Past or present, who are the top 3 most respected riders of all time due to their character?  

Short?  Canard?  Windham?

Deano has to be on this list.

It says a lot about your character when you announce you're going privateer and literally every sponsor you've ever had immediately steps up to support you. Can't remember what year that was.

If you’re talking in recent years, I’d say Dunge, Tomac and Brayton.

John “JYD” Dowd should make it. I don’t remember if it was vital or mototalk when everyone got together to sponsor him for a race his last season, if I remember correctly even his competition (RC4) sponsored him for a race. That says something about respect!
