Pan Talk was a periodical magazine which was published on the club’s website for 4 years between 2013 and 2016.  It started life in 2002 as a word processed document, printed and posted out to members roughly 4 times per year.  At the time the club was dedicated to owners of Pan European motorcycle – hence the title.   This publication had died a death long before I joined the club in late 2011.

I resurrected the idea soon after I had been with the club for a year and kept it going for 15 editions – so nearly 4 years.  Club rides, members individual tours, social events and anything else that members offered.  Combined with odd snippets which really didn’t have a regular slot. The monthly rides out were a good regular offering, but I was never short of contributions from members to include.

Most club members have moved on from Pan Europeans.  It is 10 years since the last UK model came off the production line in 2014 – The ST1300AE – but the articles about club rides, the routes, the maps, the photos, the events and the people are all relevant and may still be of interest.

I maintained a running index at the back of each publication which I copied and updated for each new publication to include the new content.  So if I am looking for something in particular, then the back of Dec 2016 is where I go to first.

PanTalk articles have been provided by members, and are provided for interest only – they are not kept up to date, and we cannot guarantee their accuracy.  Often articles relate to a members’ experience rather than to a recommended way of doing things.  You are the person who is responsible for the way that you ride, how you look after your bike, and for knowledge of the highway code and the appropriate Road Traffic Acts.  Nothing in PanTalk should be regarded as a substitute for your own knowledge, skills and judgement.
