throttle and it sounded absolutely glorious. Been stuck in my head ever since.

Does that ring a bell with anyone? I'd be interested to know a bit more about the bike if anyone recognises it. The clip can't have been more than 15 seconds or so.
