Motorcycles, Myths and lies on Internet

It was spring and I was a senior in high school when I bought my 1971 Commando for $1364 out the door, on time; my dad co-signed. Another kid bought one of those black H-1s and he'd do wheelies up and down the street in front of school. I don't remember any races with that guy but I do remember, bitterly, my X-country coach who made fun of my Commando when I parked it on the center stand near the gym; he said it wasn't right - the "daylight" he could see between the rear wheel and the fender. I think the longish travel of the rear suspension of the Commando is one of its assets.

Hello Danno

When I rode the H1 home for the first time I took it along the twisty back roads instead of the direct route.
Coming quite quickly upon a slower car I dropped a gear and wound on, Up came the front and I went past the poor driver on the back wheel.
I remember looking down on him and he looking back with a look on his face that said " show off" little did he know it was quite unintentional.

My bike had been raced by Davick motique and had a box section swinginging arm and extra bracing on the frame at the pivot.
