Just got my AD in the mail yesterday and there he is on page 158, my hero.

Pretty nice place he's got there. An awesome house with a huge trophy room and 3 motorcycles on the wall in the Foyer.

I wonder if it is supposed to be symbolic of Ricky (AKA goat)?
If so, it's gay......

Think you could scan, or even just take pics of the article? Would really dig seeing it.

Between my uncle and my truss manufacturing facilities we did the trusses and all the pressure treated beams for RC house and boat dock!

We also did Townley's house, it is QUITE a bit more modest than RC's!!

RC's house is approx. 9,600 square feet. That is huge!

Check out the goat on the rocks in the last picture.

No Honda's on the wall? Maybe I'm just reading into it something that isn't there. Nice spread though.

My take, first championship on a kawi, suzuki still on the payroll, honda maybe didn't want to give him a bike, that and he was overlooked right? Either way his house is very nice.

As long as his Kawi is on the wall I'm happy.....

Is that a goat on the the waterfall above the pool and what's with the alligator skull on the dining room table?

I think his wife is awesome for letting him have so much moto all over the house, how you think it doesn't "seem" like Ricky is beyond me. Place looks great. Wish they would have shown the garage.

Great house, but it looks like he has all his bikes and trophies hit you in the face right as you come in the front door?

BTW I didn't see a Honda on that wall. HMMM

That "Foyer" shot w/ the bikes on the wall and trophies are actually in the basement. It's an atrium design so the space from the roof line to the basement floor is open. You can see the Daytona video game in the later shots of the bar/pool table.

I agree, its kinda fruity, but I am sure thats Ursla's doing...and you walk in and the first thing you see is 3 motorcycles hanging on the wall...the contrast is ridiculous, I prefer Chad Reed's idea, using his garage for all his memorabilia.

I'm not sure about the Honda deal but if I recall correctly that relationship didn't end well, which is not uncommon with Honda.

Ofcourse she's going to let him have a lot of moto stuff around the house. That's the whole reason she has such a nice house to decorate in the first place. And really it looks like all his memoriabilia is actually just in one place and the mag just highlights it a lot. I've seen other pics from around their house where they basically have nothing moto related except for a couple of black and white pics in a bathroom or something. I think it's on her website, but I can't remember for sure

So thats what 150 AMA wins gets you? Very, very nice. RC truly deserves to live like that for all he has done for the sport of motocross.

I thought the same thing as you guys did - This doesn't seem like RC at all.

This looks like something that was 100% produced by his wife, like that $130, 000 Mercedes he didn't want that his wife wanted. Rick wanted a pick up truck -ahaa!!

Second observation: No Honda mounted on the wall !

You know, I took a good day to stew this over and I'm still not comfortable with this photo.

I can't really explain it, but there seems to be a lot happening here.
