the 1/4 mile wheelie on his zx-14r
Riding just for Show and not competing - he did a 9.8 secs run on his near stock ZX-14R
A Real Biker, genuine guy, bundle of talent with so much experience and 10 world championships and still so humble. he was hanging around the start line whole day sometimes giving tips to newbies, sometimes just enjoying the event.
so what is this pic-- the man in red is ahead of Rickey in a drag race..?? .... not exactly .. the man in red had an engine seizure mid way during a race and our man rickey simply picked a ninja and ran to help him, rickey is actually bringing him back by pushing his bike with right leg - the way we indians do sometimes (bikers are same all over the world)
