    Ken said, over a year ago, that he didn't need the money; he was in it for the fun. This is what fun looks and sounds like.

    Watching this process makes me smile. Ken looks like he’s having fun being a free agent. Of all places, he ends up at the pro circuit test track on a pro circuit YZ 250 for the red Bull Street rhythm. They fly him in on the helicopter and then fly him out by helicopter. I think he’s really enjoying himself just being able to bounce around and do it for the love of it. I think this is a better business model for Ken now that he’s at the latter part of his career. He should just enjoy himself and race whenever he wants on whatever bike he wants. His name has enough star power that he can do that and bring a draw with him wherever he goes. Good luck Kenny , I’m pulling for you & PC/Ping.
