Description
A bit of history:"The story of Derek and Don Rickman and the line of scramblers that they created is unique in the annals of motocross. The Rickmans were both world-class competitors and innovative designers. After riding less-than-competitive machinery for the Royal Enfield factory, he English brothers decided to develop a motocross hybrid of their own.

Derek rode the bike to victory in its first competition in England in 1959. Later that year, on led Great Britain to win the Motocross des Nations at Namur, elgium, n the Mark 1 Metisse.
[With many innovations] the unsprung weight, nd extensively using fiberglass for the gas tank and other bodywork.So much interest was shown in the Mark III that the Rickman brothers began commercial production of chassis kits, apable of housing a number of different engines, n 1962. The quality and handling of the Rickman chassis, nd it acceptance by world-class competitors, as well demonstrated by the fact that 24 Metisses were on the line at the Motocross des Nations in 1964.
