Looking great....I love the Mk3 'glass! Is there any engine that doesn't look at home in the little Micro Metisse?....it could possibly be Derek and Dons most versatile frame design.

Come on firko, you know better than that. No Mk3 stuff there. 

Looks good all the same.  Motor fits lovely.

Now that exhaust.  It is going to take some getting used to.......

It's the drugs Ben......

btw Ben, thanks for the book mate....great read.

more books available if reqd.  Can get them signed also which make a good book even better.

Saw the book at a flashy swap meet recently for twice the price and no signatures.  Also available in the US and more than twice the price....

Perhaps I should get a few in for the pension fund?!?!?

OK all the bits are bolted on cables done pipe mounted Tossa tank fitted

Big Question want colour to paint it .looking at the Rickman/ Metisse Photos all the colours seam to have be used over the years

The only colour for a CZ might be the Orange off a sidepipe Zed   

 Firko Help  ?

[shortshifter]

Only my opinion but I'd opt for one of the blue colours maybe the dark one.A bit left field but I reckon a metalflake like the Greeves blue would look ace.

[Tossa]

purple then you can park it next to mine.  i know that would be a great honour for you!!!lol

[bazza]

Yellow or silver

[mainline]

I'd vote for a yellow, darkish though. Not Suzuki yellow

[VMX60]

Thanks Guys

No Barry two purple rickmans in the pits people will start to talk   

To keep a bit of the CZ side alive going to go with

CZ/RUSSIA TRACTOR ORANGE I think the tanks where the same colour   

Cheers

I've always wondered what a silver Metisse would look like. I like the idea of gunmetal grey as well but those bloody Steve McQueen Metisse ripoffs are painted that colour. There's a fluro orange 500 Triumph Metisse here in Sydney (which hasn't been seen for a couple of years come to think of it) which looks spectacular, if a tad out of era unconventional .

No Fluro colours came out of CZ factory  just shit Mustard yellow and crap Orange   

The dull eastern block , way back when.  Comrade
