Most of this board bashes 94 for various reasons, but he sure commands every one's attention during this normal quiet off-season period. And yes it is very cool that Ken is transparent and posting updates frequently.

Hopefully this change from Honda has him fired up, healthy, and ready to compete for the coveted '23 SX Championship.

Tomac, Anderson, Webb, KR, Sexton, Frenchy, Mookey, MooseCan, plus others.....Wow, stacked!

The bikes took a hit in the looks department with the new title sponsor but hopefully it's just a temp mock up. The HEP/Twisted Suzuki's have been some of the best looking bikes in the pits.




Seeing Kenny a 'Zuk again is some welcomed nostalgia.

For the people who shit talk Kenny about social media, how cool is it that he literally updates us day by day on what bike he’s riding. No hiding, secrets and rumours. I think that’s pretty special, and we are lucky he is so open and dgaf.
Not exactly difficult to do when you're not under contract with a team/manufacturer.

Gold wheels and some yellow shrouds and she'd be a looker. The old Twisted Tea bikes looked legit

I could get behind this as long as they kept the black seat. The yellow one on the Twisted Tea bikes was a bit too much for me.

Still, I couldn’t imagine many of our elite guys just posting videos and photos everyday they hop on a new bike to show us. You have to agree it’s pretty cool we have something interesting to observe this off-season.

Also quite a good play by Kenny in general media wise.
I know it's come from the weird split with HRC and it's bound to be a talking point if a big dog has no ride this late.
But he's done a good job of keeping himself front and centre in the media / social stuff and keeping it interesting.
Even if he does have the odd randomly worded or weirdly angry Insta post now and again.

KR on the Suzuki is a good thing.

Kenny has a bad season, blame the bike.

Kenny has a great season, he becomes more the hero/icon that he is.

I think I read that Suzuki is willing to pay win bonuses.

Yep and other people will just blame the bike too if he does bad . It takes all the pressure off . Which is what I think he needs the most . Come in as an underdog . A happy ken wins races imo . Plus I think that bike is more than good enough to win ..if he got 3 rd overall in SX points people would be cheering him . On factory honda if he gets 3 rd people say it's a terrible year .

It doesn't need to be psychoanalzed....it literally means grimacing....I would also bet good money that Kenny knows exactly what it means.

From there, well I guess we can speculate away what he's grimacing about

I think someone else was correct he meant to pose it as a question he wasn’t giving his opinion.

“All jokes aside…

Opinions on the set up? 😬”

No!

I am simply posting the description from Emojipedia.

Then based on the context of the question, I highlighted the appropriate example.

Perhaps instead of psychoanalyze, you meant use on of the following words?

deduct
glean
infer
presuppose
surmise
analyze
assume
cogitate
collect
conceive
conclude
consider
deem
derive
draw
fancy
figure
gather
imagine
judge
make
presume
ratiocinate
reason
regard
add up
boil down
make out
take to mean

I finally went to IG and looked at the full post, I'm not totally against this theory.

I think if he was talking shit he probably wouldn't have posted so many photos.

If it’s true that Suzuki is willing to pay bonus then that is some great news for any Suzuki fan.
