I'm going out on a limb to say that Reed calls it a career. Maybe we'll see a farewell tour, but I'm doubtful that we'll see him back for the full SX season. He hasn't ridden since Vegas (his own words); seems to be having a lot of fun focusing on his kids; would have to find a new team/deal; and hasn't had the greatest success these past few years compared to where he used to rank in the sport. I won't say that he "has nothing left to prove", as that is up to him. I don't see another race win for him, but would love to be proven wrong.
The guy loves the sport more than most, but at some point, the time comes to walk away from the racing and enjoy it in a different capacity. I could see him being a team manager or brand ambassador, but I've got my money on him settling into the moto dad role and maybe trying to get into four-wheel motorsports.
