If we still had signatures you could see a lot of us have old ducs too
Whats a classic now anyway ? Some people are calling the 916 a classic already and its only 15 !
I've got a '72 roundcase 750 sport, '74 450 mk3, '74 350 mk3, 2 x 350mk3 racebikes, and an '81 harris tt2 replica.
They are all new-fangled compared to my '59 velocette 500 racebikes

I`ve still got my 83` Jota and will never part will it or my 998s for that matter.

All I want is a nice 350 or 450 Duke to re build and play with.

Very rare in the UK. Like to know how it got here. Someone buy it before I do! I want one, but I've got too many on the go at the moment.

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???

[KeefyB]

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.
