Damned neat collection ya got there! The name John Banks...Earl Banks if I remember right. watched him in the olde Viking Series motocross races in Kalifornia when i was in the service. Those were the first titanium framed racers ever. Won the series too! That's a real feather in your hat! And the olde combo of Greeves and Triumph. TriBSA's, Norvins, Beezumphs...
   
  What Rickmans do you have? Street or dirt? I have/had a Rickman for the single knockered Honda that i was going to try to fit a BSA triple in..the bottom cross bolt was similar. Even had a Hesketh front end for it, but another project never completed. You could still get Rickman parts and kits about 9 ot 10 years ago...guess you still can. be a nice project. Wouldn't see yourself comin'-n-goin'.
   
  Yea..we got to get a ride going. Nearly have the detached garage ready to do some bike work now. Was doing some lighting earlier tonight. Ran out of cupboard hooks and energy!
  Talk to ya later!  Hopper
