Gerry Yorke
Had a sad message left today from Gerry's daughter Karen, to let me know that Gerry has died.

If I get sent funeral details, I will include them here.

Silkolene 2T
With immediate effect, the new price of Silkolene 2T oil will be £10 per litre; this should still represent a decent saving for members over prices charged elsewhere.
The club has stocks of this oil in both 1 litre and 5 litres bottles.

Re: Shell Rotella DD+40
I think the drums are actually sold as being 209 litres? (which is almost 50 gallons) ...
.... but these are UK gallons (4.546 litres) which are bigger than US gallons (3.785 litres)!!
Confusing, isn't it?

Just to advise all members that the last of the club's stock of Rotella was sold yesterday - (and is now on its way to Portugal).
I will order another 50 gallon drum of Shell to replace it, but in the meantime the only oil I have in stock is the Silkolene 2T.

This bike is known to the club ....
Ex- Mike January machine .... thence to Peter Jackson ... both living in North Wales.
Presumably it's PJ who is selling?
Several non-standard features for those who crave originality; be interesting to see what it fetches ...

Re: Classic starter motor wanted
Clemens has already been contacted .... but he's in Luebeck and this German rotarian lives at the southern end of Germany.
So the quest remains .... anyone have a new starter motor for an air-cooled Norton?
Or know if it's the same as for any other machine?

Hi Mark,
I am sure others will offer opinions, but a good starting point would be to remove the plugs, pour in oil, and then rotate the engine by hand using the rear wheel (machine in gear).

Hugh,
Join the club!!!
Rotella DD+40 is here in Essex - as is Silkolene 2T.
I can get the latter over to (say) Uxbridge or Bristol for collection at your convenience …. the former has to be decanted on site.
