What Did You Do With Your Commando Today?

After getting help from the ‘hive’ mind in this forum, went for a leisurely spin around the coast, perfect day, perfect bike, imperfect rider🤣

Nice bike! I like the way you striped the side covers as I haven’t seen one like that before.

Thanks, all this was done before I purchased the bike approx. 14 years ago. I've made lots of changes to make the bike more usable and really enjoy my time on the bike. I don't use it that often & sometimes think I should sell it on BUT all it takes is one or two good days with the bike & I just can't think of not having it in my 'collection' :D
 
Installed a complete air filter assembly on my 850 Mk2.
Reasonably straightforward, and only a small amount of blood was released during the process.
(Fitted the front plate, with rubbers, first, and then pulled that forwards with a webbing strap around the cylinder head.)

After a two plus month riding hiatus due to breaking my left (luckily!!) ankle, ribs and other injuries, managed to kickstart the Commando.
Hugely satisfying and reminded me how great she sounds. The first stage in getting back to riding.

Glad to hear it Steve. Dave has been keeping us updated via group text.
 
I rode across Detroit's north west suburbs to Woodward Avenue where cruisers and spectators were warming up for the annual Woodward Dream Cruise. Classic cars, trucks, hot rods, motorcycles, sports cars etc cruise up and down Woodward Avenue as people line the street with chairs, blankets and tents to watch. The event officially takes place on Saturday but unofficially takes place in the evenings during the week leading up to the cruise. It gets congested but a very fun thing to see and participate in. Especially on a Norton on a beautiful Wednesday evening. https://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/

Love to do that cruise! Woodward is well known to Pontiac guys as it was well known that Pontiac took some of their hot cars out the back door to Woodward for “testing”. One of my favorite posters is of a 68 GTO sitting, waiting for a race. Its signed by Jim Wangers, one of the Pontiac insiders who made it happen.
