After St. Louis supercross 07 or 08, my friend, his dad, and I stopped at Denny's in Collinsville and noticed Kdub hiding in a booth not wanting to gain attention, so we (probably a little creepily) waited outside to talk to him, and he was super nice, and even talked on the phone to my friends mom who was a huge fan, giving her his full race report and Denny's report. He had a so-so race but great a great moons over my hammy.

But listening to Canard's Whiskey Throttle podcast, he struck me as just a genuinely great person.
That’s probably the most k-dubesque thing I’ve ever read lol

With Mosiman revealing he's effectively turned into a halfway home who is the nicest guy around?

Justin Bogle, Justin Brayton, Chris Blose, and Mike Alessi were the nicest riders I’ve ever met

I've met a few at the practice track. Bradshaw. McGrath.  Dubach.  All very humble and freindly. But a freind of a freind is buddies with Albertyn. Through that I got invited to albertyns private box to watch sandiego sx in 2020. That was cool. He was very gracious. Ian Harrison and his wife stopped in to visit for a minute. Super freindly. Coop won the race.

RC was unbelievably cool the two times I’ve met him. Especially for being one of the most well known figures of the sport.

There are a ton of riders that fall into this category, but for the two I have met in person that were the nicest IMO were Dungey and McElrath. Just fantastic people.

I haven't met them all but out of the ones I've interacted with...I agree with you.

Ay Lorettas a 09ish, Mike was waking around judging the lil kids mx tracks they made in the dirt. The most genuine interaction with kids, sure most of them did not know who he was. He was in no hurry, just really being a cool dude.

Dungey, KW, Trey, Dean and many more are very cool souls. RC was always very nice to us as a mini rider to pro while we pitted next to each other many times as kids. A few championships in he showed up at Gatorback and parked next to us and rode laps round and round while we amateurs raced our motos. It was so cool. He then brought out a rare photo poster and gave it to us from behind his truck seat. He came up to us at Daytona one year and asked how my wife and I were doing and if we wanted to walk the track with him. We walked awhile just we 3 and he was like an old friend until the Suzuki crew took him then we met David Izer who was awesome and while leaving the infield ran into TFS and Wordnerd who wanted  pics with my wife of coarse. Lol  Good times.

Asking who’s nicer between Mossiman, Short, or Canard is like asking who is your favorite child. There’s no choosing, they are all just super good guys.
 
 

 It’s funny that Vince Freezy and Weston Pieck were sarcastic addition’s because both are pretty nice guys off the track.

Back up at Mammoth in the early 2000s, we were randomly assigned a camping spot that was right next to Travis Preston when he was a factory Honda 450 rider. My brother and I were just 125 Juniors at the time and were so nervous to go talk to him. But he came right over when he saw us unloading bikes and talked with our family for a while. He then invited us over and we played ATV Unleashed on his TV outside his motorhome.

I’ve met a lot of riders outside of industry situations ie not a races or a practice track. Everyone has always been very nice but Pastrana is the one that really stands out as being kind. Marv is also up there. 
 

I’ve only heard of one guy consistently being a major dick to people but I’ve never been around him, so I won’t say who because I don’t like spreading rumors.

Everts. I was at the Belgium championship and a friend of mine wanted an autograph of S72. Everts was alone sitting on the stairs of his motor home. He started to ask me if I rided dirtbike and I answered yes and that I was a huge fan. That I had so heartbreaking moments watching him ride his 250GP debut with Albertyn or when he losed his kickstart at Talavera. I hated Greg so bad 😅. That he was also a kind of god to me. He smiled and said, come training with me at neeroeteren this Wednesday. I couldn't believe it. Wenesday I was a Neeroeteren. I remember that he was trying hard to speak french because my English understanding was bad at this time. I spent the all day with him, McFarlane (RIP), Tonwley and Ramon. This track was my favorite Belgium track. The place was beautiful. At the end of the day, he gave me his pants and said : I wore it for real 🙂 Happy new year everyone.

Dungey or Musquin in the modern era but I’ve heard that MC was / is a super nice guy, I’ve just never had any one on one time with him.

Old school? Wyman Priddy or Gaylon Mosier.

New school? I’ve met Shorty, Trey & Marvin Musquin. All three really cool & down to earth.
