Rickman-Metisse for 1972 - the results are nearly perfect

Don and Derek Rickman have a new concept in motorcycle making. They produce a limited number of motorcycles a year for America.

These Rickman-Metisses take advantage of what Don and Derek have learned from the mistakes of others (and even from a few of their own).
