Rick's Bio from MySpace:
I love speed and the rush you get when you're on the verge of losing control. I love motorcycles. I love riding and building them. Just being able to create with your hands is so cool, and then to be able to make a living at it is just that much better. I started riding when I was around 7, minibikes, go karts, 3wheelers, 4wheelers, dirt bikes and then harleys. My true passion for bikes are old bikes. I like working on them, or just riding them or doing restorations, there is just something about an old flathead. Besides bikes I am a huge nascar fan, been since the early 80's, Dale Jr. & Stewart, I started out with Davey Allison. Spent about 5 years working at the racing school at Pocono raceway and with a Hooters Pro Cup team. The best thing in the world is doing what you love to do. I have been working on putting together a shop at home to build and work on bikes of my own style and just making parts and sheetmetal pieces, welding, etc. If you have any interests please just ask.

Rick's Bio from OrangeCountyChoppers.com:
Rick Petko, a native of Bath, PA and a motorcycle enthusiast, joined Orange County Choppers as a fabricator and builder in July 2003. At an early age, Petko started riding - mini-bikes, go karts, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, dirt bikes and then eventually Harleys. Besides his love for bikes, Petko is also a huge Nascar fan and started his career working at the racing school at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania and then worked for the Hooters Pro Cup Team before joining OCC. Eventually, he moved on from racing and made a home for himself alongside Paul Sr. and the crew at Orange County Choppers. Petko's love for speed and for making something out of nothing made him a great addition to OCC's growing team. His true passion for bikes is in old school bikes, especially old flat head styles. Since working for OCC Rick has had his hand in some of Orange County Choppers most memorable projects like the POW/MIA bike. The POW/MIA project wasn't just his first build at OCC it also held special meaning for him because his cousin's name is on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. and was also placed on the rear fender of the bike. Petko now resides in Stroudsburg, PA, where he built himself a workshop to work on projects of his own.

Astrological Sign: Virgo, the Virgin

Positive Virgo Traits: Modest and shy, Meticulous and reliable, Practical and diligent, Intelligent and analytical

Negative Virgo Traits: Fussy and a worrier, Overcritical and harsh, Perfectionist and conservative

Virgo Personality Profile: Sometimes modest, and quite often shy, Virgo can be one of the most difficult mates to "land". It is not that they are playing hard to get, it's not that they are not interested, it's the shyness. Oddly, the more they like you, they more shy they behave around you! You won't find the modest Virgo "flashing" anyone in the near future.

Very reliable and punctual, those born under the Virgo sun sign will be easy to count on. They will help you out in a pinch and do things for you that go above and beyond the call of duty. You will find that many war heroes are Virgos since this astrological sign is really big on courage.

Extremely practical and diligent, this person can be counted on to not over indulge or get addicted to things too readily. Extremely intelligent, many scientists and mathematicians are Virgos.

Virgos like to analyze things and are not comfortable until they figure out all angles of the problem they currently are focused on. Virgo will make great stock brokers, financial advisors or anything else that requires deep thought.
