Red Marley vintage hill climb ?

Man oh man them hill climbers scare the snot out of me like a moth to flames! There are equivalent events in the uSofA I've reviewed in awe and longing to try with a Combat on steroids. I was shocked at first to find my linked Peel could tackle that level crazy stuff well enough I now look forward to that more than claiming able to spank fatso tire road appliances. At this level its like jumping buildings gap, you can not creep up on it little by little. In fits of shear desperation's + sudden embarrassment following the MX trail guys to ravine drops to watch em pitch over then try to get back up even higher taller loose slopes, but figured they could recover my body and bike so found out how sharp and under cut edges Peel could take before hi center drag with undesired delay and pitch out of line to out race gravity to blast up far sides 50-80 feet standing upright on pegs with head light against chest hoping momentum/traction enough not to loose it on the 'vertical's and still have drive to follow the trail horitonally still on a Mt side steep more flat tracking crossed up skewed than steering with front in traction. OH LA LA!!! Buddies said its was wonderful to hear a big twin on cam in deep woods among the 2smokes and small 4 tokes. I'm flabbergasted to find how wide a scope my Peel Commando invited me too. 2" taller helps on and off road.
 
I've never competed but have watched it plenty of times as it's about 15 minutes from me. Usually a varied selection of old & newer bikes ridden by old & newer riders. Usually a fun day out. They had to switch to a different hill a few years ago but only about quarter of a mile from original.
