If anyone is wondering, the bike is a late
'50's or early '60's Panther 500cc or 600cc single known by many as
'Slopers'. They were built in Cleckeaton in Yorkshire and basically stayed
the same from about 1920 until the mid '60's. Not the fastest motorcycle
ever made but?epitomised the 'one beat per lamp-post' slow revving Brit
single...

I nearly bought a combo like this aged 16 (
there were no engine capacity restrictions if a chair was attached) but
got a Puch ( Sears Allstate) moped instead...which was possibly faster and
definitely more reliable in the hands of a gormless lad....
