The old Commando got along so briskly , you could ignore other motorcycles . Can recall a few young Jappers haveing a
fit and wanting a ' rematch ' when I hadnt been any more aware of them than any other ' obstacles ' on the road .
The 3.00 19 V section KR front tyre , I look at as makeing it a bit nervous now . Had Roadrunners , Continentals ( lethal )
A big old 4.00 19 Pirrelli tyre like they used for dirt track . Thew that on the A 10 . On the C'do leant over a little , the
throttle or brake had the back walking , New , Liquueish , and ' knob walk ' , tho Maybe good on the Dirt . The Trianglars were terrible there . Then a 4.00 K 70 , in winter with the 23 T sprocket it wasnt geared short , Declotching in the wet ,
Blip and declutch at 40 would light it up , sawing the throttle youd keep it spinning to 60 . Steered straight . Bit Daft .
Wondering about you on the dirt though , It was more relaxced with the larger front tyres . Dirt roads alone the Pirrelli
or K 70 were good value . The racier stuff didnt like the cold and wet , the K70 when it was bucketing down was ok ,
if you kept it more upright you could go pretty quick , keeping it in the power band for steering .
Sort of the rally technique , keep the boot in and look were youre wanting to go . Dont take youre eyes of the objective .
