I see that H&H have a Blue Commander up on their March sale. It looks very smart. Is it a known bike ? As I may well be in the market for another one to replace my old one. Which as usual I should never have sold. Mick

Re: Rotary partd
Hi JB. They are asking for suggestions for NEW parts to be made for//by them for Rotarys. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Give them your thoughts i.e. Rotor bearings side plates what ever. You never know if enough people want a part it may well happen. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
