I wanted to say how much I appreciate your POC videos. The viewer travels back in time to a period in history when talented indigenous people who invented, manufactured and innovated machines that nearly a century later live on as evidence of this wonderful industrial age. Your videos are entertaining and informative, but more than that I also find them strangely relaxing and calming. Whether it's the melodic, rhythmic sound of the single cylinder engine from a bygone era that infuses the relaxation I'm not sure. But after watching one of your ride out productions I experience a calm, peaceful, untroubled and tranquil serenity that lasts until the modern world breaks the illusion. The dialogue reminds me of the literary style of English gentlemen that is appreciated through the fog of time gone by. My own motorcycling days are long in the past, although I notice looking at my driving license I still have the category of a person fully qualified to ride any capacity of motorcycle. I have fond memories of the machine I bought, but unfortunately it did originate in the land of the rising sun, but as a 16 year lad my experience of machines was inadequate. None the less my enthusiasm and enjoyment was boundless and I can still remember at 7am on my 16th birthday (1967) nervously pushing my new perchase out of my father's garage and starting the twin cylinder Honda which burst into life at the push of a button. Off I went bedecked in new leather riding jacket, boots, gloves and a smart new crash helmet. Unfortunately I had no tuition before setting off and no help other than two bright L plates which informed other road users of my plight. For the next twelve months the wheels rarely stopped even the winter when my heavy Levi jeans froze to my legs didn't perturb me. Then exactly 365 days later I acquired a car. My mother "found" a friend selling a Austin Mini at a surprisingly low price. It must have been thirty years before the penny dropped as to why that car was so inexpensive. Mothers are such wonderful people! Now the decades have pasted all too quickly watching your videos have bought back happy memories of those 365 days in 1967/68. Thank you for that and please continue with your work it's much appreciated. Regards Michael Pymm Shropshire.
Always a pleasure to hear others' motorcycle experiences Michael. My own parents were not keen on their teenage son taking to two wheels either, but perhaps less generous in their disapproval. I was completely hooked within weeks and have been only once briefly without a motorcycle in more than fifty years. I reckon I still have a few rides in me. Glad to have you along.
Some fantastic machines on display there, lovely to see them in action and obviously loved. As a sidecar fan there were some tempting outfits, the Indian taxi was superb.
Brilliant . . . .went out with Jeff Clarke on a run Saturday afternoon , coming back down the track through the woods saw a parasol bouncing along ahead of us through the trees , then heard Indian music , and just knew it had to be Neil Turner from West Mids . . . . .it was . .😁
A friend of mine for 50 years, was a fan of fat Freddie's cat. He was killed on his Harley Davidson a few years ago. I was searching fat Freddie's cat on UA-cam. I came across Richard's chopper, from there Panthers in general and your brilliant videos. Thanks for your effort and enthusiasm
Another bed time viewing video so interesting showing a fabulous collection of machines narrated by the Jack Hargreaves of the vintage motorcycle world nice one Jonathan
As you said that was an impressive turnout JJ. Thanks for taking the time to make a Great little video, nice to see Fat Freddie and the Vtwin again, (could do some more videos of those bikes! hint to the owners!!)
Just discovered you guys. Awesome stuff, I'm going to be in the market for another bike next year and might consider a Panther. Always been a Triumph and BSA fan but they do look like fun.
I've never seen so many Panthers without a chair attached. The big slopers are so uncompromising, they look like something pressed into service from an industrial application. Draining the fens, perhaps, or running the dodgems.
GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE HAVING A GOOD TIME HEAR IN AMERICA. ITS ALL HARLEY DAVIDSON. IREALY DONT CAR E FOUR ALL THE EGO DUMP I A,WAY HAD MY R. 1OO R BOXER. LEMAY NELSON

Such an eclectic gathering of people let alone the beautiful machines, looked like a joyful event 👍👌

Thank you for these videos, I am pleased to have stumbled into their welcoming and relaxed atmosphere ..wonderful..
Always captivating on countless levels. Thank you.
Such marvellous machines kept alive with obvious love and dedication. A superb video. Thanks for sharing.

Glad this is being enjoyed but I'd hate to think I was keeping anyone up past their bedtime David.

Steve taught me Eng Lit many, many years ago.

I have a Panther Pedestrian Slicer on my 2010 Ural Gear Up.
