My tribute to Nicky Hayden one of the greatest American Road Racers of all time. Smile




Yes the DOT sticker will be coming off shortly to expose "RIDER".


Santa was nice enough to bring one for the girl as well.
We are both very happy they're extremely quiet and I can hear the Bluetooth speakers a lot better than my previous helmet. The design and functionality of these handmade helmets are second to none.

It got down to 50 this morning brrrrrrrr, so we decided to go for a ride.

The harsh winter conditions of Arizona have set in! Woohoo

I'm confused...

Why are the tires so smooth?

Why do the helmets look so funny? No visor? What about goggles?

Indeed he was.

I remember back in the 90s at TWS the old white dually truck w/ all the Hayden boys kicking everyone's butt. The whole family was fast.
R.I.P Nicky.

Yes Saquaro Lake it's just a short ride up from the house that's what makes it so nice.

Thanks
Yep the best 2900 bones I ever spent five years ago. She's an incredible machine and I can't imagine need much more.
My second one I had a bone stock 2002 that I luved and could not pass up this 2001 that had some nice aftermarket goodies only 17,000 miles.

Yes the whole family was fast and with Roger retiring this year it put an end to seeing a Hayden on the track.

This article just came out in the recent AMA magazine they inducted him into the Hall of Fame this year.
RIP Nicky, you are missed but not forgotten.



It's great when you get good customer service. Garrett at the Mesa Arizona Cycle Gear store was very helpful with us in choosing our helmets.
He also is very excited to get his hands on the new Nicky helmet as he had not seen one yet.

He had us try on a lot of different sizes and designs and was very informative and patient.

Also told me to bring in my old helmets with the Bluetooth speaker setup and he would remove and install them in our new helmets the sound quality is much better as the helmets are more quiet and the liners have cutouts for the speakers.
