There are several reasons why I've stolen these piccies from Loveless Engineering Inc. Racing Development and Tea making Services. Firstly, I'm green with envy and want to be able to perve at this extremely rare Rickman brothers framed Aermacchi road rocket at leisure . . . . secondly, it's an example of just how many different and divergent powerplants Don and Derek Rickman fitted and fettled fantastically fine frames for over an extended period of time, and were influential on so many other designers who took the industry forward . . . . thirdly, it's an excellent illustration of naturally attained 'patina', as opposed to the type found in bottles of acid, and doesn't it look fucking gorgeous, how could you possibly mess with that !!! And fourthly . . . . [continued bottom of post]
Fourthly and finally, Lovey is another one of those anally obsessive, meticulous, fastidious and persistently dedicated bastards who, with the assistance of his long term executive officer, Commander Dangerman, will transform this tired, slightly dog-eared, musty, quarter of a century unridden, classic, into a beautiful, well sorted, unrestored/patina preserved, optimum performance obtained, racebike, once again . . . . I've mentioned several times in the past that if you're seriously into good old fashioned, uniquely British, backyard, DIY, uber-engineering and bike building, not to mention great yarns about music, riding, racing, real life living, tea making, observations on life the universe and small dogs, then head on over to
http://lovelessengineering.blogspot.com.au/ and get yourself an eyeful . . . . you will come away richer for the experience . . . . watch that space !!!
