Good observations, convict. Downshifting is normally recommended for passing on most standards. Bonnevilles have long been noted for relatively good handling on rough surfaces. And they're a lot easier to take on long rides than most sportbikes.
I wonder about the chain noise, though. Haven't encountered that same thing with mine yet. Is it possible that yours has enough mileage for a combination of chain and sprocket wear to produce that effect?
