So this is why my father liked this motor cycle. He owned one. It was his pride and joy.

My father as well... I remember having to ride on the tank when I was young, then eventually being old enough to ride on the back

I often think Id like another one of these at the still young age of 65 but KZitem clips like this really settle that itch quite nicely. Thanks for the awesome virtual ride.

You should do it. After sitting in storage for 40 years, having my '72 commando back on the road this year has been an absolute blast, even for a 70 year old rider. I may not scrap pegs like I did when I was 18, but just putting around town on the ol' Snortin' Norton has been a treat. Added benefit: amazing how many young people have an appreciation for old English bikes these days.

Great to see and hear somebody on a Commando video 'opening the taps' a bit for a change ! - Great stuff, just goes to prove that any good Commando can still take it !..

Great sound, beautiful course. But I don’t get why the rider is not downshifting properly before corners? He’s just coasting through and hardly having enough rpm left to get going.

Made me recall, downshifting was a conscious decision.

If your primary chain is slapping that is a sign of sloppy maintenance you can adjust the primary chain as part of everyday maintenance. Of course you can wait until it breaks and goes right through your cases but that's up to you.

I doubt the chain would break the caseings .those berman gearboxe castings were solid as .more likely you would lock up the chain. I threw a chain at 90 miles an hour on my honda 750 ripped the casting to shreads .lucky it did otherwise the back wheel would have locked up and at 90 mph anything could have happened.
