NICKY HAYDEN INCLUDED IN DUNLOP
LEGENDS PROGRAM
T
o pay tribute to the late 2006
MotoGP World Champion,
Dunlop has made Nicky Hayden
a part of its iconic Legends
poster series, a program to honor
racing heroes. Nicky's poster fea-
tures a photograph taken by Tom
Riles during Nicky's run at the
2002 AMA Superbike champion-
ship on the factory Honda RC51.
In addition to his love of rac-
ing, Nicky also loved his home-
town of Owensboro, Kentucky,
and was very active in various
charities. He loved to give back,
especially to the children in his
local community. In his honor,
the Hayden family has set up
the Nicky Hayden Memorial
Fund. Nicky's Legends poster
is available for $29.00 plus
shipping through the Hayden
Brothers General Store, with
proceeds going to his memorial
fund. Posters will begin shipping
the first week of October. More
information about his fund can
be found here.
The first 69 poster orders will
also receive a special #69 Dun-
lop podium hat, and #69 sticker.
"Most people probably didn't
know Nicky dedicated so much
of his time to charity, but know-
ing Nicky it shouldn't surprise
anyone," said Mike Buckley,
Dunlop Motorcycle's Vice
President of Sales and Market-
ing. "He had a big heart, and
through this program we can
help continue to give back in
Nicky's honor." CN
