Kenny has won a 450 outdoor title as well as some SuperCross races, hence he is a more valuable signing than Tickle. If Tickle were to win an outdoor title and some SuperCross races he would be in the position to demand more pay.

God, I'm glad I was born in the USA!!!
You forgot to add "and not born in a ghetto to a meth head mother"...just sayin'...perspective brother.

So what does a satellite team rider make ? What if he struggles to qualify for the main? Or doesn't qualify? I bet he would be happy at 60,000 a year!

I love the way you. People giving out just pick this year , and say tickle earns this much this year. It's like this when he was going 450 after winning a 250f sx champ. He prob signed to rch for a hell of a lot more . And fact Is if he goes out and win s a race. At the wk end he could double his contract pay. Js7 making 5 times less than k rock. Makes Alot of sence. In fact he is lucky he is getting payed anything at the mo. I think most team s would have done a millshaps on it imo

I think a lot of you are just guessing what you tjink these riders make, Tickle makes a lot more then 100k and Ken is not making 5 mill.

A good area to find new income is the winter SX in Europe.

He is a solid top 10 and has a pretty good name, the fact that he is a bit slower than Stewart etc makes it more interesting for racing and less humiliating for the euros too Smile . His agent should look into it, maybe he can double his income !

He probably has close to 40x more wins, led 40x the amount of laps, and finished on the podium 40x more.

So yea, he is. Maybe Tickle should do something on the weekend to stand out and pick up some sponsors.

$100,000 a year salary...it doesn't sound like much for the risk but there's another alternative. No salary, no free bikes or parts, no expense account for travel and food, no one prepping your bike between races, practice, no factory parts, suspensions or motors...
