Ping Sad Ken Didn’t Thank Him

I'm sure that Ping has thoroughly thanked everyone who helped him throughout his illustrious career.  Would love to hear both sides to this story. Maybe ken went into it with the stipulation "Sure I'll ride that bike, but Ping is a toolbox" ?

Long story short: No Toil sponsors someone bitching that someone didn't say thank you to them. Mentions they weren't looking for anything in return but make it quite clear that they wanted the content SHARED. Waaaa...

"I'm not impressed" 

And accused Ken of failing or bailing on a drug test weeks later at WSX / costing him a supposed KTM ride…got into an Instagram war with his agent… Then Ken called him a shit stick on Pulp a week or two later.

Thank god I don’t have to deal with this anymore. 

One thing Dave has ken don’t , when someone says “ my bike fuckn pingreed on me” you know exactly what that means

Someone needs attention on a Friday!

At his core Ping is a good dude but man he has gone off the deep end in a lot of ways. 

Like Ping or not.....he has a point.   Isolate this one event.     For Ken to not thank him for letting him use the bike and the work Ping put into it....not cool.     That's "prima-donna" behavior.     

...and for the record, I'm a fan of Ken and Ping. 

Maybe Ken heard Ping say that he was "practically a nazi" on his podcast? 

What pod episode was that? He said that?

Screw Ping. He was really cool when he came on Pulp but somewhere in there he really got soaked up in politics. And my opinion moto and politics shouldn’t cross paths, yeah have opinions but man he made it all about that. Then when he started his podcast he got mega arrogant talking about how popular (so he thought) his show was, he’s not impressed with KEN ROCZEN? What a dildo. 

Yah I agree that since he started to bring more politics into his views on Moto I like his stuff less. I still listen here and there to see if its different. For the most part the stuff I've heard of his is just little digs here and there towards the side he leans politically. Which I can deal with when its a good guest. I liked him much better before he became an angry old man yelling to get off his lawn.

  I can understand why he's bummed out about not getting thanked. But I'm really surprised Ping has been around Pro Moto this long and is surprised about not getting thanked at a one off race. Seems like somebody gets left out here and there on the podium speeches. I kinda think that Kenny should have not ridden the bike if he had a problem with Ping before then. Who knows maybe Kenny didn't realize it was so much work for Ping, or Assumed Ping was getting the content from the deal and felt that was enough for his part. My personal feelings aside for both parties, I think Kenny should have thanked him. But at the sametime , making a video about not being thanked is not super classy either.

I must have missed it ... did Ken say "I can't thank Ping " ?

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives

Kind of weird if he never thanked him at all.

But who knows, there is always 2 sides to the story, maybe KR didn’t know what was involved etc. maybe Kenny already had issues with Ping because of other matters.

Still doesn’t justify him basically accusing him of doping weeks later.

Ping acts like a 13 year old girl with a lot of these beefs he has.

Ping quite often acts like the snowflake he accuses others of being 

The Bob Hannah episode.

Hannah goes: "I'm surprised he didn't win with all those parts on there."

GL: "Well, they don't build 'em like they use to. Riders that is"

Ping: "He's German, you know? He's practically a nazi. How's he gonna win?"

 Pretty much everything David Pingree has said or posted on this and other interweb sites I've mainly agreed with. It's called common sense.

Oh, wait, Ping called me the "Lord of the Idiots" recently. 

"I like someone or dislike someone based on their character..." 

And yet he froths at the mouth supporting a guy with "great character" like DJT. LMFAO. 

So Ping makes unsubstantiated claims that Roczen dodged a drug test and lost a ride over it, and called him "basically a Nazi", and his side of story is that Roczen didn't thank him for getting him a bike for RBSR?

I have as many Supercross championships as Pingree, and I'm not impressed.

He isn't wrong.     Lol

Take the fame/infamy and Ping hatred out of the equation.  Make the scenario personal and answer this honestly.  

YOU lend a bike to a buddy.    YOU do a bunch of work on it to prep it for your buddy.

Buddy leaves bike on the curb after he's finished with it and doesn't say thank you to you for loaning it to him and the work you put into it. 

What is your reaction?

You're a damn liar if you don't think that's f**ked.

I don't agree with everything he says.....but I do agree with the general common sense thing.

Ping used to be my favourite cohost on the Pulp show and enjoyed when he was on the Racer X review podcast with Matthes and Weege but he’s made it increasingly hard to remain a fan of him and his content

What I don’t do in the scenario is go moaning  about it on the  internet 

He’s not the Ping I once enjoyed , that’s for sure.

In the past I watched all sorts of Ping content online and read his articles. I enjoyed it all and respected his opinion. Fast forward to today and I skip anything with his name attached. I would even switch brands if I found a manufacturer I use supporting him. That sentiment is 100% due to his political beliefs and how he derides anyone who thinks differently.
