Opie Oils
This company recently invited the ROC to join in their club discount scheme for motorcycle oil. Whether or not they can offer any real savings I don't know, or even any oils suitable for rotaries, but given that it was free, the ROC (and that's you, the members) can partake in their scheme. DC

RE5 Carrier
My RE5 has a early Krauser metal rack and pannier mountings; I would think Ebay would be a good place to look.\r\rDC

I am also at a loss as to why the ROC is being targetted by (largely Russian) porn sites, cheap cigarttes and viagara sellers; between us, Graham and I must delete an average of 5 or 6 A DAY!!! ... but as to the apathy, I guess it reflects society?

W2000
All W2000s were built over a 13 month period from Oct 1974 to Nov 1975 though some bear a much later build plate; this was because these were added as the machines were sent out to from the factory - up to 3 or 4 years later - or so Hercules GmbH told me. A total production figure was given of 1,784...

New issue of Epitrochoid
fyi.... Epitrochoid #82 is finished and awaits collection from Dunbar by the printer; unfortunately, a spell in hospital by him is delaying things a tad - but rest assured, there is another newsletter in the pipeline!

Hello David,Please post this on the Forum for me would you. Just a quick word of warning to Commander owners out there.I recently purchased a high mileage Commander that has been used all year round.

Some excellent pictures there Chris!There's a couple of pages about this bike in this week's MCN. All very positive and upbeat ... just need another John Bloor with a few million £££ and a penchant for rotaries.

Ah, you're way beyond that stage ...I would speak to Eamon Hurley (I think he's in/near Coventry) and see if he will have a look at the side plates & housing; it might be that he will be able to recommend a Mazda kit that might do? (RX-2, RX-3 etc)I assume you have tried Sam in the USA and he ha...

Before you strip down the engine, if stuck seals are the cause of the engine's problems - friends in the Ro80 club swear by Red-X. Poured down the plug hole - or even through the inlet or exhaust ports if that's easier - they tell me it softens the carbon build up and can free stuck seals. Diesel fu...

Spoof eBay Sale
I believe the pictures are of a genuine machine etc - it's just that the current 'vendor' does not happen to own it; I have it in mind that the very same machine might have appeared on eBay sometime in the past - so what I imagine he has done is to 'cut & paste' the photographs for his own (mis)...
