Signs of the Times

[Prince of Darkness]

As a lover of first-gen RX-7's and experiencing the thrill of my first ownership, imagine my delight to discover Norton built rotary engine bikes, way back in '91.
('87 Classic pictured):

Their rotary engined models were fairly popular, but cost too much to make to allow the company to make a profit. If I remember correctly, they had to send all their rotors to Mazda in Japan for a stage in the process.

I did not know that, but suspect it was for graphite-impregnated rotor apex seals. That's how Mazda finally cured the longevity problem.

In the UK, we'd say "a bit of a porkie". (Porkie pie = lie)

Well, shucks. I tried the decimal shift. Guess it wasn't enough.

Math is hard.

Math is hard.

Slight variations are amplified over multiple orders of magnitude.

Math is also hard, though.
