Distinguished Gentleman? 

You???

No offence meant, we had one in good old Devon sometime back and I took a photo to prove it 

I'm behind the camera so can't be seen.

 Good one, I didn't go that far but I did have a tweed jacket & a classic Triumph LOL   I'll have you know when I'm not on the dirt bikes I'm a very Distinguished Gentleman & a grand dad.

Did you see that green Rickman ? is it a real Rickman & is that a Honda engine....the bike looks nice. There were heaps of Triumph's & a few Nortons & BSA's but I only took photos of unusual bikes, some of them would have been at home in Easy Rider.

Cheers Terry

Here is a link to the Rickman Metisse web site where you will see they now supply ther own engine as well as their lovelly specialist frame.

Below is a fine examplle of a recent, well finished and beautiful bike ........

           

The Rickman brothers originally built their own frames and fitted a Triumph, BSA or other engine in themselves to use at scramble events.

Competitors were very curious of their capable bikes, liked them and asked for replicas.
The brothers then found that money was to be made from making frame kits for customers to fit their own engines.

A legend was born and turned into a business which is still ahead of the large manfacturers.

 Very nice indeed

My old (1955) T100 has a similar, but smaller, top half fairing

She doesn't get used all that much now but I've had her since August 1966 and is now retired like me.
