Some guys because of their personality or longevity get lots of love even if they don't win:

Windham - love this guy
Cooper
Ward
LaRocco

Who else? What do you think?

This is actaully a REALLY good thread!

Windham, no brainer for me, nothing bad to say bout him!

Also really like:

Nick Wey
Grant Langston ( although a multi - time Lites champ, he was never considered a threat on the big bikes ( except 2007 outdoors Wink ) )
Travis Preston
Mike LaRocco


..........to name a few.

Henry takes the cake at Southwick when he was holding off RC for 8 laps! Everyone knew he wasn't going to win but man! Southwick was on fire that day!

I guess I was thinking more towards the end of his career with his farewell tour and all.

All good ones:

Millsaps not getting any love - most people probably expect him to win but it's tough. If people had expectations for him like they do Windham, he would have more fans.

Wow, love is such a strong emotion to feel about a professional rider, but I guess I could
say RV2 with fairly strong conviction.Laughing
