Karen and I were down South in central Tennessee on some business. We met up with Jess Stockwell. I got to see the World Headquarters of Rotary Recycle USA. The compound is perfect. There are three buildings The Office, Parts Warehouse, Parts Bike Warehouse and Service Center. Jess had gotten hundreds of feet of shelving up. Parts should be showing up soon. He has three bays for service work complete with benches. If you need any work you know where to go, or have your bike shipped. If he didn’t have enough going on, he also was working on a bike so it would have a chance in the Iron Butt. The pics of his RE-5 with the side care don’t do it justice, what a piece of art. To say I’m excited to see Jess’s passion coming to life is an understatement. The way I see it if Jess wins (business wise) we all win. I have a few other bikes and to get parts you have to play the e-bay bidding game (some times misrepresented junk) with someone else and paying a fortune for it. And that is when it finally comes to auction. To be able to put in an order and get what you need is unbelievable!

The new Rotary Recycle sounds very impressive. I look forward to when Rotary Recycle is in business again. I am sure it will go very well. I hope Jess will post pictures when everything is completed. They would be very interesting.

As I have said before on the forum I am only new to this particular model of bike and i find that there is only 6000 originally sold in the begining and most likely half of them have disapeared and they are dissapearing at the rate of a couple each week via the parts breakers. I know we need parts but it pains me to see them like that.
I have been to the Rotary Recycle website and what a fab place to go and get lost.I to wish Jess all the very best and i hope that every sucess comes his way. But is there really enough business for just the RE5 to keep him busy?? Maybe he is doing resto work for people also??
