We miss you Nicky.   86129squids Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2018 - 12:48 pm:        Jaimec, thanks for posting. Very cool that Owensboro KY made this happen. Still hate that we lost the Kentucky Kid, RIP. Any chance there are multiple pics/angles? Is that one of his actual racebikes? Most importantly, PLEASE tell me the first Lucille Ball sculptor WASN'T involved... How about a picture of him when he struck that pose, next to the sculpture? Thanks to whomever can dredge any of these RQ's up...   Macbuell Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2018 - 02:17 pm:        That looks like the bike he won the MotoGP race at Leguna Seca with.   Jaimec Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2018 - 08:23 pm:        That is a recreation of his victory lap at Laguna Seca, if I recall correctly. I've seen various articles online, all have photos from different angles. I need to get to Owensboro one day.   86129squids Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2018 - 01:04 am:        +1, I thought that was his Laguna Seca win. One of these days I'd love to see a race from somewhere on the Corkscrew.   Jaimec Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2018 - 09:22 am:        I was lucky enough to see his first ever MotoGP win in person back in 2005. A friend of mine worked for Phillip Morris and REALLY hooked me up for that one.   86129squids Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 11:06 am:        http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2018/06/city-of-owe nsboro-unveils-nicky-hayden-statue/   Chauly Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 01:00 pm:          Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 08:01 pm:          Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 08:03 pm:          Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 11:34 pm:        More on the statue. And I was mistaken: The pose is NOT from Laguna Seca, it is from Valencia, 2006, after he clinched the World Championship. http://www.motorcycle.com/features/crafting-kentuc kys-finest.html   Pwnzor Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - 09:06 am:        If you want to see a race from the Corkscrew, contact Al Lighton formerly of asb ... the SCAB guys have a campsite right in front of it.   86129squids Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - 11:09 am:        I remember you telling me that Matthew... maybe one day I can ride the Beemer out there! Bucket list ride fo sho.
