As I've mentioned before, Lucy gets car sick when we put her in her crate on the backseat. The crate was necessary because without it she would climb onto the driver's lap in the front seat which would not be safe.
So, I decided to get Lucy a doggie seat belt for the backseat. We tried it out on a short trip on Saturday and she really seemed to like sitting in the middle of the backseat and looking out the windshield. She even drooled less. Things might be looking up.

This is a meticulously detailed history of the Norton Commando: its antecedents, how it came about, and year-by-year production changes, with detailed technical specifications and contemporary road test reports showing how the Command compared with its rivals. However, the history of the bike cannot be separated from the turbulent story of the company that built it.
Unlike other Norton Commando books, this one also tells you how to buy one of these iconic bikes secondhand – all the pitfalls, what to look for, and what they are really like to live with. Whichever one you choose, it should be fast, agile and good looking ... on a twisty country road, the Commando is famed for its roadholding, and with information on clubs, websites, spares, and the latest modifications and upgrades, this book will help you get the bike you deserve.
Featuring comprehensive appendices of facts, figures, contacts, technical specifiations (including correct colours for each year), engine/frame numbers, and road test performance figures, this is the definitive book of a bike that truly deserves the term ‘classic.'

Given to me today as a tip. I think they stopped making these some time in the 80's

On the 15th-16th November 2011, five Royal Marine Physical Training Instructors succcessfully completed all four Commando Tests, in 24 hours. The aim of the challenge was to raise money for the Royal Marines/ Royal Navy Children’s Fund and Children in Need. These normally take place over 8 days and have NEVER before been successfully completed over a 24 hour period.
The challenge consisted of the following within the 24 hours allotted:
Endurance Course: This comprises of a 4 mile march to the start of the course where timings are started. Located on Woodbury Common, the route is 2.5 miles across country and includes 5 sets of tunnels, one of which is fully submerged. Once the cross country phase is complete the individual will have to make best time over the 4 miles back to Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM) which is immediately followed by a shoot on the range. In short, we will have 73 minutes to complete 6.5 miles over mixed terrain and carrying 21 lbs plus a rifle.
9 Mile Speed March: We will be driven to the start point from which 90 minutes will be allocated to complete 9 miles over varied terrain, again carrying 21lbs and a rifle. The test will once again finish at CTCRM.
Tarzan Assault Course: As a course initially located through a series of trees (at height) this test will stretch the individual’s confidence whilst maintaining pressure for speed over the obstacles. 13 minutes is given for this test and although short and sharp its difficulty is highly regarded as a single mistake can cost significant time. Once again conducted wearing 21 lbs of kit and a rifle.
30 Mile March: Carrying 21lbs, a rifle and safety stores for in the eventuality of a casualty, we will march 30 miles across the arduous terrain presented over Dartmoor which is renowned for its rapidly changing climate, bogs and energy sapping hills. Allocated 8 hours for the final physical test conducted wearing 21 lbs of kit and a rifle.
