Tall Dirtbiker!

[Matt BakerMember]

Check this guy out

Rik Smits ex NBA basketball player 7 foot 4 inchs tall

Apparently he loves his vintage bikes (has over 100 of em), has to get his boots and riding gear custom made, plenty of years as a professional basketballer means he can afford it.

Goes ok at extreme enduro too, probably just puts his legs out and lifts it over rough stuff.

I wonder if he runs Bar Risers !!

[BillMember]

This bloke is not tall i am tall at 6’4 he is a giant :woohoo:
100 mm bar riser would be needed to get his knees under the bars
hang on with his knees maybe his ankles
might have to run bigger springs what would he weigh 150-200kg
and i thought my bike felt small under me :blink:

If he can stand in that position for any length of time he must have quads of steel. He’s obviously one fit bloke.

Man what a giant he is. It would be good going for a ride with him. I’ve got a mate who is 6’9 who rides and goes ok but always gets caught up in the tight stuff :laugh: He’s riding more on the road these days. He makes me feel like a shortarse.
