I am sure this has been brought up but I am bored. So with that being said if you could choose 1 rider that you lived their life who would you choose? I would choose Dunge simply because not only is he a multi time champion, but most importantly he has basically no injuries so when he walks away he shouldn't have too many pains and aches when he is older compared to someone like RV or Stewy.

Dunge, same reasons as you, if all the pros had to race 30 years from now he'd win by a minute simply because he would be able to get around the track without any painGrinningGrinning

How is this even debated.

RC. Worked the hardest, won the most, has the most in the bank and got out young, relatively injury free.

My top 3 favorite riders are Hannah Bradshaw and Dungey Out of those 3 I would pick Dungey. Great family. Beautiful wife and storybook carer

MC hands down. He lived his moto life on his terms. He had the drive to be the best, but wasn't afraid to have a beer or 5 between race days. He trained for the job, but didn't let it consume him to the point of burnout, and he was able to keep the injuries to a minimum. Oh, and he made a truckload of money, too.

I agree for sure with you. I guess I just picked Dunge over RC because I believe, could be way wrong, but I believe dunge will be like Kdub racing for a long long time. RC came in dominated in every aspect made his money and got out. Myself personally I would want to race as long as possible while still being competitive and right now I feel like Dunge is that next guy. Just my opinion.

Fro... He lived the moto life to the fullest and put in some rides that were simply perfect.

Ronnie Lechien or Antonio Cairoli.

Ronnie because it would be cool to flow with such natural talent and Cairoli because he has traveled the world, beat the best and has a hot lady by his side.

Ward. Did it forever, then get my hands on an Indy car. Hardly ever got injured.

For me it would be someone who has raced in America and Europe, seen everything, done everything. Maybe like Musquin, he's nowhere near retired but I think he's already had a pretty cool career

MC or RC for me. Probably lean towards MC , because that dude must of had quite the life through all his racing career. Where RC just worked his ass off. MC won a lot , but had fun doing it.

Mcgrath, he banged a lot of hot chicks, won tons AND partied at the same time, and he made a nice chunk of money. He also raced and won in what I feel is the coolest era of MX

Wasn't expecting that but to be his age, 45 I think? And to be riding at that level is ridiculous lol

Wardy, 125, 250, 500, SX and MXdN titles; worked for it and won against some incredible talent and rode green.

Lechein for sure, Metiasevich a cloe second.

Valentino Rossi. If it's only MX, probably Pastrana. Had a very cool life, done many things. If it was just the career, and not the life as well, probably... RC. Being that good at something would be incredible.

ron lechein or emig- partied hard and still won raced on natural talent. Would be a lot more fun than your cleancut RC/ dungey types!!

jean Michele bayle would be cool too- winning everything on both sides of the pond in mx then going to moto gp. Cant see that ever been done again

pastrana would be a good one- just to see what its like to have the balls/ talent to attempt to do the things he does, with no fear.

He lived the life on and off the track.

+1, or MC. Those dudes won and had fun. I wouldn't want to be pro nowadays, that whole training constantly and unrelenting scrutiny from those wanting perfect role models would drive me crazy

MC because he was the best without having to burn himself out in his mid twenties... I would want it to be fun, it would suck to reach the end of your career and no longer love the sport.

Close second would be Reed because he packed up at a young age and just went for it in a foreign country... and succeeded. Not only that but he's managed to come back from so many low points and prove the doubters wrong again and again.
