RICKMAN FANS PAY TRIBUTE TO DEREK AT MILLER MUSEUM

Tributes were paid to the late Derek Rickman at The Rickman Enthusiasts’ Day at the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum, the largest gathering of Rickman motorcycles in the world.

Over 200 Rickman machines with hundreds of people gathered to celebrate one of Britain’s great motorcycle manufacturers.

At midday, Derek’s own worldfamous Rickman Métisse bike roared into action before the start of a minute’s silence in the museum courtyard. Once the remembrance service had concluded, 50 bikes were paraded before the spectators, young and old alike.

Don Rickman thanked everyone for making it a memorable day. Don has requested the Sammy Miller Museum Trust make this an annual event for the Rickman Enthusiasts. The Rickman family has put Derek and Don’s worldfamous winning bikes on loan to the Sammy Miller Museum Trust and these are now on display in the museum including No.29, the Rickman Métisse 1966 British GP Farleigh Castle Winner.
