This sucks.

He's from my neck of the woods. My cousin sponsored him when he was younger.

Right?  Of all the things that could've potentially claimed him, it was on a BC, not a MC, that he got caught out.

I watched him grow up & move through the ranks.  Pure talent, & a decent fellow along the way.

I've been a Hayden fan since his early days in the AMA.

I remembered today that a Hayden rep saved my life.

I teach film and I had my students watch The Doctor, The Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid today (studying documentaries).

I nearly lost it when Hayden was talking about his dad and family and all of the sacrifices they made for him to get where he is.

I felt so sad for his family watching the end of the film.

RIP #69

I work with someone who knows Nicky Hayden and his family personally.
Their family is involved in roadracing, their father is the maintenance guy for one of the tracks out west.
They are going to the memorial service when the plans are finalized.

The Motorcycle procession for Nicky Hayden will take place Monday, 5/29/2017. 12:00 pm

Riders will need to be at the 501 West 4th. St. Fisher Auto Parts ( Formally Gipe Automotive ) parking lots at 10:30. We are expecting a lot of riders. So this will give us time to get organized.

Dirtbikes, Flat Trackers, and Racebikes will not be allowed to follow the procession. We ask you to still show up and line the streets. We will line you up on West 4th Street.

What about the Kids: Parents that wish to take part in the memorial we would love to see the kids decked out in their gear holding their helmets next to their rides or just standing there. We will line them down the side of West 4th.St.

Those of you who do not ride we would also love to have your support along West 4th St. And Frederica St.

The riders will escort Nicky to his final resting place and once services have completed riders will be released. I have been asked to line Locust St. on both sides of the street. Once we fill that area we will then coral everyone else at the Fisher Auto parts lots.

Lets make this one last "Grip it and Rip it" moment for one of the Motorcycling Worlds best Ambassadors.

Sincerely,
Mike McFadden

Time: 10:30 meet up 12:00 pull out

Where: 501 West 4th St. 42301 at Fishers Auto Parts
