Rotary Owners' Club

Oh Rustynuts I think you are closer than you think unless that was a bit of a clever line

What competition? I never read the MCN as normally full of P##P

Thanks Malc I shall worry no more I was worried on the toy run that the bike was getting up to 150c on the slow crawl thru the town waving at everyone watching the procession of biking Santa's but I guess 150c is not too hot then.

I find some of this hard to follow as I have fitted a brand new thermocouple and temperature gauge to my bike because of this. I keep reading stories of high engine temperatures so I fitted everything new as my engine normally runs at about 100c, I have never had it go above 150c yet, thus I thought...

Well three of us made it and what a day it was, I was told it could have been as many as 4000 bikes on the run. Myself on my IP2 and David Brown on his Cafe Racer special attended as did a chap called Bob who chatted quickly as we left for the run, he was on his Commander. I have added pictures in t...

TRL I know the Army did do a test of cylinder head / Valve seat wear with these on the T140's they were using and found that the valve seats using unleaded wore faster than those using the cat. I know this is true as one of my Vehicle mechanic mates while I was in the Army (REME) took part in the te...

Well I know the first one but the other two are well beyond my limited thought process

Errmm well I am not going to say as I lived close by for six months but had to catch the ferry then

You can buy these from Maplins if you have one local. I fitted one to the back of my Defender Land Rover and that got driven up rivers and it survived ok cool They also sell the high current wire required and a sealed fuse assy and you can speak to someone and tell them your requirements. Gosh I sou...

Oh Oh I have some of them already, just hope Santa brings me the big Danglies for Xmas

You beat me to it Graham

rogerdodger you could always email the pictures to myself, Richard or Graham and we could upload them for you, I am sure any of us would be happy to create a gallery for you I am happy to do so if you want.

I think you have done a great job Graham and the site has developed well over the short time I have been a Rotary owner compared to you old souls out there

Richard you owe me a tenner

Gary its on a Sunday, I am sure you would be closed but thanks for the offer. I still have to drop by about the gear oil also.Paul

Hi all probably the biggest and best Christmas Toy Run is on again in Reading on the 6th December. This run is in aid of Barnardo's so a worth while trip out.Hope to see you there, I am going to be the Santa Express IP2 http://www.readingtoyrun.org/Paul

I think it may re-design from a Rotary race bike to a multi cylinder engine but who am I to say And how could any new road rotary surpass the IP2

No offence meant Malc about Tony but if I remember rightly when he left Norton Motors he formed his own cleaning company but please correct me if I am wrong Mind you why has there been so much secretcy over Brian leaving and nothing in MCN as said earlier by someone??

Tony Squires is now stated as the Rotary expert at Norton and he can also clean up after

Crumbs don't say that Graham just made it easier

Because they dont know yet I guess, this info came from a very good source so I believe it to be true but who knows ???

The answer to the above two questions is yes Do you know how many weeks I wanted to say that, you heard it here first Brian has left Norton Racing as far as I have been informed.

Looks like an empty shed to me I have more parts on my garage floor

I am running on Comp 2 without adjusting the oil feed and I have found it works really well, my pump is set to align as per Richard's instructions which is about 1800rpm if I remember correctly.

That's a good point Malc as my IP2 runs slightly cooler now running on Iridium 9 grade plugs.

I have Interpol and Classic chain case oil seals brand new if you need one.PAul

The bike in question is a Commander in grey if that is what you meant?

The Norton website says that they are now ready to produce the Commando and will look at a road rotor by 2010 ... really

Haha Mr. Cryptic messages very clever

Has anyone tried the Additive Activ8 in their engine? It states that it is excellent in rotary engines and they claim it was used on the NMM racers. I am thinking of giving it a try as it claims to reduce friction and sticking between moving parts by 90% etc etc.Any thoughts?
