What does "looking rice" mean to you?
Bolt, what about the dude with the HUGE scoop and green flames. that truck was ricer-ish to me.
I dont think there is much that these trucks have that can be made "rice"
If its your truck and you like whatever you did... who cares if someone thinks its ricey? I have a Talon with a 3 inch exhaust that certainly sounds like a fart can... Its ricey. But its also eating new SS camaros and GT mustangs. Its my little rice cooker.

Winston, that is friggen awesome, and I totally agree. To me "Ricer" is not a look, its an attitude. There are things that I see that I dont particularly care for, but there are things that i do to my truck that a lot of other people dont like either. I try not to go hatin on someones setup, cause its something they have worked hard for (and sometimes i just love livin in my own dream world) and done cause thats what they are passionate about. Especially if it was something that they made or done on their own.
What i think of as "Ricer" is people who have to disturb the peace (revving down a residential road in the middle of the night), tearing up private property (off roading with out the land owners concent AND not intending to fix what they have destroyed (deep ruts in a field, or on a private road)), or break laws just to show off how "cool" their setup is. Yes (and it kills me to say this) even a big diesel rig pumpin out black soot down a highway is a ricer.

That's one of the worst of all. I've seen guys pull up next to people with their windows rolled down, or convertibles, and rev just to fill their car with ****. Funny? maybe... but if I were on the receiving end of that kinda stunt, they wouldn't be doing it to the next guy, I can tell you that.
It's ridiculous how rude people are.

jk! But yeah what FrenicX said, amen brother. I love diesel, but blacking out the highway is ridiculous.
Also, don't get me started on them rice rocket sport bikes. They give me (a cruiser rider) a bad reputation.

It's not the bike, it's the rider, the same lesson conveyed by the previous video. The bad reputation they receive however, will get a legitimate biker killed some day.
The second video, I was about to be on the truckers side until the end, and another video linked to a side by side comparison ride on the same road to bring the speeds into perspective. Fastest speed the bikers went was 62ish on a 55mph road according to that comparison. Not all crotch-rocket riders are bad, but even doing things like this to the trouble makers is inexcusable.

It's all in your point of view and the rider not the ride. A pair of Harley's holding up traffic or waking the dead with "look-at-me" pipes also does little for the motorcycle image. KS Cowboy put it best.
