BIKERS in Dorset are preparing to join the “largest gathering of Rickman Motorcycles in the world”.
The annual Rickman Enthusiasts Day, to be held on June 19, will see a crowd of ex-factory workers and Rickman Metisse bikes fill The Sammy Miller Museum in New Milton.
The event will welcome a whole host of special guests, with Don Rickman himself, as well as Motocross champions Jeff Smith and Graham Noyce.
Visitors can enjoy a parade circuit of bikes, workshop tours of the museum, the firing up of a Rickman bike at midday, and a bring and buy stall for Rickman parts.
There will also be a raffle at the event, with all proceeds going to the Oakhaven Hospice.
The annual Rickman Enthusiasts Day will begin at 10am, with the museum remaining open as usual. A standard entry fee applies.
To pre-register your bike for the parade circuit, contact rickmanenthusiasts@gmail.com.
