In late 2007 I started to put new information
into Wikipedia as a better place for detailed information on models. I
have to date duplicated this in the Panther Page. However in due course
I may remove this duplication from the Panther Page, depending on how
Wikipedia develops.
On 24th December 2003 OzEmail, who have hosted
the Panther Page, since its inception deleted my account without
notice. I have a very early contract with them which charges only for
dial-up for email access not web hosting so they have not recieved
anything from me for several years. So it is not surprising they wanted
me to move on. I don't believe the contract we have allows them to do
that, but life's too short. So in early January 2004 I moved the site
temporarily to Geocities and now, hopefully more permanently, to the
Panther Owners Club site. Taking advantage of that move I have also
relocated tha Panther Pictures site off Geocities to the POC site.
Hans van de Geer has been working on a Literature
List for a couple of weeks now and has had input from several people on
the email list. This goes live on 01/04/98. Further updates, in form
and
content, are anticipated over the next few weeks.
At the AGM in November 1997 the POC gave official backing to the Panther Page
and I will be putting more POC related material up in the near future.
I have slightly restructured the page to accomodate these changes and
to
tidy up the appearance of the intro pages (08/11/97)
This site has been included on a CD-Rom of motorcycle Web pages
called Internet Moto, part of the One Way series produced Shendene
Associati of Milano.
I have been corresponding with Barry Jones, author of The Book , recently and have plenty
of useful suggestion and additions. I have incorporated most of his
comments
throughout the above model descriptions and gratefully acknowledge his
contribution.
Apparently this web page recieved a mention in the Jan '96 issue of
British Bike (now Motorcycle Classics).
A letter in Sloper in December '95 generated a reasonable amount of
interest and so far I have received email from seven POC members (rather to my surprise). I
have received some constructive criticism and will be updating the page
in the next month or so (mostly in relation to twins and two-strokes
and hopefully a couple of extra pictures). There are other Panther
pictures on the net: Other Motorcycle Links
. There may be sufficient Panther fans on the net to set up
a listserver (I would envisage something with a very low signal level
and
nearly zero noise level) - any interest?
This page got a mention on the BritIron list in early July '95 and I
have had sufficient feedback to encourage me to put in some more
effort. Also the questions that I was asked indicated the type of
things people want
to know. I am now including a faq section and one on Panther lore. I
will
also increase the number of pictures when I can get time on the
scanner.
