might be usefull if youre up that way . :?

Saw this bike in a mag many years ago. Still one of the best looking Commando's I've ever seen

It looks and is set up very similar to Ms Peel baseline configuration including the RGM swing arm. Better looking than a chopper to me in case anyone didn't understand this from my chopper fascination posts. Its very similar to my 1st Norton dragster P!! so that's what I want again, though smoother and faster and able to lean of course.

Most nice! I'd call it a Norton street tracker (if it had a headlight). I always liked the look on Triumphs too.

I remember seeing that around the time i built my Mono Special back in 1994 ( i think) .

Thats a great looking bike ,nicely done and built for fun 8)

It is not my style of bike, however the bike in the picture has really good attention to detail. My measure of any special is whether it looks functionally correct. Most choppers fail that test dismally.

Ms Peel in her raw-est format will look offensively skeletal silly, especially if cage on so even kind of ugly to me but function dictates her form so looking forward to all the teasing you can dish out in one format then another and then another and another, but shoot Commando's are like the 50's paper dolls with books of various clothes to hang on, so some day you can advise me on a Peel pose that pleases your sense urge to ride the snot out of it. I am trying to stay in frame of aging mind to still work up to the stunting antics a potent desert racer invites. Peel might get get as low as 300 lb in minialist format but that would not be street legal nor go much further than top of a hill climb or 1/4 mile or 1 mile blast.

Fate has imprinted me to expect tires to slip and air to get under them for little orgasms again and again.

" Fate has imprinted me "

saw a genuine tyre track on a yellow M-X shirt .

The guy had fallen of at the other side of the jump .

Unharmed Luckilly .

Yep these scrambler desert racer bikes are built to catch air time though they may not be so tolerant of all the landings. Off road suspension is what put mono shocks on the map. I have ended up rolling backwards a bit after a out of control sling around before falling. Recently saw stunters doing that on purpose, so that's something I want to try w/o anything to break off, that don't grow back on its own w/o extra expense. Don't jump into dark water w/o checking depth first, don't stick a hand in a hole w/o probing first and don't take off into deep grass or leaps up brush covered banks w/o walking the path and landing zone prior. But shoot who am I talking too but motorcyclers with their own crazy logic to put their seat in a saddle giving up full control of life and limbs.

[on SV650 and Peel, not a peg and iso limited factory Cdo]
I hang some my fastest turns on the very outside edge inches from the paint line as lean so low it projects head into other lane. Mentioned this to a local rider to be told of sport biker losing his head in glee that way here last year.
Senseless sport populated by irrational people, either honestly flaunting it or concealing it even from themselves.

Some might see a rebellous obnoxious chopper stance in this one while others a speed bump absorbing attacker


can I face this on THE Gravel
