A brief rundown of my Rickman Triumph motorcycle build progress so far .
A project to keep me busy and out of trouble during the covid 19 lockdowns .
She is no ordinary motorcycle , beautiful , iconic and historic , she was built to perform.
Ironically called a "Metisse" [ mongrel ] by the Rickmans ,she is in fact a race developed thoroughbred .
Much beloved by desert racers Bud Ekins and Steve McQueen.
A winner in British National Scrambles and Moto Cross des Nations in the 1960s , ridden by the Rickman brothers , Bengt Aberg and others .
Error - the bike has a 930 Amal Concentric,not a 928 as I said in the video .
