Super bummed for Kenny. Stewart may have a shot at a factory honda ride after all.

Guys at Honda have to be panicking right now, they need some kind of return on their investment

Rather see tomac on that bike. I know there's like a 0.05% chance of that happening and at this point it may not make a difference for Eli. But I'd still rather see Eli than anyone else on that bike.

Though it would be cool seeing Stewart on it too as it seems to be a great bike.

I would think Brayton will get it if they keep a 2nd bike out there.

JS7 draws 100 time bigger crowd than Wilson & ain't in the same league. So let's hear why Wilson deserves it?

JS7 isn't happening on HRC. HRC doesn't play well with entourages.

i actually said that a lap before ken got hurt.

Ken is really young... honda will not give up on him.... look how long they stayed behind Trey.


i'm not superstitious but sheesh.... canard many times, tomac, now kenny. this sport is brutal but the honda team seems to have more than their share of bad injuries to their top riders as of late.

Only logical scenario I see happening.

Not going to happen. I am sure Honda wants the bike on the track. Kenny can make appearances like Bubba when injured.

Great post! I thought about this as soon as Ken went down.

Of course, he could got to Kawasaki as well. He can't do any worse than Eli Slowmac is riding. It's pretty bad when the second rider on the team is outperforming the star of the team.

The 2nd rider got a 9th & 11th other two races.

Deano all day. Stew isn't even riding for all we know. Dean is already in elite form, just needs good equipment.

44 Points to 38 points in the standings with Grant getting better and Tomac getting worse.

There is no way Stew gets that ride. I'm not even going to say Deano will get it, but definitely not JS7. HRC is not going to pull somebody straight off the couch after he hasn't tried to get out there and race.

I know, why would they want the guy 2nd all time in SX wins riding their bike??? (Insert eye roll)

WAY too much idiocy on these boards.

Or Honda have already spent a shit load of coin on Ken, they know he will be back so why spend big on a fill in rider, especially when they have Seely out there who will podium nine times out of ten this year and can win races.

If they do put a second bike out there, my bet would be Brayton, Fast Freddy or maybe recruit in Dean or Malcom.

Would definitely like to see Deano step in. And tbh, would like to JS7 on it, but in reality, he's done.

If James was at all ready and prepared to race, we wouldn't be talking about him for a fill in, he'd already have a ride.

It would make more sense for Mookie to slide in the Honda spot, as he was with Honda/FC-
Ride365 could then slide James on the Suzuki-
