wakefield would be good. or eastern creek if we must. I wouldn't mind going to Oran Park again on the mille. i'm sure the neighbours would appreciate it. serves them right for building houses where the track lived.

OK guys don't let the fire go out on your Symposium! Every time I try and let a year go by without one all the guys drag me back in. Thanks Cranky Roller! Lou

Thanks Lou. Graeme, originally it was bored to 86mm and stroked to 62mm giving 720cc. I talked to Pete Smith on the phone and he said it locked up in a race. I'd say the billet crank broke as it is not in the parts I got. As I said to Pete, I want to preserve it and hear it run again. So it's standard 52mm stroke 86mm bore or find someone that can build a crank. Any ideas? But at this stage i'm after main bearings. They are very elusive, nil in stock, no longer available! But surely in Ducati land there are 2 left??? Boucher.


Hi Boucher,

There are two guys in Holland working right now on Paralel Twin race bikes, one of them is behind this site : http://panigaletwins.nl/wordpress/
They have nasty ideas but also many many other projects in the shed so its taking them a looong time but they both sit on quiet a heap of parts.

Cheers, Ron

I would be in on the symposium if its on the east coast.
and wile we are on the subject wont smitho build you a crank he most likely built the original ( very clever guy and helpful too )
and also it would be nice to see if someone still has the epicycle TL Pantah race bike with that rising rate rear end it was a work of art and last I heard was in NZ.
anyway good luck with this one I think you are very lucky to own one of the Petes toys ( iam very envious ) he did love to experiment???
Regards Al

I spent the Christmas break matching and brush touching up the old paint. Then a few coats of clear with new seat foam. I was trying to preserve the old paint. I think it works out ok. And these are the rods and pistons i hope to use. The rods are from a Fiat a112? Exactly the same dimensions as old ones. Just a wee bit stronger. And the pistons are from Ferracci 86mm monster pistons. A bit lower comp, unless someone out there has pantah 86mm dia 18mm gudgeon pin pistons. Oh yes I'm having fun!!! Boucher.
