Here is some great reading. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/19/sp...ay-hayden.html |
Amen and if they really want to get to know Nicky I suggest to watch the series THE KENTUCKY KID from MTV 2007 , its still on their website. And Totally agree with Slickwill Nicky takes full blaim for his actions unlike alot of others, and he always apologizes to his fans,,which I think is one reason why his fans are so damn loyal,,,like myself!  |

| Re: Hayden to go to Ducati? Hmmmmmm watching todays race perhaps they should give Hayden a go on the Ductai. It might just suit him. The bike clearly needs to be pushed around instead of ridden around, not many riders can get on with it. It may suit Hayden he likes to push and shove the bike about the place. |

Oh well | If Nicky isnt in Honda's plans after this season, and if the Factory Ducati seat is open to him, Im sure Nicky will take a good long look at that ride. To say that it will never happen, as long as Earl walks this earth is ridiculus, unless of course, you know something about that family that the rest of us do not know... Nicky isnt getting the results this year and actually hasnt since he won the title. He is and has been struggling with the 800, a known fact. No doubt he is a talent rider and a stand up guy. But he is not going to keep the Repsol Honda seat because he is a nice guy... Winning is going to keep him in that seat, nothing else..
You imply that Nicky will not ride any other bike, especially the Duc, even if its his only option, because of his Dad. Nicky is a racer. If the Honda ride is no longer there for him, he will ride the next best option, regardless of what anyone thinks, including his dad. If you know anything about Nicky, then you should know that he wants to ride and be winning more than anything else, even if his days are numbered on the Honda.... |

| Re: Hayden to go to Ducati? Then Nicky needs to leave MotoGP if he wants to win. He will not win because his riding style does not fit the smaller engine bike. His corner speed is not there and the 990 allowed him to make up for that. Now all these other rider moved up through the smaller bikes where corner speed was critical. They can ride the new bikes and Hayden has yet to change his riding style to match that of what the bike requires. WSB would be a good fit for him or back to the AMA. |

Why is it that everything I post on here you seem to disagree with. I am honestly getting tired of your bs. I never stated Nicky will stay with HONDA,,but all I said was that he wont sign with Ducatti as long as his dad walks the Earth, if you followed Nicky like I have you might understand why I posted that.
But again I never implied he will not ride any other bike,,,YOU SAID THIS,,,all I said is HE WONT RIDE DUCATTI AS LONG AS EARL WALKS THE EARTH! ,,,its like you read what you want to read and then you post your bs.
So do all of us on here a favor and re-read my posts before your bark off with your bs , or better yet have a nice warm cup of STFU!
Thanks! |

| Re: Hayden to go to Ducati? I would have no problem with what you say, if you had facts to back up the BS that you say, but you never do. You talk as if you know the Haydens personally, which I bet you dont. You said it yourself, your a loyal fan of the Haydens. That doesnt make you an expert on the Haydens. I challenge your opinions and you dont like it. Welcome to the world of forums!  I read what you say not what I think you are saying...
Case in point, YOU posted, "As long as Earl walks the earth you will never see a Hayden riding Ducatti." Do you have proof to back up this statement? How is it that you know a Hayden will never ride a Ducati? These are fair questions based on what you posted. All you have to do is provide proof that backs up such a confident statement. Then we will all know that what you post, isnt BS... So enlighten us all
Because of what your statement implies... that Nicky will not ride with Ducati, I simply created a hypothetical scenario based on what you said, that if the Ducati was the only option for Nicky next year, that you are nuts if you think Nicky wouldnt take it because of what his Dad thinks. Nicky is a racer. To be the best, which is clearly what he wants, he has to beat the best! That means racing in MotoGP. The best of the best is percieved to be in MotoGP, not WSB. Period. To race in MotoGP is what he has always wanted to do. You ought to know that, being that you are such a loyal fan. If his days are numbered with Honda, then he will take the best offer that he feels he can be competitive with, that keeps him in MotoGP. Any other series, I think Nicky would feel that its a step down, and at this point in his career, I dont believe he is ready to do that.
No need to re-read your posts. After the first time, its clear your head is in the clouds. Nicky is struggling, but in MotoGP is where he wants to be, whether its on a Honda or not...
So since you follow Nicky so much, help us all understand why you posted what you did... |

I didnt,, you stated this,,not me. So its not me who has my head in the clouds. Every post on here you follow me around like some little high school cheerleader that has a crush on me like I am the high school quarterback or something. Are you in love with me?? Sorry I am married and happy.
I dont mind being challenged , but where have you ever agreed on anything I have ever posted ? And why do you follow me around like a social disease?
Again re-read my posts and if that doesnt help take a class to learn how to read. And again if you dont like what I post and you cant disprove what I post please help yourself to a nice big glass of stfu!
If you really want to know since you already know everything , but if there is a small chance that you might for a split second think you dont know everything and you might want to know watch MTV's Kentucky Kid, in one of the shows Earl makes a joke to Nicky stating that "Hey you always can ride for Ducatti" and they both laugh. this was about 2 years ago and it was when nicky wasnt having good luck. So that is where I get my opinion from,,but then again you go ahead and CHALLENGE my opinion because you have nothing better to do.!~ And again everything on here is not always "The Facts" And I have a right to my opinion just like everyone else on here does! And WHO do YOU think YOU ARE, why do I have to post stuff like this to back my opinion? Last I knew this was still a free county and I still have a right to my opinion,,even under the Bush Administration. But there you go mister know it all, there is my proof from which I formed my opinion, now ramble on about how super smart you are and how stupid everyone else is. Its your dream!
Thanks Again!

I'm sure that's where that comment came from. I have no idea how you would equate that to todays circumstances. Things change fast in MotoGP. It's hard to keep up sometimes.
