Count me in

 

man tears flowing steadily.

one of my favorite pics that seems appropriate....looking back and you can just tell he is grinning ear to ear under that helmet......takes one final look back before he rips off into the sunset

 

Makers 46 on tap - a classy Bourbon for a racer with class....

 

Me too, Makers Mark ready to pour.

 

Aye.

 

RIP Hero.

 

Cheers to this kind, engaging, funny young man off the track and a serious competitor every time he set foot on a track - from being a youth in the sport to being at the pinnacle.

The world is a lesser place without him, but we should push forward and strive even higher in his memory and in his honor.

Cheers to Nicky. Cheers to the others that have gone before him. Thank you for making this sport great.

I'd love to see a Nicky Hayden Racing Academy...

 

The slight dimming of this world is palpable.

 

Remember the time Nicky was in rehab?

Remember the time Nicky was involved with drugs?

Remember the time Nicky was involved in that domestic abuse incident?

Remember the time Nicky was caught cheating?

Remember the time Nicky was caught saying disparaging things about the USA?

Remember the time Nicky was badmouthing other racers?

Remember the time Nicky was throwing temper tantrums because things didn't go his way in a particular race?

Remember the time Nicky was disrespecting law enforcement?

Remember the time Nicky embarrassed himself and the rest of his family by acting like a complete idiot/asshole?

Remember the time Nicky acted like a pompous, self absorbed douche?

..........yeah, me neither. There are racers with more wins, titles, championships, etc. than Nicky, but I doubt you'll ever find one with more grace, class, honesty and all around 'good guy' qualities.

 

For those in the know, is there a way to petition Arai to remake the 2006 Championship helmet?

 

Finally bought my Hayden Tissot watch. Didn't want it like this.

 

I think it would be cool if Roger rode with #69 the rest of the season.

 

Nicky's Gold Wing commercial.

 

I'm still just too pissed off to saying anything good.

 

The comments are awesome. Many from around the world also claimed Nicky as one of their own. Amazing man for all.

 

So, normal demeanor.

No...way more so than normal.

 

That's OK. We are your family. We will wait.
