Yes, very nice. Yummy yummy. I don't think my aging carcass could stand the riding position for more than a few minutes though... :(

This one?



Must admit I've always thought the Rickmans look a bit unbalanced. Much prefer the original (possibly showing my age:

1969 BSA-Suzuki

Yes that's the one I meant Ian, thanks for posting up the pic.  I hear what you're saying about rickmans generally but I must say I think the blokes that have done this particular one have done an absolutely cracking job.
Cheers, Michael
