Hi Guys, I am starting my Rickman restoration project with first removing 45 years of the rust scales from the frame, I will be posting pictures as I progress.

Subscribed! Any pics of the entire bike?

Can get one up later, the tank needs repair or replacing, which is hard to do here in Jamaica.

OH #$%*, you are in Jamaica! Very cool! How did you stumble across your bike? Any history on it?

It was imported from England, and I saw the owner riding it and bought it from him, I am the second owner.

I can't seem to get anymore pictures up for some reason

Usually you need 5 posts when new to the site. So how is the weather down there?

hagar24 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 10, 2015, 05:44:30 PM »

I have been on here for a few years and I have been posting, as for the weather, it's fantastic, nice and warm

You now have 6 posts. Should be able to post more pics now.

Said in my first post that it's been 45 years, let me retract and say I believe it's 40 years.

hagar24 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 11, 2015, 06:15:05 PM »

Wish I could upload more pictures at a time, this is slow

hagar24 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 11, 2015, 06:18:16 PM »

hagar24 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 11, 2015, 06:20:34 PM »

All that wonderful sea air seems to have taken its toll.
Glad to see one being restored.
