Title: 1960 Panther riding 'slow TV'
Post by: nick949 on December 04, 2020, 11:13:52 AM

Time on your hands?
Locked down?
Fancy going for a ride?
Here's almost 20 minutes of 'slow TV' on my 1960 Panther.
Stay well folks.

Panther qualifies as a cool bike I wouldn't mind owning.

Very nice

Great vid Nick!  A very fine Panther.

Is that first bridge a turn bridge?  It looks like maybe another turn bridge over the lock?  Tell us about the bridges and canal!

Hi SED,
     Both bridges are across the Rideau Canal http://www.rideau-info.com/ (http://www.rideau-info.com/) World Heritage site. The long bridge is a swing bridge at Brass Point Road.  The shorter one near the end is a lift bridge over the lock at Lower Brewers.  The canal was build shortly after the War of 1812 transport route to Ottawa, away from the border with those pesky Americans.

Thanks Nick!  I spent a very pleasant 3/4 hour reading about the Rideau canal, it's construction and even exploring with google satellite view.  Looks like great riding around there.
