pics - Rotary Museum Tour - WOW!!! - 3.2MB

Jack (aka diesel power) recently toured the Rotary Museum in Frankfurt Germany. He was nice enough to pass along a few pictures for everyone to drool over.

I think we need a "world wide" rotary meet at this museum ....... or have Mazda bring some of this stuff to 7stock7 for us to see in person.

Besides the pics below, there are other pictures here.

That's not a 10th AE badge, those are the euro-spec sidelights I believe.

I'd have to agree, that chain saw was pretty cool.

Too bad they don't have (at least I'm assuming this since there were photos of other rotary-engined bikes) the JPS Norton that won the '92 Isle of Man Senior TT...

Thank you for sharing the pictures. But is there any chance of getting some which are not so compressed?

Didn't notice any photos of the OMC rotary used in Johnson and Evenrude snowmobiles. Picture not taken , or did the museum not have one?
