I don't need to think of parmiggiano and prosciutto to give that accent respect!!!

However, most riders speak English (in some form or other)....so English is riders language, and if they don't speak it now they all learn at somepoint in their career....


Hey!..don't think Nicks "American English" is the norm over here...The U.S. is a big place and the language varies through out.....not our fault we have bigger back yards than most FULL COUNTRIES.

I can assure you that there are more dialects in this tiny full country of the UK than in the US...a dialect can vary mile by mile here....

Since it was brought up I was born and grew up mostly in Cleveland, Ohio ( I also spend a good deal of youth in Mexico City). I was an undergrad in southern Ohio, and graduate student in Texas (were my parents still live). My last home in the US and where still vote absentee was San Francisco, CA. I travel for work a lot, which how I met my South Yorkshire wife (My Father in Law lives across the street from JT grandparents), and I have been in the UK since 2001...

So yes, I have been to the Southern US (my sister lives in Atlanta and I visit her every couple of years), I visit my parents every year, and I am American (Mexican American to be precise)....I have every right to hold my opinons and views on the US and Americans (which include me)

And I speak English and I write in American!

You have to be able to laugh at yourself and your own first...

Dude, what ever bad experience you had in the US to hate Nicky or Americans in general, I hope you can someday get over it. You obviously have lived here and know what people are about, which doesn't seem that different anywhere else in the western world (I've been enough to Europe and the UK to know we are basically very similar). Not sure why your other posts take digs at Americans (or just Southern ones named Hayden). Knowing that you are from Mexico City would made me think you would be a little more accepting since that city is so cosmopolitan. But maybe somebody stole your girlfriend here and you left to the UK to find yourself a replacement, I don't know, but you sound bitter.

"You have to be able to laugh at yourself and your own first..." Agree, so start laughing more and quit your hating.
