Been riding for over 50 years and still have never thrown my leg over a Rickman....you lucky dog!
Me and older brother had a 71 or 72 Rickman martese 125. Had a head light.stuff.street legal.fastest 125 ever.hill climber to.zundap great motor.first thing we did is cut big ugly muffler off.got load. Great mems.thanks man.
I had a 73 Rickman. Sold it on eBay about seven years ago. Bought it in Quincy. Been sitting for Forty years. Like new and very fast.
I had a 74 VR 250 replica. great handling and powerful but fragile. Switched to Bultaco and then Husqvarna. I should have kept it just because it was so lovely.
Had an older used Rickman Zundapp 125 in the early 80's, pure bliss until the gears inside shattered and I had to pass it on. Never owned anything I loved more!
New viewer to your videos, good to see a younger person who enjoys the vintage bike scene. I do have a Rickman 125 Zundap in my bike stash which is fun to ride and good looking but not a racer. I definitely have a soft spot for Euro bikes also, Maico, CZ, Husky, fun channel keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for watching and for writing such a nice comment David! I really appreciate it!
Very cool to see the Rickman Montesa. I was a 9th grader living in El Paso in 1973. Dad and I went to a local Triumph BSA Hodaka Rickman shop to look around. The Rickman ISDT Zundapp and Montesa MX were parked right next to what dad bought, the Hodaka 125 Wombat for $640. Man I lusted after that Montesa hard and still have the brochure you showed in your video. Out in the desert I'd see them running around with guys on Huskys and TM400s. Unfortunately though, the Honda Elsinore 250 was introduced in '73 and it changed pretty much everything. In the end I did get into Montesa in the '90s with a '70 and '72 247 and a Rathmell 348 Cota I used in AHRMA trials. Viva Montesa!
Great story! So cool that you kept the brochure!
I have a 1974 Rickman Montesa 250VR. These are super cool bikes. I used to AHRMA race mine, Viva Team EMP.
Right on!
Rickman was HUGE in the day ,advertising ALL OVER ENGLAND, mega famous for CHROME MOLY 🇬🇧
Such great history! Would’ve loved to have been there to experience it myself! Thanks for watching 👍
@@wheelhousegarage You'll be old before ya know it mate,I'm pushing the big sixty and it's a total TRIP, seems like yesterday I was 17 cruising on my Suzuki pe175 🤣🙏🎅 ,I'm getting around on a homemade ebike now which I absolutely love especially if I've got a nice bag of grass on me.🙏🇬🇧👍stay cool mate and av a gud'n.
Sweet Bike, Son! Braaaaaap! Love two Smokin'
Nothing better!
I rode this bike back thru the 70’s, and it was the bike all my riding buddies wanted.
Sweet!
I raced a 125cc Zundapp Metisse at an MX in Placerville for a dealer in 1970 to test it and give an opinion. Typical, it missed a lot of shifts. I normally raced a 250cc CZ and won often.
Dad had a dealership (Ted Evans MC) in Venice CA and we were a Rickman dealer, the one I loved was with the Triumph 650 motor!!!
So Awesome!!
Mated the mono-block carbs on the old Greeves. Nothing but trouble. Put a Mikuni on a Greeves Challenger and it starts and runs great without ever loading up.
Thanks for the comment Robert and thanks for watching. The performance of a Mikuni is undeniable, but I'm just such a freak about original equipment 😆
@@wheelhousegarage I understand.
In 1973 my dad and a buddy of his grafted a Yamaha 250 MX engine in the Rickman frame and voila! A Rickmaha was born. That bike was wicked. They also developed a rudimentary flex bar. For that bike. Just found your channel keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! Will do!
I really like the way you presented all the information.
Please never add background music while you're talking & riding!
Thank you so much!
The Amal carb is spanish because Spanish bikes were required to be sold with all spanish parts back in the day. Amal licensed them to Montessa so they could build them in Spain. Or so the story goes...
What a great piece of information! Thank you so much for sharing Dan!
That was the bike I awalys wanted you are so lucky
Thanks Tom!
I am surprised that I've not seen one before. We had one of the very few Montesa dealers here in Upper Appalachia (SE Ohio) back in the60s and 70s. The Rickmans I recall from that era had Zundapp engines. That dealer also handled Moto Beta.
I had that same bike in the 70s and had a blast on it!. Bought it new- it had a different pipe on it that was lower down and looked more like an expansion chamber and it had a stinger on the end- may have had to do with WA state regulations for off road, everything else looks the same including the naugahide clutch and break lever shrouds
Such great bikes!
I use to ride my mates montesa 250 king scorpion ...great bike My bike was a husky 360wr another great bike This was 1974/75 .. Cheers
Right on John! Thanks for sharing!
I smoked those bikes back in the day with my Ossa Stilleto! lol That said..., I have a 71 Rickman 125 with a Honda SL125 engine stuffed in it. ;-)
That is awesome!
The montessa are as rare as the puch frigerio bikes ,pure class
Amen Ian!
Huhhhhh I ain't seen one of those since the 70 $ damn I seen many bikes like that one hodaka and my first bike when I was in grade school Yamaha 80 racing bike I miss it but that's the way it goes for many vintage bikes....
Indeed!
Nice episode of motorcycle history.
Thanks! So happy you enjoyed it.

Hey mate, this series is really cool. Love the Rickman, I’ve got a mate with a few Montessa’s and Bultaco 2 strokes. Love Spanish bikes and will try and track down that beer here in Australia. On a side note if you want to try some Aussie beers for your reviews, check out Coopers Pale Ale or Little Creatures Pale Ale.
So glad you are enjoying this series! Spanish bikes are so special. I'll try to get my hands on those Aussie beers!
Ride it, but don't crash it!
Roger that! 😁
U made me laugh. Ha
New to your channel , nice nice nice bike!
So glad you're here Sky. Thanks for joining! 👍
get it!
Consider it gotten! Thanks for watching!
When you said 1973 the volume went up & your voice change. This is the kind of stuff used in light hypnosis.
Hahaha! That was my poor attempt at a voiceover because I said the wrong year. But hopefully this video was generally hypnotic. LOL!
Out of curiosity what was your dollar you were asking?
Thanks
$3500
I'll crack a coopers beer now
Love it!
How much?
Sorry Larry - this one sold over the weekend. Be sure to subscribe because there will be more for sale!
@@wheelhousegarage roughly, what's the value range?
I really enjoyed the cub video
@@larrynorsworthy8582 Way too cheap in my opinion Larry - under $3k. But that happens sometimes when you do No Reserve auctions and I am still happy fo the new owner. 👍
@@larrynorsworthy8582 Thank you Larry! It was quite fun to make!
