RACINE — An unruly motorcyclist without a license forced the shutdown of the I-94 exit ramp to County Highway K Wednesday, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.

A Racine County Sheriff’s Deputy was traveling south on the interstate near the exit when he spotted an older male driving a blue Yamaha motorcycle without a helmet, the complaint states. After entering the motorcycle’s license plate number and learning that the biker’s driver’s license and motorcycle endorsement had expired in 2011, the deputy attempted to pull him over.

The biker — Ralph E. Ringkjob, 60, of West Allis — eventually pulled over on the exit ramp to County K, according to the complaint, but when the deputy asked him for his license he said he didn’t have one.

When the deputy asked him why he didn’t have a license, he allegedly told the officer that he didn’t need one because he “didn’t have a contract.”

After the deputy told him he needed a license to operate a motor vehicle on the streets of Wisconsin, Ringkjob reportedly said, “but I wasn’t driving on the streets of Wisconsin.”

Ringkjob then got brasher, according to the complaint, refusing to identify himself to the officer saying he was a “free person.”
