Rickman Micro Metisse

[VMX247]

Might get third time lucky and get one on offer here in OZ.
Last one in UK was under 1500 pounds.
cheers
Firko wasn't your daughter sitting on that purple people eater before on this website somewhere.?
And is the Black one around here somewhere too.
Do you ever ride them,or are they show and tell kind of bikes.
Cheers

Alison, the purple Rickman is owned by Alan Jones and the girly in the photo  is his daughter Elise.He most certainly races many of his bikes. The purple bike is newly finished and hasn't hit the track yet although he did take it out (and crash it in the mud) at CD5. I believe it'll make its race debut at the Nepean 2 day meet in August.

Now the penny drops.
Does Alan know you have put his photos on here.
I'm no good at cooking fruit cake with a file in it.

When I was very into Hodakas. I made an offer here in Australia for a much advertised complete running and very sweet Micro Metisse Hodaka. Sadly I twas turned down. It eventually went to the USA..............for $225 dollars less I offered.
That Yoshi 125 is sublime....... Oh Lotto Gods please just shit a little on this humble fella.................

Alison, they're not his photos, they're my photos of his bike. He couldn't give a shit if I put photos of his bikes up here or not. He's my best mate anyhow.

It's becoming a bit of an obsession. I've just picked up this little gem which will recieve my DT1 engine and MK3 bodywork.

....and its a Montesa - bonus .

Looks a bits untidy, and the pixies are not good. $2500, maybe if I didn't have other projects  . I would love to have a restored one .

These little Rickmans are pretty adaptable. Check out this one that's set up for flat track fitted with an '86 CR125 motor.
It's a pretty good buy as a vintage racer. I'd buy it, sell off the later 125 engine and with that money buy a competitive pre '75 engine, fit it and go racing. You couldn't build a vintage bike to that standard for half the money asked considering the quality hardware it's got.

Firko, magic bike, as is Black Betty, that Old Bastard in the white Husky Top has either nodded off or he likes the bike that much that he's playing with himself??
