The frames a work of Art 👌🏻 and the mods on the old Beeza has turned the motor into something quite exotic internally 😎👌🏻…. On the Fins, I was told back in the 70’s by a few older guys, apart from aesthetics , cutting the fins back reduced the amount of mud accumulated, and easy to poke the grass and mud out between races, a regular chore with my piece of dowl on my Maico and Kawasaki , I never had the bottle to start drilling or cutting any of my fins though 😁
I only had a chance to ride a Rickman one time......don't remember the engine but the frame was memorable in a few ways: it handled beautifully, very competent, the plated frame was, again, beautiful and, with a nod of the head, the bike fell into corners without any effort. Incidentally, the throttle housing is a Magura that's had a bit of machining. P.S. Will nickel plating the frame lead to hydrogen embrittlement like chrome coating? If my memory serves me correct Steve McQueen had a Rickman much like this but blue.
