Hopkins hit by a car
Don't know what would hurt more...Hopkins getting hit or breaking a $10,000 bicycle.

Re: Hopkins hit by a car
He must be making pretty good coin to have a $10,000 pedal bike (Unless it was given to him through sponsorship or a gift)

I've read that Rossi makes around $28 million including salary and endorsements. Hopkins won't be at that level, but I'm pretty sure he can drop $10K without much hesitation.

Re: Hopkins hit by a car
I think it was in Faster when Hopkins was talking about not wanting to ride on the street because it was too unsafe. Go figure.

Re: Hopkins hit by a car
I'm sure it was the bike's fault.

Re: Hopkins hit by a car
It'll probably just be a new frame, maybe "only" $5k or so to fix.


Remember Hopper doesn't pay for his motorcycles, $10k on a bicycle is no big deal...
