Lukas 911 Posted March 15, 2020 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:-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newlynboy 1 Posted April 1, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have got Panthers '95 DVD including the infamous Ben Howe, Ronni Pedersen, and Donkey episode. Worth looking at again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
