Just got back from Thursby's after asking advise on wheel repairs....

What a treasure trove - great to find. Roy is heavily involved in PC Hard/Software etc but still obviously loves his Ducati's

He showed me a 'works' cylinder head that he modified himself and it is impressive stuff.
Here is a link to a German website for Pantahs that he's been helping with some English translations:

Good to know that some 'little guys' are still out there doing amazing things.
