The Evinrude, Johnson and OMC were all the same sleds, all made by OMC. Theres
another in that group that I can't remember the brand of, it was green though,
maybe OMC made rotary motors for Scorpion...

engine? I didn't remember an Artic Cat wankel, but I know Evinrude made one,
and there was probably a Johnson equivalent. If you want a rotary bike that
didn't get Guigario'd to death (I hate the instrument cluster and tailight
housing on the RE5, thanks to Guigario - ItalDesign) Hercules made an air
cooled wankel bike.

It wasn't so long ago I picked up the Gumball Rally at Wal-Mart for like $9.
Its a double feature with Cannonball Run II.
CBR II sucks but the Gumball Rally is worth the $9 all by itself.

The movie "Gumball Rally" will be shown on SpeedVision Fri at 8PM (ET) and
again at Midnight - in case someone has missed this cult classic it has
something for all of us - Ferrari Daytona, Porsche 911, Cobra and a Mercedes
Gullwing along with a crazy motorcylce, van, police car, etc all racing from
NY to CA. The sound effects of the cars as they leave an empty NYC and travel
thru the concrete canyons is amazing! The V12 Ferrari and Cobra are 2 I
remember well. Enjoy - Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D)

The motor in the bike looks exactly like the one in my snowmobile turned
sideways... Of course they're both Sachs motors...
Arctic Cat made a rotary lawnmower. From what I've seen of pictures they look
alot like an electric lawnmower, just sort of a plastic lump on a lawnmower
body...
Didn't last long though

Hercules used a 294cc Sachs. http://www.chromeclassics.com/1975_hercules.html
Somebody here claims to have a running Sachs Wankel lawnmower engine:
http://www.cybermotorcycle.com/euro/brands/hercules.htm There's a rotary
cycle club: http://www.rotaryrecycle.net/links.asp And don't forget the O.S.
Engines 0.3 cubic inch wankel engine for model aircraft. I checked an online
hobby shop and they had parts but not engines, so it may have been recently
discontinued.

Thanks to Larry T., I watched it last night. Loved the 64.9/gallon gas
signs and now I remember where all the AMC Matadors were sold!
Like you said, great Ferrari and Cobra sound track.
But what's with the snow capped mountains in Illinois?
