I have been there 4 times and the people are so nice but so wanting some leadership. Would that have anything to do with an American embargo do you think? 2 Quote Link to comment

Pdoggg Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Henry Heimlich died at 96. He did not choke do dearh. Go ogling him he was somewhat controversial. Like many innovators, some of his theories will be brilliant while others off base. One theory was that u inject people with HIV the malaria virus and I think he did these experiments with humans in China. Quote Link to comment

soiboy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 RIP Nicky Hayden American motorcycle racer and 2006 MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden has died from injuries sustained from a collision with a car last week while out training on his bicycle in Rimini. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/sports/nicky-hayden-ex-motorcycle-champion-dies-after-collision.html?mcubz=1&_r=0 I had the pleasure of meeting and fan-talking with Nicky at several MotoGPs over the years (spring for a paddock pass; you won't regret it). Just brief chats, wishing him well, good luck, etc. He was always open and friendly, always an optimist. Forgive me for being chauvinistic, but I always thought that he presented the best of the American spirit to the rest of the world. And clearly people responded to that. Indeed, he was one of the best-liked riders in the MotoGP paddock and over the last two years in WSBK. 1 Quote Link to comment
