Damn! Is that a real spark plug next to him for the giant bike he has to ride?

The pic was from an Endurocross PR i just put up HERE

He does a lot of vintage racing, pretty crazy how small he makes bikes look:

I have a friend who raced the IXCR and GNCC series and knows him from that.
Said Rik was an awesome guy.
Really nice and down to earth. Plus, he's pretty fast as well.
But he said it was funny to see him ride. Looks like and adult on a 85.

You should see him in person. He looks like a tall kid riding an 85. I heard he also has a pretty bad ass collection of old school Hemis.

Whoa....it must be the way the picture is taken , but he looks like he's 3' taller than everyone. I'm 6-1" , which means he's 15" taller than me.......but in that picture....it almost doesn't look real. That is one tall dude!

The first time I saw him ride was at Knobby Hill in Indianapolis. It was around 2000 (Pre KTM 85sx) and he was riding a KTM 520. I literally turned to my buddy and asked him when KTM started making an 85. Then we went and talked to him for a bit. He's a good dude.

Good Q, hell he must wear like a size 20! Blink wonder if he has to have them custom made?

Not to take anything away from his freaking hugeness, but that is a fisheye lens on that camera that makes everyone to the right gradually smaller.

I've seen him in person too and had to double-take.

My wife said "his cock must be as big as my entire arm". I just walked away from the computer with my head down.

Chk out his bike collection:


Have you ever seen a 7’4″ motorcycle enthusiast/rider? That’s Rik Smits. Smits reportedly owns over 100 dirtbikes and rides them competitively.

No kindding, he is a regular on the midwest car scene. I've heard his classic Hemi collection can rival his motorcycle collection.
