I also ride a Bacchetta Corsa.

I enjoy riding my recumbent on centuries, especially flat ones. But most of the time I ride my CX bike. I definitely don't care to commute on my recumbent, mainly because of the daily climbing I do on my ride. Too much wear and tear on the knees.

I will have to disagree with you on one point though. Most recumbent crashes I have seen, people end up on their butts. I personally know of 2 people who ride recumbents who have broken their hips in crashes. I was lucky. I only had to deal with road rash on my butt-cheek that would stick to my underwear for about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the area in question was very difficult to successfully bandage, which made it even more pleasant.

I set my personal downhill speed record on that bike. Which was a setup run on a closed course. You simply can't hit speeds over 60 on a DF bike. They begin to wobble once you get around 50. The recumbents lower center of gravity makes them ride more solidly at higher speeds.
