I posted this in the other thread but who cares. We all lost a family member today. A role model, a racer and a friend. Our champion. But I will forever think of Nicky Hayden as a celebration of the great that comes from this sport and the class of people it brings. I will always want to look as cool sliding a bike as that dude did (effortlessly). I'll always aspire to have his work ethic and most importantly his grace. God speed champ Go#69!
Thoughts and prayers are with the Hayden family. Horrible news to hear this morning. RIP #69 You are a legend and inspiration.
On the bike and off, one of the best all around people this sport will likely ever know. He was everything a young racer should look up to and dream to be. Race in Peace Nicky.
Its a Sad day for sure... I am sure he and TDubb are up there now cracking on each other... My condolences to all friends, family and fans... You will be missed dearly..
Then I'm a pussy too. It's incredible that someone I don't even know had such a positive impact on my life. I was just watching The Doctor, The Tornado & The Kentucky Kid on the plane this morning. There wasn't one scene that he didn't have a smile on his face, and not one person was unhappy to see him. Today sucks.
