Rotary Owners' Club

I'm pretty sure Carnells in Doncaster were dealers for a while, I seem to remember one of the bike mags testing a Commander demonstrator on loan from them.

Not sure if this is the video Wayne means, I keep meaning to get my IP2 back on the road and do something similar ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDYzOrnwors

Retired on second lap today, Stuart Garner has been on Twitter saying the tyre spun 180 degrees on the rim

It's disappeared from Senior timing today after 2 laps, no mention of a crash so I guess it's broken

My maths are not up to much either so I just use this site, http://www.mpg-calculator.co.uk/ 155 miles and 22 Litres comes out as 32.03 MPG

The bike was certainly impressive, and according to the information boards in the paddock they are hoping to make some high end track bikes followed by road bikes. I got the impression they'd had a few problems on the day but that's only to be expected with a new bike.

Seems as though the 700cc rotary is not dead yet, It's going to be at the Festival of a 1000 bikes apparently

If they insist on charging for legal cover I'd tell them where to go, if anyone is in a trade union check as they might already provide it for you, I know ASLEF do. There's also a thing called an 'after the event policy' I didn't know about the union cover last year when I got knocked off my Triumph...

I've just seen a post from the VMCC on facebook, they say track places are selling fast with 50% sold in the first week, so get booking if you want to ride around the circuit !

Just done a bit of searching and according to bizzy.co.uk nash morgan has been dissolved, sorry to be the bearer of bad news !

Goodridge do a banjo bolt (single or double length) with a built in brake light switch, I've never used one so can't tell you what sort of pressure they work at.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EBC-Bremsscheiben ... dae80eeAre these any good for you or are you looking for originals ? not cheap though ! and do EBC still produce them ?

It's been relisted, have a look in the for sale and wanted section of the forum for some more info.

e-mail sent, and reply recieved, they say a decision is due soon.

And this, with a commander lurking in the background, whose colour scheme would that be ?

Just found this, it certainly looks a compact engine for a plane.

Looks like Opie oils are out too, oil was delivered and they've sent the new universal comp 2, I'm not happy about using it so it's going back, no doubt it would be ok, but I don't want to be stuck with 16 litres of the stuff if it's not !

Those who use comp 2 should consider stocking up (if they can find it) as it's no longer being produced, I called in to Startright last week and Graham had none left, he rang Silkolene to find out if the replacement (intended for premix or injector) was suitable but was still waiting for an answer. ...

It's a while since I bought motorcycle oil in France but the price was always extortonate, is it worth ordering from the uk, http://www.opieoils.co.uk/ have comp 2 premix and do a discount for forum members, they also list France on the postage charges, not sure if Graham at Startrights can post abr...

Browsing the (Garner) Norton online shop I noticed this belt buckle, surely the Union flag is upside down, is this a cry for help ? Norton%20Union%20Jack%20Belt%20Buckle%20(1).jpg

They've moved, found this on a Harley forum, "Hi, Prestige Plating have done loads of work for me. Superb quality, great service and very friendly people. There new address is Unit 6, Cliff Street Ind. Est. Mexborough, South Yorkshire, S64 9HU. Tel : 01709 577 004." Not far from me, must r...

I've got a feeling that "zonder motor" translates to without motor ! still, it might appeal to someone.

33 1 MotorcycleNorton, P55B, year built 1992, Motorcycle, chassis: 50348, km-stand op teller: 86 km (zonder motor!) I just downloaded the auction catalogue, lot 33 might interest some people here.

http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/General-news/2010/April/apr0110-treasure-trove-of-nortons-found/ Well not quite new, but 11 crated up 850 commandos, thought it was MCNs April 1st joke, but followed the link to the auction room and it seems genuine ! I think I'd rather have one of...

I had every intention of diving in at the last minute, and out-bidding the lot of you ! but was so busy in the kitchen I forgot , damn ! same thing happened last year when those new brake discs came up, must remember to bid earlier next time.

Hi john, for the classic wiring diagram have a look at the startright web site, Graham has a downloadable diagram in the rotary technical section.

The February issue of Motorcycle Sport and Leisure just dropped through my letter box, complete with photo of the bike with the dodgy front mud guard, I'd like to see them change that as quickly ! Still no sign of a dual seat version which is the only one that would interest me ( if I could afford i...

not a clue, but the third one is giving me vertigo just looking at it !

Perhaps someone will write in to tell me that they got done for not displaying ... Yes, afraid so, and to rub salt in the wound the tax disc had only been off the bike for about 30 minutes ! It was an old kawi gt750 (the most under rated bike of all time in my opinion) I fitted a full fairing every...

Hopefully a nice easy one, what was the left hand petrol tap on an IP2 for ? if I fit one will I be able to switch to reserve without losing control of throttle and brake, nine times out of ten mine needs reserve at the most awkard moment possible, normally through the nice twisty bits on the way to...
