Rotary Owners' Club

Hi guys,here we are in June,any movement on the RGT?J.B.

Probably age?the old switches are getting on a bit now,40+years in some cases.J.B.

Hi dont know if this will set your mind at rest,but many many summers ago I was getting grief from my side stand switch so I just disconnected it and never bothered to have it fixed,(unlike the Commando side stand that dumps you off in the road,the Classic one is much shorter and just give a gentle ...

Why take the risk,use the ones from Startright,J.B.

Hi Tony,you have quite a way to go yet,many Commanders(and a number of IP2 have done a lot more than 100,00 miles,keep up the good work though)and ride safe,J.B.

Point taken,J.B.

Looks very nice,not to sure about the "Norton" on the tank though.J.B.

PS,bet yours was the only Commander, if not the only Rotary ,J.

Hi Tony,
Nice to hear you can still do 300 miles a day,I have to admit I would find it a bit of a struggle myself,ride safe,J.B.

Hi guys,
I am a bit of a fan of the TV motoring program "Bangers & Cash"and the off shoot "Bangers & Cash restoring Classics",browsing through the "Weekend"(The Mail on Saturdays TV magazine)I noticed a very poor picture of a police motorcycle that they were going to restore,"That looks like an IP2 ...

Hi Paul,any chance of some pic's of you project?J.B.

sounds like the starter sprag,I had a similar experience with my Classic,J.B.

February is usually still a bit cold for this old biker,March looked a lot warmer so I taxed the old Deaville 1st of March and have had a couple of nice ride outs with a local biker club.
Not planning on doing any International Rallies this year,but expect to be kept pretty busy with local stuff.
I ...

"A"Reg? must be one of the earliest bikes,looks very nice now though,J.B.

Have fun,ride safe,J.B.

Thank you,ride safe,J.B.

Hi Tone,
I don't do Facebook,but you can definitely ad my name to the attending list,ride safe,J.B.

Although I no longer own a rotory am still a bit of an enthusiast,so count me in for a gathering,J.B.

17,000 miles in almost 40 years!no wonder it looks so clean ,J.B.

Evidently modern cars are now fitted with a "Wet Cambelt"(it runs through the engine oil)anyway,it's a crap idea 'cos the belt is made of a synthetic(a bit like rubber) materia, shreds,breaks and wrecks the engine evil (patient's, I'm getting to the good part)this happened to a friend of mine on a ...

Like Tony said,Richard will be sadly missed,J.B.

Thanks Terry,

I know it is quite irrelevant, but I am almost certain that Richard must be in his late eighties by now.
How I know this is because in the late '90s I went sailing with him on his yacht, and was quite surprised to find out that he was a couple of years older than me (and I will be 85 ...

Unhappily,I appears to be a case of " Crossed Fingers" &"Watch This Space",J.B.

Your right to be concerned,he hasn't "posted" anything on the club website for ages,surely someone out there in "Rotorie Land" must know something,J.B.

Happy New Year fellow Rotarians,and Ride Safe in 2025,J.B.

Good luck for the future Paul,ride safe,J.B.

Like the man says,have a good Christmas,and ride safe in '25,J.B.

I wonder if that is the same bike I spotted at Mathewsons and reported the fact in mid-October in the "General discussions(any other business)section,and as usual, the "Restoration Team"spent way to much on the original purchase(just as well it's not their money they are spending wink) I am quite a ...

Hi James,
Re:the speedo trip metre,
The one on my Classic stopped working very early in the bikes life,almost impossible to repair(so I was informed at the time)finances at the time were a bit limited so I managed to live without a trip metre wink, I got so used to not having one that I never did ...

Hi James,I never had any problems with the tacho on my Classic,so unfortunately I cannot be of any assistance,sorry,seems like you are getting help from our forum,good luck,hope you get it sorted, ride safe,J.B.
