Well, the front brake photo contest was so much fun
that I'm taking Jerry up on the challenge of posting another one. This time it's for pictures of racing Commandos. I'll try to make the rules clear enough that we don't get confused (right!). Winner is the one with the most votes at the end of 31 July. That should be enough time for everyone who wants to participate to sort out a picture and post it. Enter as many time as you want, but only one picture per bike and only one picture per post.
1. Must be Commando engine and frame, modifications allowed. No Seeleys, Rickmans, etc.
2. Must have been or about to be raced. Road racers, landspeed racers, hillclimbers, ice racers, flat track, motocross, trials, etc., as long as it's racing.
3. Poster must be personally involved in some way with the bike, owner, rider, bulder, mechanic, sponsor, pit tootsie, etc. Edited to also include photos taken personally by the poster, even if no other involvement in the bike. Still no fair just posting a picture of something you saw online.
4. Vote for it on whatever basis you like, photo quality, originality of design, racing history, blingness, or just plain coolness.

) that were raced, and not have to judge them against purpose built race bikes. If someone else doesn't beat me to it, I'll also post a contest for bikes with Commando engines in other chassis. The question there would be should it just be race bikes, or any bike with a Commando engine. I'm leaning towards the any bike criteria. There are a fair number of really interesting street bikes out there with Commando engines in other chassis. The Cushman/Commando comes to mind.
