Well done everyone.  Marmite sandwiches all round!

The picture is of where it all began in New Milton and the picture taken a week or two ago. 

Technically I guess like all start ups it was at home first in the garage / shed, but this was indeed the first Rickman Head Quarters.

All the magic started in that very building.

76 Rickman Honda XL poster on ebay. There's a larger poster version also from the same place.

Only ever seen 1 other pic of this Rickman. Only Rickman I know of that had LTR suspension

This one's for sale on VFT.....most probably a Rickman Monty with the bottom cradle cut out......I don't know how he got the Mk3 tank to fit without making up a whole new tank base....big job. The factory bike JC listed is s newie on me, possibly a case of too little, too late.

I'm looking for someone to ride my Metisse next year.....I wonder if he'd be interested, if I paid his air fare and organised my Aunty Judith to look after his kid?
