Brings back memories. I grew up riding a blue Rickman Metisse Kawi 175 that was Dad's old MX bike before he bought a Husky. Had Ceriani forks with a whole 3 inches of travel. My ankles still hurt every time I think of that bike.

Beautiful bike.
The off-road bikes from that era are really works of art. Rent a copy of "On Any Sunday" and watch Steve riding on the beach with Mert Lawill and Malcome Smith. Pure magic. Here's a preview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qODJEH1JhE |

+1 for On Any Sunday great bikes in there ! Beware you might want to have a 1970 Husky 400 (4speed) after watching it
Malcolm was and still is a great rider ! seeing him riding down the widowmaker was briljant. About the helmet i dont get that either. Sure it looks like in the movie but at what risk ?
