“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” – William Wallace

Although this quote is very short, it has a very deep meaning. On the surface, it seems as if the quote is simply stating that everyone dies and not everyone gets the chance to live. But when looking at the deeper meaning, it’s saying that not everyone actually lives their live to the fullest. It is inevitable that everyone dies in this world at some point, but it is an individual choice whether you decide to live or not.

To really live means to live your life to the fullest. It means to chase your dreams, take risks, and to love life. Since everyone’s fate is the same, why not live the best life that you possibly can? In order to really live, you must seize the day. Live each day as if it's your last and overall just do it! Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present. Life presents us with a lifetime of opportunities but the opportunity of a lifetime is obtained when right choices are followed. Be present to enjoy the moment. Each day is a fresh start with options just waiting to be explored, so live life.

No one wants to be the person that dies without living. So people must find something that gives their life meaning, whether it’s being a great friend, sibling, parent, grandparent, teacher, neighbor, etc. Once people have found something to live for, they’ll live better. If it's not relationships as a central purpose, maybe its occupation or something that is outside work that makes a difference to others. The meaning of life is something people have to decide for themselves. To live life, set goals and move toward them in small reasonable steps.

I started watching moto racing in the early 2000s when Nicky just started in MotoGP. My first live GP race was Nicky's 1st Laguna Seca win!! Met his parents selling swag at an AMA race a few years later. Just seemed like a nice bunch of people enjoying their good fortune as a family.

RIP Nicky, you will be missed. :'(

Apparently they were going to release a special edition teddy bear to commemorate this year's WSBK Laguna Seca race:

http://www.gabitoy.com/en/licensed/gb-9945a-12.html

I sent an email to the company to see if I could buy one and have it delivered to a children's charity, preferably one selected by the Hayden family.

One of the guys from the club suggested that we meet up on June 9th, 6-9, to celebrate Nicky's life. I think this idea is perfect to apply across the world, so what say yea DMFers, we have less than 2 weeks to coordinate local meet ups.

so sad he's gone...   :'(

I recently did a little digging into the accident that claimed Nicky's life, when I attend WDW I rent a beautiful B&B and fill it with friends, it's at the back of the circuit and is reached by a very narrow back lane which crosses a main road.
There's a very sharp left corner just before the main road crossing and it's easy to miss that there's a crossing there (I missed it once) and that's were I believe that the accident happened,
next year when I return I'll take a minute and remember Nicky as he really was a great guy.

RIP Nicky.

Lars due to my current health situation Barb and I won't be attending WDW this time, Stewart and some of the UKMOC guys are hoping to visit the junction where the accident happened so keep a look out for them.

Take care, ride safe and have a great time in Italy and if you get to the villa say hi to Chiara.

Lars is that the cop shop near to our favourite ice cream parlour and crazy restaurant.

I'm afraid that I didn't take a pic but Chris took one and I'm sorry that your tribute was missing.

Whilst I was putting the stickers on the pole a gang of guys leaving the circuit stopped and all agreed what a great rider and nice guy that Nicky had been, you really do meet the greatest people on Ducati's.

RIP  Nicky the paddock misses you.
