That is quite a set of tires on that motorcycle. Headed out for a run through the wilderness? Or at lease some gravel/dirt roads? Looks like fun.

Tyres are copies of threads which have been common in the 1940ies to 1960ies produced in Japan (this they are friggin expensive) and are actually made for off-road use ...

After all that resto-work I just mounted them for the look rather than for actual dirtroad use - simply I want to keep the value of the bike

Very cold in the Chew Valley this morning (-4 degrees Celsius) so tweed is the order of the day.

I’ve just been listening to Kings of the Wild Frontier (Adam & the Ants, 1980). There’s an ear worm, and that Hussar’s pelisse (I dearly wanted that jacket - the epitome of cool). I had heard/read that it was the same jacket that Hendrix wore -any truth in that?

Yep!

Depending on the year if built the regulations in Germany to get a motorbike roadworthy are more or less strict. My PAN was built 1948 which makes it rather easy to fulfill legal requirements.

For vehicles that old you don‘t even need turn indicators.
48 Pan....hey give us a little (lot) eye candy. Don’t be shy. Wear whatever ya want!

I love that album. I don't know about the Hendrix connection, but I believe (possibly from Adam's biography but must re-check) that the hussar jacket was one of the pieces used in the movie The Charge of the Light Brigade.
