Captain Commando (aka Phil Dansby) was asked by Cycle World's marketing manager to display three of his custom bikes during the recent International Motorcycle Show. The intent in each city is to showcase local bikes that had previously appeared in the "American Flyers" section of the magazine. As all three of Capt. Commandos bikes had previously appeared, they were asked to be in the show. Cycle World also wanted them in the Houston show as there were not enough qualified bikes in that area.
The Captain put his Ducati single (aka Eye Candy) along with this two Nortons in the show. See related stories at:
