I picked up original Ricky frame in NZ for 1000 quid, tidy unit 500 motor for about 500 GBP.... but maybe just got lucky. Now I am just practising Steve McQueens signature so I can add the additional 10 grand.  McQueen signature, yes I agree you do seem to be paying a lot for it.... Adrain Moss will do you the same spec bike for about £9k (might even be less) Delieasy (spelling?) wants £13k when the stickers are on the tank. I dont know who is buying them, but so say, they are selling.... Let me know how you get on with the signature. I have some Metisses that could do with that decal on the tank! |

hang on a minute this getting expensive!
Anyway, none of that matters, it's a lovely bike and would look good in anyones garage.
Ok I conceed that point , my Rickman will probably owe about 9 grand if it goes the way of my regular projects.... there is an element of winding up Beeza Bill in all this BSA talk. Not sure what my Cheney owes, ooops North of er 4000 quid so I am totally out of touch with reality, if you counted in my labour you could probably buy a 3 bedroom semi detached in Sbananahorpe  . |

Does that mean you're bringing it to the naki next week or that it's actually in the country but not in your hands yet?

Mark found that out 4 weeks ago at classic scramble club meeting - BSA already has to short a kick ark
with out the slipping clutch trick.
