Don't worry Ade! I have a fair respect for the big Pussys. I did a fair mileage as a pillion passenger on a 120 with double adult sidecar.
The rider was an electrician and the sidecar was full of tools, pipe vice, conduit dies, etc.
The only let-down was when the left hand rear suspension shock absorber top bolt sheared under heavy load. :shock: The sidecar came over and gave me a big thump on my left sholder. I had the job of levering the heavy combo up using the pipe vice long legged frame and blocks of wood. A coach large bolt and nut effected a temporary repair and we were on our way again within 30 minutes. 8)
The owner got tired of changing the big end every 60,000 miles and eventually bought a Speed Twin and Steib sidecar.
As a sixteen-year-old, on my one pound, ten shillings a week, I could not afford the coverted Panther and had to keep my Cyclemaster for several months more. :oops:
