A New Motorcycle in Town - Panther Motorcycle

Glen,

Interesting sight, but I think you hit the nail on the head.

I get suspicious when I just see pictures of a concept and fancy words but no pics of a real product or even a prototype.

I see they have quite a selection of clothing and other stuff in their store. Perhaps that's how they may be funding part of thier product that they are trying to sell.  :lol:

Just got back from looking at his IDS site. Those guys need to read up on the second law of thermodynamics.  :lol:  :lol:

The real  Panther works were known locally as "Phelon & Moore`s".

Just a couple of back streets away from my favourite motorcycle shop.

Went there a few times for parts...... Had to duck under the lines of washing to get access.

Happy days!  :thumbup:

I did some checking and the Panther trade mark is still valid and held by the Panther owners club.
however this trade name is only valid in the UK.

What smacks heavily of a scam is they have not registered it in Canada where they are supposed to be based.
The whole thing is rigged with buzzwords that are meant to impress but the odd person who is familiar with some of these can soon poke holes in them.

Diamond coated gear teeth ? Why not make them out of carborundum and have done with it.

Duponts Blue foam as an absorption gel ? I use this and it just flattens out, it doesn't change to a gel.

The biggest problem is though the the guy responsible who posts as three different people searches groups, joins up and them trolls the group until he gets kicked off.

Believe me, you don't want him here.

Even if its not a scam (which I think it is) who would buy a motorcycle from a company with ex CAR industry marketing people at its head.  No design department, not an Engineer in sight, the pictures present something that looks like the wet dream of a 16 year old marketing person.
I was never a big fan of proper Panthers, but at least they were honest.

Amazing. Mr. Erik Brinkman seems to suffer (or it might be he in fact enjoys it...) from a chronic realism deficiency disorder. Is this a politically correct formulation?  :scratch:
