Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

It really surprised me to hear how rare Pantahs are outside Oz, they did really well in a wet Production race against way bigger bikes, those races sold a lot of bikes back then.
 
Briefly,as I was first away😂😂. Just a good bunch of blokes who ride way too fast for me, so I just bumble along and catch them up at the store. There generally just having there first bite of their pie or donut when I catch up😂😂👍

Sounds like the bunch I used to Trail Ride with, they all rode big Japanese and 4-valve Ducatis at Jail inducing speeds on Road Rides and after lots lost their licences trying to ride as most of them did decades back they moved into Adventure Riding on less heavily Policed dirt routes. The last story I heard involved leaving the Cops for dead while heading to The Oxley and that resulted in that Cop and others visiting various Pubs in Walca looking for riders wearing particular Leathers and Helmets of a certain colour on known bike types but no actual number plates recorded. It got really ugly fast. Not my way to have a fun weekend away. You might remember my mate Sam on the Bevel Marty, he is completely nuts and has the tickets to prove it.

Vince, I have lived in the USA since the early 80s and to date, I have never seen a Pantah anywhere, not even in Guy Webster's collection and he had more Ducatis than anyone. Quite a few 750 F1 and Montjuic models are in collections but never on the road (except for La Carrera races).
 
You don’t see many in the Uk either except at bike shows, rather like Monty’s.
However, here’s a nice looking one for sale.
That’s being sold from the old Hughenden M40 site, my old workshop!
