Good article about the old nail bevel SS in the latest 'Classic Bike' magazine.;)

1989 851 , does that count ? :D :D

yes in 2014!
Until then it's worthless. So you might as well give it to me to look after........

hehe I,m tempted but maybe I should just rebuild it this winter :D

Just sold my Duc' Monza race bike, still got my Aermacchi 350 to play on though.....

I am or should I say John Mossey Restorations are currently restoring my Pantah 600. Not quite a classic as mine's a 1986 model, but getting there.

On this subject I'm having a little difference of opinion with the engineer resoring the bike. He will be shortly sending everything to paint and wanted to know if I wanted the wheels painted gold (as they are now) or silver as they were originally.

In all the photos I have the wheels are always gold. I cant find any pictures of the bike with silver wheels. Mine is a 600cc Pantah in the silver blue bodywork, so the silver wheels wouldlook better but I want to restore this to the original state so my head says gold.

Who is right the restorer or all the pitures I have???

Every Pantah I have seen has the wheels in gold.
The only bikes I can remember with silver wheels was the much later TL version and the Cagiva Allazzura.

Who's that then???

I'm Chris but I haven't got a dodgy tache. Got a 59 Norton Domi and a 72 RGV250 though:D
