Hello,
I though somebody may be interested in this, I have no connection and don't think I know the bike. No mention of chassis No. or reg....... A grey Norton Commander for sale on ebay, item No. 172749100908 £1,750.00 so far with just one bid and two days left. Ending Thursday.

Regards, Joe.

Hello Dale,

And for more confusion, 00-4229 is the Twin Rotor Idling Supplement so more applicable.

Regards, Joe

Hello Dale,

00-4236 refers to the Norton Classic Workshop Manual Supplement and should be read with the Interpol 2 Police Operators Workshop Manual Part Number. 00-4228. 00-4237 is the Norton Classic Replacement Parts Catalogue.

Regards, Joe.

Hello Barney, First of all, good on you for being able to remove the plug lead all be it with a little effort, I can't even see mine. I suspect the most likely cause of your problems are wiring, remember these bikes are over twenty years old now. Check the three pin plug and socket which feeds the c...

Hello Mick,

Sounds like Paul has come to your rescue. Good news.

I believe A.B.E. can also regrind discs if you have enough metal left.

Do you have any of the Norton type key rings left?

Regards, Joe

Nice one Gerald, Thanks for arranging the show and club stand.
I've never been here before so nows my chance.
See you there, Joe.

Hello,

I just wanted to say "Hurrah" to Graham for all of his hard work maintaining this forum, well done.

Keep up the good work.

Kind regards, Joe.

Hello All, The Audi Museum in Ingolstadt are putting on a Wankel exhibition to celebrate 60 years of the NSU / Wankel engine. The show runs from the 20th of May to the 5th of November 2017. Best of all this years Wankel Treffen is just an hour away from the museum so I think it's a must for us to at...

Hello,

I'm looking for a Commander Krauser dual seat.
If anybody can help please P.M. me.

Regards, Joe.

Hello Graham, Try Startright for an Krauser rear end, I bought one from Graham many years ago and the hockey sticks you won't have a problem finding. Alternatively and not much help to you, I do have a new unused spare which could be copied if needs be but I'm too busy to do it. The biggest problem ...

Hello all, Another excellent Rotary article is in this months Old Bike Mart. It's written by club member Roger our leading RE5 expert and well worth the read featuring well described photos and explanations...... Sorry Rog, I haven't sold this very well, anyway, have a read and make your own minds u...

Hello Dave, You are a lucky man, I tried to win it too with no luck. In fact I know your bike very well. It belonged to friend and R.O.C. member Pete who bought the bike inspired after I purchased an F1 Sport, I assisted Pete delivering your bike to the auction at Stafford. As soon as tickets became...

Hello JB,

I've just returned from a weekend away. when I get a chance tomorrow I'll email you the details.

Regards, Joe.

Hello all,

The details are now in for this years Wankel Trefen in Nürnburg. If anyone is interested please get in touch and I'll pass on the hotel details. Rooms are selling out fast.

Regards, Joe.

Hello Sid,

I agree, it's a very nice bike and a fair price too, shame the seller has to move it on for health reasons and can't enjoy it.

Regards, Joe.

Thanks JB, I'm on the mend now. It's only a fractured skull, nothing serious. Hopefully back on two wheels in a month or so.

I always thought work is bad for your health, now I know for sure.

Regards, Joe.

In April's Old Bike Mart there is an article on Suzuki RE5 from club member Glenn. It's two pages and a very good read.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I'm getting over a recent very seious head injury.

Enjoy, Joe.

Very impressive Glenn. You've put a lot of hard work into transforming your bike, well done. I wouldn't like to follow you for too long though, very noisey.
Regards, Joe

Brill, sounds good. If I'm off work I'll be there.

Regards, Joe

Hello Dale, Welcom to the Forum. Thats great news of your recent purchase, there are a few of us Classic owners here and I know you'll love riding it, they are a joy to ride and simple to own and maintain. Having owned a W2000 you'll be no stranger to the various types of oil available. Rotella DD 4...

Hello Campbell,

I remember it well, and they've all been better since then.

I hope you can make it.

Regards, Joe.

The dates are now in for this years WankelTreffen. It is being held in Nürnberg on the 15th of July. Full details will be issued from Hercules IG in April with exact location of the venue. Nürnberg is a lovely part of Bavaria and well worth the trip if you can spare the time though it is a long way,...

Hello Roy, I'm glad to hear you are OK. Shame about the bike though. I too was with Carol Nash for years but wanted to add two bikes for the renewal. I rang C.N. 3 weeks before I wanted it to start and after a week chased them up, another week went by still nothing. Now I only have a week before ren...

Hello JB, Thanks for your reply.Oh that doesn't sound good, fingers crossed all parts are salvagable. I do have a spare LH end plate and I think a R/H side too, I wasn't thinking of selling either but if needs must I could probably let them go. I've also got a few sets of new rotors available but no...

Hello JB,Perhaps I missed your posting but was wondering what is wrong with your Classic. I understand it has now been checked over by an expert. So whats the verdict?Joe.

Yep, we were there.As usual Wayne did an excellent job with the club stand. Two race bikes, plenty of paraphernalia, a Van Veen OCR 1000 and an DKW W2000 were exhibited. One club meber "Nick" I think, came and introduced himself. It was very nice to meet you, sorry if I've got your name wr...
