Hub reminded me of some good memories of my '69 750 Commando. That was a hell of a bike. It was supposed to be the fastest production bike at the time. Back then it was all about English bikes. Wrenching was as necessary to riding as gas and oil. Tricks like wiring wiring exhaust lugs to not loosten were valuable. The Norton was the first to come out with rubber motor mounts to reduce vibration,,,,but still, numb fingers were par for the course. I once has a backfire and it bent the push rod and smashed the lifter face. I was able to get another lifter but it was 8 weeks back order on the push rod. An old mechanic down at the shop said why don't you just straighten it? So I hit it with a hammer until it looked straight. I put the engine back together. If both sets of valves were 180 from TDC you could slipthe head on and off without removing the motor. Well it ran great after that and some new plugs. Those were the days when you always wore your most comfortable boots for riding.....in case you had to walk home.
