I remember meeting you for the first time at Black Mountain with Peter (02) all you had then was that PL 24 (it was white then). The next year you showed up with 30 bikes. Didn't see the Mark 2 in there and the TWP is one I have now right?

I hope you dont mind if I re-post some favorites Rick.

This is a beauty Lonewolf.


I looked through all of them, several times. those are really some great and classic rides you have there, and some historical bikes too! (Ricks bike shop special is one of my favorite builds of all time.)
This one really stirs it up for me. When I was a kid, livin' on my bike in the early/mid 70's my friends and I ruled the hood, but if you moved onto our block and rolled up on this we would have made you our king!

This bike screams, "I'm a racer! I race. I've raced recently, notice the temporary number plate covering my regular plate, I got that at a race. That back wheel? Yeah its new. When you're as moto as me you need the indestructable stuff, I trashed my last one jumping over a car. If you race me, I will beat you."

Yep, the kid riding that would have been the king.

It's not just the brand, or the year, or the chosen parts, it's much more than that. It's the whole package with your builds, it's a feel, and a down to earth persona with your builds that make them so amazing.

BMX bikes were very diverse bitd. Just as your builds are. If you rode your bike around the stomping grounds, you saw many diverse builds. When you went to the race track, not so much so. We would look at many bikes bitd, and know whether they were a racer, or a freestyler, or jumper, or just a dude with a BMX bike. We tended to ignore the ones that didn't suit our vision, but they were there. Those are the ones that so often elude our collections. The ones that "were there", but we forgot about.

Rick could place his bikes around the city, and if you went for a ride, you'd think it was the late 70's or early 80's.

Many of us stick to building only the racers, or freestyle builds, which was what we owned as members of those venues.

Rick's are so damned interesting because they encompass so much more than that. They cover every kid in the city.

I've never seen a build of Rick's that I've said; "Yeach, Ishy" ... The only thing I could find that I didn't like going through the slides twice, is the fact that the white plastic gas tank still needs to be painted something other than white, I very much don't like that, the way it is.

One thing. One lousy thing to pick at in all his builds. There is something amazing to be said about that!

You have a vision of VBMX that goes waaaaay beyond most of us mortals, and narrow minded racers, jumpers, and freestylers.

Hats off, as always, my man.... Bravo! drinks.gif

Soooo, How many of those are actually housed in your domecile? (That's a lot of bikes dude)
