The Perfected Motorcycle

Grappling with a Panther

By: Nick Adams

Narrated by: Nick Adams

The Panther M120 was the last in a line of large, single-cylinder motorcycles built by the Phelon and Moore Company in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire. As a teenager, Nick had two Panthers. His first big motorbikes. Although he enjoyed them at the time, he did not treat them well—a source of regret for over 50 years. His affection for those old, single-cylinder sloggers never left, and when the opportunity arose to acquire one later in life, he jumped at it. Would it live up to his memories and fulfil that desire to recapture some of his lost youth? Would it be suited to exploring the back roads of Canada?

Would it ever be reliable enough to trust far from home? There’s only one way to find out.

This is the story of one man's affection for these robust and charismatic motorcycles.

Another wonderful book from the Great White North

Nick Adams never fails to bring a great story to the table. It is quite a joy to listen as he grapples with his fascination with this machine repeatedly and often gives into it's beck and call. Motorcycles are fickle machines at times and Nick explains that the owners of these machines can be even more fickle. While some are exceptionally anal about the most meticulous of details and care, others are quite content with the use of duct tape and zip ties. This book shows that there is a happy medium between the two

Nick's narration is quite pleasant and easy to listen to. As he has done in all of his books, Nicks delivery gives the listener a relaxing tone even through the hardest of moments. Another great one.
