Rickman brothers were here, live!
« on: June 06, 2015, 12:43:28 PM »
Much Rickman lately ;)
I visited a  Motorcycle museum in a small village 20 minutes away today. Rickman brothers were there and talked about the Rickman and Metisse bikes story.
Some Swedish Rickman bikes and Metisse to look at too.

One CB750 Rickman was nice to see. It had a 4-1 that look really good! (Maybe Devil?) Rickmans I have seen earlier had all 2 x 2-1. Yoshi 812 and Yoshi cam (std rods)

About Rickman visit here...strange coincidence with the actual Rickman interest in this forum

- The 4-1 on the CB750. Anyone that can identify it? It has a really tight fit as a 4-1 should have
