Hooked on Commando
Hooked as in hicks jerking fishes faces off or whipped on end of ski ropes. There's a lot of static when I compare corner cripples to Ms Peel, so want to brief clarify what I mean. Every other cycle on good surface when fork turned sharp enough or leaned to fouling cowling or over powered on heated tires, all loose it by changing lean angle, snatching forks into slappers or sliding wide opening radius not sharpening it. Some > more trying to lift back up others trying to hold down. When Peel taken to these limits only thing that happens on excess power is a side ways wheelie and that only happens in parking lot sharp turns at high speed, less a radius and just goes around like on a banked turn where handling has nil effect just air drag mass and power left. I am not good enough to enjoy fast fun on other cycles nor ever want to be as Peel is more than plenty for dummy weakling like me. So if bike takes skill and strength to control then its not anything I'm interested in but do worry for those who do. I am flabbergasted my tool of choose is such a horrific handler if left un-tamed. Don't seek feedback just imprinting the sense of hooked up good to me.
