Thats kind of what I was thinking, the links give a frictionless (I hate using that word) restraint only allowing forward-backward and up-down movement. Maybe there is more too it than this though?
Yes triple links sure does that in spades, but it does not a rigid Commando make.
Here in lies a key phenomena to me, the steel tube frame can still twist up, even if the relation of power unit to frame is mostly stabilized by rod. My sense of it is the tires going in different directions, front aimed outward - rear along the tangent, twist chassis, that takes out a lot of the tire conflict of traction and control. On moderns I twist up they snap back so harsh they ring back into forks and tires toward crash zones. On Peel she either just relaxes as I ease loads off, or if I cut loads fast by power or forks to Neutral, she unwraps rubber band fast but with just as much rebound as a limp rubber band after release.
its this sling shot unwrap at point of least traction, ie: apex, I call phase 4 handling, to induce it takes straight steering Plus tripping out with power to get the hi side to save me while also turning bike on its CoG while in the air.
It literally allowed controlled crashing on purpose in eager no effort glee.
Well ok jet pilot breath control is needed to combine these one after another.
All the elite racers talk about that don't they? Pashaw.
