Peterborough Panthers 2020

[Lukas 911]

Would love to be In the mindset to get into a debate about Bombers seat. But haven't got the energy when realistically we are not even gonna get the chance to see him flying round the boards.. really fear for no speedway this season:-(

Do you know of any pics of Bombers new bikes Taps. I couldn't find any on the Panthers website 

Edit... Found one. It does look a bit dangerous, if i'm being honest. Could get handlebars and elbows caught in it. Looks good though.

 

Upright Speedway@UprightSpeedway - I saw @jeffdavies170 photo of @BomberHarris37's new bike. Gotta say I wasn't keen on the overall look so I changed a couple of things with photoshop. It's definitely looking better now

Hi, sorry for a silly question in such tough times. I have been watching old videos on YouTube from the 70's and 80's of the panthers. I remember in about 1979 or 1980 a British championship 1/4 final at the showground that was won by Andy Hines with a maximum. There was a panthers rider at reserve who scored 7 pts from 3 rides but I cannot remember who. Ian barney? Adrian pepper? Adrian smith? And buck? For thoses with long memories,  can somebody tell me who it was? Thank you.

Just stick a year and some keywords in the search and follow the links - often find some decent if random stuff that way

If you have a little bit of time and not looking for anything too specific then that should be ok

Enjoy!!

Thanks. I did find the Wills Internationale of '79 this morning, but Panthers is a different kettle fish. I have got Panthers '95 DVD including the infamous Ben Howe, Ronni Pedersen, and Donkey episode. Worth looking at again

speedwayondisc is a good  YouTube channel to search up. Lots of small clips of all sorts

Martin Hepworth has some good content too of more modern stuff

Proper derby stuff that incident

Thanks again. Proper derby stuff, even if dangerous; but there aren't the characters ( and they had to be bad, in a nice way, like Jack Millen ) about nowadays to get the crowds in.
