Nicky fought hard for the title that year and when Pedrosa took him out the previous race he thought his championship hopes were gone.  You can just feel the emotion coming out of him.  Nicky was a really good guy and is missed.

I met his mom and his brother in Atlanta, while attending the International Motorcycle Show back in '07. They seemed like a really tight family.

I "met" Nicky two years ago at COTA.  I was working the Paddock Loft Suites and making sure people had the correct wristband for access.  When it gets crazy you just start looking for wristbands and not the people.  Me, "I'm sorry sir, you don't have a wristband."  Him, "I don't need a wristband".  I look up straight into the smiling face of Nicky Hayden.  "Holy sh*t", go right in sir.  Nice guy.

Very cool.  Thanks for posting.  Had the pleasure of meeting Nicky at the Indy Mile in 2009 prior to the MotoGP.  Such an ambassador for the sport.  It was the night Kenny Roberts rode the Yamaha TZ750 flat track racer from '75 again.  Glorious!
