I'd like to know more, is it true or is it the newest urban myth, it would be great if it were true.

WW II bomber found in crater on moon was one of my fave headlines of all time.

A new RE5 motor is I guess slightly more credible (just :-))

sorry to hold up this piece of workplace gossip chaps , and not let it be a biking fable , but it is certainly a true and even more a kettle club member , i have spoke to him since .
I will leave it up to him , maybe he wants to be covert ,or pm, or other .

Only jossing, Snowy. I guess there are a fair number of crated motors somewhere in the world. I recall a whole crated Kettle went on ebay a few years back (unless I am dreaming it!).

It would be lovely to learn a bit more about owning an RE5, one of the oddest, boldest bikes never quite to take off.

Cheers!
Mike
