Austin Forkner & Sig Sauer
I wonder if Monster Energy or Pro Circuit Kawasaki signed off on using a photo of Austin on his factory bike for a firearm ad?
I ask because a few years ago Yamaha Factory racing dropped their title sponsor when they discovered they sold ammo.
using a race pic to sell Sig Sauer seems a bit weird- well that and I’m a Glock guy anyway…
I'll withhold any comments about accuracy and reliability related to Austin Forkner's riding 🤣.
Always great to see moto rider sponsorships that transcend the industry.
HK + Maico Make America Safe Again!
Interesting cross-promotion. I wonder if they will change the grip to blue if he ends up at ClubMX next year?

Which sponsor was dropped for selling ammo? I must have missed that kerflunkle.
Lots of layers. I bet Feld has some rights to the image, also.
Pretty cool. Sigs typically have a stiff trigger pull. Maybe the new 320 is better than the old 229.
It takes some guts and I hope everything is fine from each party because it is not a bad new source of revenue in the sport, exactly like CBD, gopro, etc. It is the US, it is different, so in this market for me it is a big pass.
Anyone that want to foot the bill is welcome. It is a very small industry relying too much on energy drinks and most will be be caught off guard if the wave retracts just a bit. Plus in the US that source of revenue is interesting, wealthy, and good for self defense in a time where for many people insecurity is a reality, so it may orientated a few just on tasers, soft balls, etc, no harm no foul.
At least Husqvarna, CZ, and BSA wouldn't have a hard decision to make on allowing guns to be used with their bikes...
Someone gets it.
As a Sig pistol guy, I fully approve of this Moto/Sig Sauer combination, and hope to see more of the firearms industry take note.
FROM a PRO 2A ABSOLUTIST I love this...
That's pretty cool.
But how many REALLY know what the Husky logo really is?😎. Some folks will need to go burn their Husky (in an environmentally friendly way, of course) when they find out.😂
Since those guns like to go off randomly if you look at them wrong I wonder if forkners bike will have a new feature where it accelerates full throttle at random?
Edit: wow so many downvotes, didn’t realize this site was full of SIGGERS! Hahahahahaha buy a Glock
One of my favorite pieces of trivia
When I lived in NH, I was 15 min from the Sig factory. It was getting expensive.
Pretty cool. I’ve got several sigs including the p365 that’s with me every day. My rattler is probably my favorite, though.

"YAMAHA FACTORY RACING TERMINATES SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH KNICH
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
February 21, 2018
https://motocross.transworld.net/news/yamaha-factory-racing-terminates-sponsorship-agreement-knich/
On Wednesday afternoon Yamaha issued a press release that stated they had ended their agreement with Knich, an upstart “action sports lifestyle brand” that had signed to a multi-year title sponsorship of the motocross program.
This news comes amid a very eventful time for the Yamaha team, as Davi Millsaps recently announced his retirement from racing due to an offseason injury along with Justin Barcia’s confirmation to stay with the team through the remainder of the year and then a hand injury that required surgery.
We and many others wondered what exactly Knich is, as it’s unusual for a brand-new company to become a major supporter of a factory team.
After talking to some people familiar with the company, we were told that Knich is the side project of an entrepreneur that is highly involved in ammunition and that Knich was created to side-step a restriction against firearm sponsorship.
The founder of Knich is a friend to Millsaps, hence the connection to the team."
...doesnt everyone know its a gun sight?
I thought that was common knowledge, like the Mercedes and BMW logos being tied to WW2 Nazi aircraft engines...
That’s so cool to see. Good on sig an AF
Well i supose Kawasaki are Champs at firing staff and riders, so why not colaborate?
Shouldn't be much of a problem.
Slr rifle works sponsors Mini Os
Both of those companies were building aircraft engines way before the goons ran Germany.
This must be why he needed brain surgery.
BMW logo predates WWII and their aircraft by many years. It’s just the Bavarian flag colors.
Props to forkner and Sig. cool crossover.
Here pictured is the privateer equivalent…
🤣🤣
I bet the Japanese honchos dont like it. The American Kawasaki guys wont trip.
