Pan-Pan v-twin panther

have a couple of top ends spare and have been thinking about this for a while

sorted some measurements with help of a few friends and it looks like it will work

this is just a 10 minute prop together and it is absolutely just sitting in my living room, untouched, as an ornament till after the twin engine bike is done but then i will tinker away on it, and in a good few years will have a bloody huge v-twin panther engine to so ?something? with

thought it might amuse at least for now

panther tops, panhead bottom - here she is - PAN-PAN

legal for another year

got my MOT this morning, hayride tomorrow - cutting things nice and fine.... had to ditch the fishtails to get quiet enough for the test - they will make a re-appearance when i get round to it.

'33 panther

this bike is going through more twists and turns than a barrel full of snakes. so setting out with no real fixed plan was probably a bad way to start things. oh well - i picked up a 1933 engine the other week for it so the m120 lump is being sold on to start someone else off on their panther journey. needs new engine plates making up and then i will get a gearbox in and see if things line up or not... need to have a sit-down and proper think about this thing and decide where its going

Wiring time

i hate wiring pretty much more than anything else on bikes. but sadly its a necessary evil with this lark getting the trike legal - and man are there a lot of wires on this thing, side lights, indicators, hazard lights and the list goes on... fortunately QM came over from britishironworks and volunteered for the task. the trike really is in its final flurry before getting the man from the DVLA to have a looksy and be done n stomping up and down the country.

ITS ALL MINE

collected the twin at the weekend and im more than pleased with what briz has done for me with it. got a coat of primer on and back together.

Pitman Book of P&M

shaun sent me a great book over yesterday

its from 1933 and has some gems in it, like its commentry on noise - seems people were wanting louder back then too, but if you can suggest surging power, what more do you need?

Hotrod Hayride

only a couple of weeks till the hayride & by the sounds of it a lot of bikes going down there this year. need to get the shovel mot'd but if all goes well i'll be there on it - if not i might have to take the sporty and hide it in a bush nearby
