I'm thinking of buying a Commandoc

The extras that come with them made my mind up.

The oldest rocker in town!

Back in the day, used to have a '72 Roadster - no grabrail or humped seat like that. Tried to impress a young lady I worked with, gave her a lift home after work.
Didn't realise there was a humpback bridge on the way into her village (Fladbury?)
She slid off the back of the seat, luckily being stopped by the rear light. I was more concerned by the damage done to the light housing...

Could be very high maintenance and I not talking about the bike.

They're reputed to give very memorable rides I believe.

I can see the appeal of the extras. The non-standard sear, front mudguard, rear sets, bar end mirrors and aluminium rims all make it a great looking bike. Will you tell that bird to sit on it properly or that rockers belt will scratch the tank paintwork.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Jerry, You'd be better off with another make of British twin without isolastics = young ladies allegedly respond better to their tingling vibrations.

From a past partner, the Laverda 180 was her favourite, much preferred to the GPz900r.
