This just in:

We have been looking for a way to get in touch with Nicky Hayden or the Hayden family. Our daughter is 9 years old and is crazy about Nicky. She met him at Road Atlanta on her 8th birthday. Nicky was more than gracious. He took the time to speak with her when surrounded by his teen friends. But, of course, she could mutter only one word. He asked how old she was today and she said “8”. We met his parents and were very impressed with their willingness to get our daughter a T-shirt of the Hayden boys. We lined up at the Honda transporter to get him to get an autographed poster and his mother Rose insisted that he sign the shirt even though it was against the rules. Our daughter had her picture made with him and he signed the shirt for her.

Long story short, she did a report in school on ‘A Fantastic Person’ and chose Nicky. It’s a really cute and I would like to send it to Rose or Nicky. If you could give me any ideas on fan clubs or any way that we could mail it to them, I would appreciate it greatly. Nicky, considering his age and his status in the racing world, is very grounded. Thanks for your time and I hope you can help.

P.S. You have the best publication on the market.

Thanks,
Mark & Michelle Horton


A Fantastic Person
By Lindsey Horton

I have met a fantastic person before. His name is Nicky Hayden. He is an 18-year-old famous motorcycle racer. He has raced since he was five years old. He has two brothers that also ride. they are Roger Lee Hayden and Tommy Hayden. I admire Nicky because he is a nice, responsible, caring motorcycle racer that loves his fans. I have two posters of him. One is autographed, one is not. He autographed my T-shirt and he autographed my book. My daddy’s building where he keeps his motorcycle has millions of motorcycle posters. I have a special place in there where I put his poster. I love and respect him. The best part is where it is close (to my) hometown. Another thing is when we went to see him it was my birthday. I love Nicky, he is my favorite rider.
