Re: TRL IP2 on eBay Item number: 300474366235
There is a feature on this IP2 and its unique braking system in the next ROC newsletter - actually the one after next because the next one has just been posted, and it probably will not yet have arrived.DC

Re: comp 2 premix
Just heard from the Silkolene distrubutor used by the ROC ....Looks like Comp-2 Pre-mix will continue to be available - but now only in 5 litre cans; he can do it at the same price as the 4 litre cans pro-rata, ie/ 20% more ...Breathe easy chaps ...DC

Re: Who was that then ?
Did we ever discover whose the red Commander was on the Isle of Man featured in Martin Clunes's series 'Island of Britain' - which is being re-run, I notice?

Re: desperately seeking engines ! f1 or commander
Now here's an option ... why not, instead of spending time and a small fortune developing a brand new bike engine, source a few Mazda RX-8 engines and put those in a bike frame? The R&D has already been done by Mazda, and you have a tried and tested power unit.No-one thought any less of Mr Van V...
