So what's a Rickman?
« on: March 12, 2010, 12:40:13 PM »
I often see Rickman fairings for the Hondas talked about on here but now I find a whole bike made by Rickman?
The engine is obviously Triumph so did (do) Rickman make frames as well?

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

All the Honda  accessory fairings,boxes and crashbars in the UK were made by Rickman in the 70's
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Remember "Its always in the last place you look" COURSE IT IS YOU STOP LOOKIN THEN!
