    I only have to hear the first two or three words of a POC video and my stress levels fall away dramatically ! - Even the traffic lights at 'pop-up' roadworks (at 4:50, the usual type with no actual work going on..) turn green for POC.. and after the mag rebuild the old girl is a genuine one-kicker now ! - Great to see you back on the road again, fantastic stuff as always..

    Always a good day to see a new film from you. Hoping you’re feeling better after the absence. Fascinating sky you were travelling under . Nice to see the outfit back to full strength again. My own sidecar body is succumbing to crumbling fibreboard skin panels. Ah well a lesson learned.

    I would have asked for both your autographs, but there's a large pond between us. The Panther I have has four wheels, the last body on frame American car (built in Canada till 2011) a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis, one of three models, the others being the Ford Crown Victoria, and the Lincoln Town Car. All built on the Panther platform for more than forty five years, with various changes, in a hamlet named after Colonel Talbot, a British army officer who set up many settlements all over south western Ontario. Your Panthers are wonderful foils for your perspective that gives inspiration to carry on with what we know leading us to explore what we don't.

    Hope both yourself and Angie are well, and whatever medical issues, have been resolved. The motorcycle combination looks and sounds superb, and I am glad to hear you have found and fixed the starting issues. As a long time motor mechanic, possibly the only thing I could not restore and test myself would be a magneto, good you know someone who can. Thank you for another video, much appreciated. Stay well and best wishes 👍

    Could you go into detail on the sidecar brake? I have recently bought a sidecar and I am completely rebuilding the suspension and frame.

    • @PantherOwnersClub1
      @PantherOwnersClub1  3 місяці тому +1

      Big advantage of the Panther's interchangeable full-width hubs is the equal braking effort on all three wheels. I set the sidecar pedal a fraction below the motorcycle's lever so that my foot can tilt to compensate for any slight difference. For a demo of full-on emergency braking see the Rat Run video on this channel, about 14 minutes in.

    What did the mag rebuild cost? And do they make an electronic ignition for the M120?

    • @PantherOwnersClub1
      @PantherOwnersClub1  3 місяці тому

      I'm not aware of an off-the-shelf electronic ignition to replace the Lucas magneto Lee. I would expect to pay around £200 for a rebuild now, depending on your unit's condition.

    • @PantherOwnersClub1
      @PantherOwnersClub1  3 місяці тому

      P&M intended the big Panthers to be used with a sidecar and although the fork geometry may be something of a compromise, to permit solo use as well, I have never done more than nip up the steering damper. There is only the merest flutter of the handlebars at 10mph or so.

    Very nice, glad you got the problem solved... I notice that the rubber tube between the carburetor and the air box/filter is not aligned properly. you will be getting unfiltered air into the engine...
