I'm just glad to see him in the mainstream media.  It would have been nice if they took his picture next to a "superbike" or at least mentioned the word.  Oh well, you really can't complain about that pic though!   ;)

"hey Nicky, it's Dave from People mag, we want to do an article on you, photo shoot next week, we know you race Motogp for Honda so we already have a bike, helmet, and outfit for the shoot"

Nicky  "ok"

Nicky, One week later... "WTF, I race Motogp, not motocross"

PEOPLE:  "Motogp?  Thats not dirtbikes?"

NICKY:    "No, it's roadracing"

PEOPLE:  "down a road, like in a straight line?"

NICKY:   "No, ROADracing, on a circuit"

PEOPLE:  "Oh, like NASCAR!, on an oval, I love NASCAR, those guys are crazy, they go almost 190mph"

NICKY:   "NO, a roadcoarse, knees down, crotch rocket, superbike, 215 mph with no roll cage"

PEOPLE:  "Oh, yeah, I've seen a picture of that, well, this will be ok, it's all motorcycles"

I had the EXACT conversation with the woman at UPS when I was mailing out my tire warmer to get fixed by Alexa. She also couldn't understand why you have to keep tires warm.  ::)
