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..
And relaaaax , hope you are feeling more like your old self after whatever it was that kept you out of the saddle . At the moment i don't think i would be as sprightly as Angie is whilst trying to emerge from the sidecar !!
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.
Really nice to see you both again, I’m also on a forced break from my bikes and your videos have de stressed me and as you said it’s not fear of your bike but one of the unknown energy level, I really get that Well done can’t wait for more content from you
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 👍
So glad to see you back I was really missing riding along with you on those beautiful old Panthers and listening to your wonderful words of wisdom… Win any more SOCKS? 😊
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.
Very pleased to see you back in the saddle after your extended MOT! Go steady on those kick starts, I look forward to many more videos from your stable! Best wishes from Kevin.
Great to see you back, excellent video as usual. Hope you are soon back to full compression. Angie let you off with only four plants, I would never have got away with that, if Vivienne only buys single figure numbers I think I am doing well.
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.
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 Thorspark supply a a great product for the electronic ignition as follows: • Single cylinder mag dyno's with face cam points, Lucas mo1, mo1l, moil • Single cylinder magdyno's with slip/cam ring points, Lucas mo1, k1f, k1fc • Twin cylinder magnetos with slip ring points, k2f, mn2, k2fc • Lucas mn1e for square fours • Single cylinder Lucas sr1, n1, etc, also sr2 for twins • bth magnetos, kd1, dirt track, kc1, kc2 and others the catch then is to have a good battery and charging dyno.
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.
I owned a Ural russian. Side car rig. Me and my loved one used to ride to. Vancouver Washington. To Astoria Oregon northwest. We always held are breath. For we never new when she would have a valve stick. I alway carried. A full pack of spanners and. Assorted tools. All part of the adventure of owning a Ural. Lemay. Nelson. Vancouver Washington. Pacific northwest
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...

You have been missed. Glad to see you back.

Good to see Panther and pilot both in fine fettle once again❤
nice to hear the purr of the panther once more
what a lovely expedition to be part of - peace and quiet almost all the way and back. thank you.
Delighted to see you back and I enjoyed your video, as I always do.
And relaaaax , hope you are feeling more like your old self after whatever it was that kept you out of the saddle . At the moment i don't think i would be as sprightly as Angie is whilst trying to emerge from the sidecar !!
A welcome return to the saddle, and to the airwaves for us POC enthusiasts. A lovely outing.

Great to see you back in the saddle. When you and Angie are purring along in the Panther outfit then all is well in the world
Lovely video man and machine in total harmony, thanks for sharing
She’s running a treat Jonathan, a credit to you. Well done.
It's made my day to see a fresh POC video! Thankyou as always, and wishing you a speedy recovery for whatever has been keeping you out of the saddle.
Great to see you back again.
Many thanks for your great video..... looking forward to many more of them..😊
Ah good lady in the sidecar, sun is shining, willows are weeping, roads are dry and tyres sticky, whats not to like!
Great stuff as always Jonathan, glad to have you all back!

Good to have you back again and wonderful video.
Believe it of not I was just thinking about you and your last video, so good to see you back
same here just last week 🤔.
Delighted to have you back again ,many thanks.
Great to see you back again. Missed your restorations of the model 50 and ride outs with the POC and VMCC.
So glad to see you back
I was really missing riding along with you on those beautiful old Panthers and listening to your wonderful words of wisdom…

It's a disease Wayne, and as you probably know there is no cure. So best just to enjoy it.
Lovely sounding bike on a summer's day 😎👍
Hope you are doing OK now JJ. Great to have you and the Panthers back!
Good to see you back in the saddle... Stay safe and well.
Very pleased to see you back in the saddle after your extended MOT!
Go steady on those kick starts, I look forward to many more videos from your stable!

Sounds like one of our car trips in AUS, my wife rarely fails to find some pot plants somewhere 😁 . Lovely video , safe travels
What a lovely video, welcome back.
Great to have you back riding. Hope all is well.
great to see you back.
Lovely trip out. I am looking forward to the next instalment!
Great to see you back, excellent video as usual. Hope you are soon back to full compression. Angie let you off with only four plants, I would never have got away with that, if Vivienne only buys single figure numbers I think I am doing well.
Just a matter of space, or lack of it.
Jonathan, nice to see you back. You've been missed
Excellent, as always. Glad to see you back.
Fantastic day out & fabulous weather. Thanks for sharing 👍
Glad your back love your videos. Looks like a new carb as well if my glazzies are not deceiving me.
Yes indeed. Me breaking the 'only change one variable at a time' rule again...
Magical.
Hi there how are you good to see you are back
wow nice to have you back missed you thank you
Lovely ride out.
Welcome back.
Bike sounds sweet, old guy riding is doing just fine, (note avatar) says another old guy who still rides...
Could you go into detail on the sidecar brake? I have recently bought a sidecar and I am completely rebuilding the suspension and frame.
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.
Or you could do it like the Jawa 350 two stroke with Velorex sidecar. Speak to the chaps at F2Motorcycles the UK Jawa Velorex people. They sell parts.
What did the mag rebuild cost? And do they make an electronic ignition for the M120?
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 Is there a way to do away with the points. Thank you.
@@PantherOwnersClub1 Thorspark supply a a great product for the electronic ignition as follows:
• Single cylinder mag dyno's with face cam points, Lucas mo1, mo1l, moil
• Single cylinder magdyno's with slip/cam ring points, Lucas mo1, k1f, k1fc
• Twin cylinder magnetos with slip ring points, k2f, mn2, k2fc
• Lucas mn1e for square fours
• Single cylinder Lucas sr1, n1, etc, also sr2 for twins
• bth magnetos, kd1, dirt track, kc1, kc2 and others
the catch then is to have a good battery and charging dyno.
Looking at the air filter it seems to not been connected to the carb
Well spotted Clive. Remedied!
Hi how do you set your steering damper on your combo please
