Hi DaveHave a look at 'RE5 throttle cable adjustment' in the Technical section of the forum ... that should point you in the right direction.David

Yep, everyone has .... it would have been in the magazine when you joined .... Welcome to club member 1234 Gripper Smith, and then your address.If you can't find it, no worries, just email me and I'll tell you what it is.Cheers,David

I think you might mean this ....DC---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As I notice that there are plenty RE-5 owners whom have problems with theset-up of their carburettor I like to explain how this set-up can be madewithout the need of special tools...

No idea of the name Paul .... who was it who lived next to the Mid-Hants Railway? DC

'ROC' or 'Rotary Owners Club' Ta

Noooooo Roger!Fifteen pounds is the going rate for 2011 membership.BTW all, a pallet of the 'new' Silkolene 2T oil was delivered today. Just got to work out a price for the 5 ltr cans; I haven't bothered in ordering any more of the 1 ltr bottles as hardly anyone wanted them.TTFNDavid

I am not at home at the moment .... but there's Frank in Bude .... and another member with a Commander in Barnstaple.Any good?Can any member with a membership register email Dave contact details?Ta. David

The ROC still has stocks of 1 ltr bottles of Comp-2 ... and is about to lay in stocks of the 5 ltr cans of Classic 2T.Full details will be in the newsletter for members' info.David

Sad news Jannes .... actually, I believe that his Van Veen (#15) is actually alive and well in the UK.DC

I have had it suggested to me, that the rebranding of this oil to come within Silkolene's 'Classic Range', is nothing more than an exercise to save face of whichever individual whose decision it was to delete it from their main range in the first place.DC

I have a club banner - if we can sort a way of getting it to you Richard .... David

Andy Greenwood, he WAS a member - and promises to be so again - but not at present.It is he who is organising the VJMC's Stanford Hall Club Show.DC

I wonder if that wasn't one of the bikes from the late Chris Johnson?Would seem likely given its location?DC

I remember this machine well, built by a Mr Colin French.If memory serves, it was registration no. FGC 1K (or maybe FCG 1K?) but anyway, I was able to find out its whereabouts - and there it was, next door to Medstead & Four Marks Station on the Watercress Line in Hampshire.The bodywork was a vi...

Hello Bill,Why not join the club? Because then you would have access to a membership list, and know that Stewart living in Lagos has several rotary Nortons ....Would you like me to send you a membership form?Cheers,David

If it's the one with the red Commando and the ex-police Commander, then 'yes!'. DC

Hi JohnJust back from a week in Europe on the RE5 and yours was one of 39(!) messages on my answerphone.Andy (above) is the one to contact if you want space at the show; the date clashes with pre-booked tickets to see Ken Dod so it's a no-no for me - but I was hoping that someone from within the clu...

There has been some news on a trip to Norton .... for ROC membersI just need to email them some mutually convenient dates (thinking of Sept / Oct time) - and it will be on a weekday - with a small charge (which apparently pays for a Norton goody bag.)Further details will be in the club newsletter.Da...

Don't forget the club has stocks of various NGKs at (hopefully) unbeatable prices ....David

There are several of these coming up at which the ROC has been represented in the past.Is/are any member(s) willing to step forward and act as the club rep. to co-ordinate attendance, the stand etc?I am thinking of such shows as the Stanford Hall Classic Clubs Show and the Festival of 1000 Bikes et...

2011 Wankeltreffen23rd June to 26th June in Nürnberg (Nuremburg) to celebrate 125 years of the Hercules brand.DC

What truly awful news.Chris had been a member of the ROC for many years and had a red Commander and an Interpol 2 still in its police trim. I shall write to Shirley with my condolences.David

If that's the case, that would be the Deek he bought from ROC member Mick Taylor ...

Hi WayneIt's my understanding that this engine is to go into a Japanese frame to form a special ...DC

Sought by a Swiss ROC member is a Norton F1 engine ...... yeah, I know ...... but should you happen to have a spare one knocking about, there's a guy near Geneva who would be very pleased to hear from you.Get in touch with David in Essex for contact details. Cheers,DC

And Rotella DD+40 has just 0.78% sulphated ash!Too much ash will lead to a heavy carbon build up - with the accompanying problems this brings ...David
