Nice ride. The whitewalls look great but I bet they're a bitch to keep clean! Cheers!

Thank,s mate, got to get the wheel,s chromed soon. The whitewalls were a bitch out of the box, they came sprayed with peacock blue rubberised paint all over the white, f--k me dead nipper, it took me 4 hrs to scrub it off. Brillo pads are the answer for cleaning them though, 10 minutes and its done.

I think so, but they don't do that on this site any more. Not enough interest.

Been there, done that. I had a Triton and a Rickman Bonneville in Cheshire in the 70's.

Good man thats the stuff! I was weaned on a pre unit cowboy Bonneville, in equatic jade & silver with a Morgo 750cc conversion,E134 cam,s and shod with Dunlop TT100 tyres, it was the quickest, and the prettiest thing in the forest The Rickman brother,s, Derick & Don,were based at Sway in the New Forest, about 10 miles from me,we used to go and watch them scrambling on their 500cc Triumph Metisse,Steve Mcqueen had one, so i reckon they must have been ok.
