I won't knock the 22.5's, I had thought about some before.
Actually, if he would have just put a pair of 5" stacks tucked tight against the headache rack, that would be a gorgeous truck........ But they had to ruin it with those monstrosities........

Not even close on that definition. Ricer is actually an American slang for Japanese cars that were modified in order to compete with American muscle cars in the early 70's. They called them ricers because they were Japaneses imports. Study some history, our WWII vets named them ricers.

Most of us vets call all far east cars rice burners, or ricers for short.

No doubt these would give the R1 a race in a straight line. They were stupid fast.

Nope, the 3rd grade teacher had a paddle yet, but they were cracking down on her using it. She did still tie kids to their chairs when they wouldn't sit still.

I was in the 6th grade when I did that.

Reminds me of my 1982 GPz 1100. Scary fast in a straight line but heaven forbid if I had to make a turn. But it was my fault for turning it into a street legal drag bike.

I had an '06 R1. Those types of bikes are scary powerful for their size. I was young and dumb then, pulled a wheelie doing over 120mph down the freeway. i realized how dumb i was getting and sold it.
