BWitcher Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Â Â Or is it the sign of a rider pushed to the limit after years of being taken out by the 'Dirty' Dane..? Â Except he wasn't taken out. Wasn't even touched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coalman Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Funny that could run back half the length of the straight to attack another rider . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4gillian Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Â Except he wasn't taken out. Wasn't even touched. Â You don't need to be 'hit' to be taken out...there are plenty of ways a rider can be taken out without any contact and Nicki is the master of this art.

Â However, as you have mentioned it, please list just some of the 'plenty of ways a rider can be taken out without contact'. Â Squeezed out to the fence, riding immediately across a riders line (one of Nicki's favourites on lap 4 heading to the finish line), being forced wide into the heavy dirt, riding under overly hard going into a bend...all can be done with no contact. Want me to go on? Â As for your first sentence, I have made no such admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Nicki is a fine rider, but he has made his bed over a career littered with controversial riding. Its quite possible he gets harshly judged sometimes based on the past but that's the consequences of his own actions. He's worthy of world #3 and rode some fantastic GP's this year. He also somehow attracts trouble and revels in his bad boy role. He reminds me of the kid at school who was always in the headmasters office connected with trouble, whether he caused it directly or not. Â Greg and Masters did wrong and apologized for their actions. Correct me if i'm wrong but has Nicki ever apologized for his? Once? Â I've never been knocked off a bike at 70mph, or had my line taken away so I can't have reality on how these guys feel in the heat of the moment. Given how many crashes occur in speedway its almost amazing we don't have more brawls. Â And being professionals, Greg and Nicki, at least for now, have moved past their issues its seems. Â The most fascinating part of this thread though isn't Nicki or Greg, its posters who never have and never will ride a bike talking like experts about riders crashing, jumping off the bike, etc, and their actions after. How can you possibly judge when you've never done this? BSF comedy at its finest!! Edited October 31, 2015 by SteveEvans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I rode a Suzuki TS50 when I was 16 ha and fell off it on the way to Speedway but in true rider's fashion , got on the back of my then boyfriend's Laverda and went off to Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I appreciate the Hancock lovers on here will disagree with me and I will be a lone voice, but there seems to be something of a bullying culture developing against Nicki. Â Haven't laughed on the BSF so much seeing this quote, NP made his career on dirty riding intimitating riders & flopping off to get reruns when he missed the gate and berating refs over the years if they didn't fall it. Now NP has been sussed they won't stand for it & he's dead in the water now. I agree with you NP wont get a fair call now, but karmas a bitch when she goes into payback mode.

Â What a pile of reindeer droppings, Nicki Pedersen has made a career in being a multi World Champion both individual and team, and being a top rider in his leagues over Europe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Screm i've never found a rider who looks over his shoulder then rides into another as entertaining regardless of the number of world titles he has won. I doubt there has been a WC who garners so little respect amongst his peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Dekks, have you confused Nicki Pedersen for Ryan Fisher? Â Here's a clue for you. One of those two is a multi-World Champ; the other is a never-will-be.
