NBC: Ray's driving, was Re: RAY

[Ken Ficara]

He goes on at length about driving (and riding a bike) in his autobiography:

"I learned to ride [a motorcycle] in Tallahassee when I was about
fourteen or fifteen. ... I got to know the town pretty well and soon I
felt confident about riding round. Tallahasse was full of hills, and I
loved racing up and down 'em, sometimes trainling my friend or riding
next to him, so i could hear the sound of the exhaust and make sure to
follow closely, and yet not too closely.

"I know it sounds strange -- a blind teenager buzzin' round on a
motorcycle -- but I liked that; that was me. I had always been nervy,
and I always had a lot of faith in my ability not to break my neck."

He goes on to say that some people in town saw him riding and reported
him to the state as faking his blindness, but they examine him and
sure enough, he's blind.
