PHANTOM Motorcycles - The Ghost Who Rides
Posted Image
Phantom Manufacturing Co
 
     In 1929 the last motorcycle rolled out of the Phantom Manufacturing Co. works near Cambridge shortly before the mysterious disappearance and surmised deaths of the three founders of that great company. Yet, despite this seemingly unsurmountable obstacle, the company has been able to recently reopen and has produced its first new vintage motorbike since that fateful day in 1929. But how is this possible? The only surviving member of that original company, Mrs. Mabel Ramsbottom, will be 119 years old this year!

     Okay, okay, where are we going? What is this? I wanted to know something about a bike company by the name of Phantom I had chanced upon on wiki and as I googled into a possible link of the one I was looking for, The Phantom, (http://www.thephantom.co.uk/) I read what I had copy pasted above. It was one of those ‘what-the’ things, but thought let me ‘continue reading’ and so…

For those of you familiar with the history of the Phantom Manufacturing Company, you will be aware that Mrs. Ramsbottom, company secretary, has been in spiritual contact with the three founders, Erasmus Thump, Enoch Podsnap and Titus Bottomly for many years now. Just recently, the location of the lost key of the Phantom works was revealed to her by none other than the spirit of Erasmus Thump himself!

     This was getting way weird, in the search for a vintage motorcycle, I stumbled upon a fiction! But it is turning out to be interesting, so… Mrs. Ramsbottom carried out subsequent commands from the founders with an eye towards reopening the works as a going concern. After locating the lost trust accounts of the firm, missing since 1929, she hired a team of industrial cleaners and mechanics to spruce up the old works and bring back the existing production machinery to working standard.

Don’t ask me, I am a lost as ever and really hoping soon everything would make sense. Continuing... That work being accomplished, Mrs. Ramsbottom, together with the spirits of the founders, interviewed a selection of men to undertake the production tasks in support of the designs and plans of the founders. In due course, three somewhat grizzled men named Richard, Edward and Mark were selected, (owing in no small part to the fact that they were the only candidates willing to work for half a crown per month). Their task is to make in metal, the visions of the founders, and ensure the finished product is sold and supported for the betterment of The Phantom Manufacturing Company.

These chaps have been beavering away quietly in the works for the better part of two years, and now the time has come to unveil their handiwork -- the first new Phantom vintage motorbike since 1929....code-named, 'Erasmus' Gamble. Okay, so there was a company by the name of Phantom Motorcycles way back in 1919 formed by 3 gentleman and a lady and now after almost a century, some passionate guys from the U.K (see the website, they are from U.K) are bringing back the brand from the dead. Now it is getting interesting, but why a brand which probably very few have ever heard of, leave along seen it.

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of crackpot inventors, a dimension of mad old company secretaries, a dimension of antique motorcycles. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas; you've just crossed over into the Phantom Zone."
