Unfortunately I can't recall anything else as the details were sifted out of my brain many years ago. I think it would be quicker to name the riders who Nicki hasn't upset down the years! Saying that he's had a raw deal the last couple of years with refs excluding him purely because of his reputation and riders (Woffinden and Janowski spring to mind,) overreacting after barely being touched. You know they wouldn't react like that if it were any other rider. I for one will miss him in the gp's this year because he's the last remaining character and he stirs things up. It's all gotten too chummy with all the fist bumps and high fives..We need another Penhall v Carter type rivalry! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also recall attending a double header at Wolves in 1984 when Oxford were on second to Halifax and travelling back at the dead of night one cold and misty late October night...but that's the memories I carry when remembering my times travelling about the country and what made it so special.

Mark Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Pedersen never touched him. Bail out move from the fallen rider and typical of him in the GP's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 On 3/30/2019 at 8:11 PM, Mr. Clemens said: Darcey probably thought he was going to play 'Jack the Lad' throughout his career, picking up a few world titles along the way, while putting two fingers up to anyone and everyone. Problem is fate got in the way. The real disturbing aspect of the tweet is that because he's not in a position to do NIkki harm he is, perhaps, suggesting that someone else ought to do it. Someone who Darcey would regard has having the balls to do it, like Darcey himself has and would, hence the little black book. lots of riders have knocked Pedersen off his bike but the difference is he doesn't bleat about it. Zmartzik T'boned him last season at Gorzow, pure racing incident as Zmartzik lost control off a bend but a horrid crash that caused Pedersen a bad neck injury. Woffy knocked him off in the GP's and caused a broken arm. Pedersen is an all time great and puts bums on seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been a fan of Nikki and I don't think I wrote anything that suggested otherwise. Re his neck injury, it strikes me that Ward hoped he'd never ride again, has it was said that might be the case. But Nikki being Nikki overcame his problems and his back on a bike again. How deep would that stick in Ward's craw, I wonder ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Darce would have been world champion, one of the best number 1's ever seen in Swindon Robins colours, but unfortunately is a bit of a knobead at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Seemingly all the time he was not on the bike. All the gifts he was given as a person appear to have been with regard to riding a speedway bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigbo Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Fantastic speedway rider but an utterly dreadful human being. Way too much ego and opinion without even an average intellect with which to deliver it Traits which are sadly common in many modern day riders and promoters alike. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
