rstnick · 03-29-2009

Very nice indeed!

Bigfluff · 03-30-2009

Thanks for the kind comments guys

It's the only remaining one in existance now.... and I've also been fortunate enough to meet up with the guys that designed, built and developed this bike in 1978.!
It's also the actual prototype/development bike that was sold to the rock band Saxon, who used it as a stage prop on their worldwide 'Strong Arm Of The Law' tour in 1980.
If you would like to know more about the bike there is a feature on it in the May issue of the classic bike magazine "Classic Motorcycle Mechanics" and then also as a road test feature in the June issue of "Classic Motorcycle Mechanics"

Bad Kaw - You have a nice collection of Zeds there my friend.... Nice one.

Regards, Will

1975 Rickman, 1973 Z1 engine.
I have owned this bike for a couple of years, replaced gas tank. Evan Wilcox did a fantastic job making the aluminium replacement tank. And newer carbs rebuilt by wired George, beautifully rebuilt, like brand new.
Exciting bike to ride.

Anyone know where i can get a set of Rickman cams for adjusting chain?
