Just to set the record straight.

I certainly didn't. As I recall, your original assertion was about a
"well screwed to gtether" Norton. As the argument developed, I
obviously let my guard down and said that "no road going Commando"
would do 140mph. And then you found one, and I admitted that a 140
mph Commando *could* be put on the road.

This is no way detracts from the general intepretation that "well
screwed together" means stock but carefully assembled, whereas the
140mph machine was far from stock.

I've only ever known one Commando owner - he was 19, as were the rest
of us who were his mates. The rest of us hammered our jap bikes
around, usually hardly pausing to put oil in them. He put new main
bearings in his every 3 months.
