Default David Knight on a Kawi!

Maybe old news to some of you but I just read about David Knight jumping ship from BMW, getting an a Kawi (KX450) and winning the gnarliest endruo race in the US series.

GO TEAM GREEN!

yeah, it was KTM for a while and then BMW enticed him over. Seems like the Beemer never got sorted enough, he had a bad fall and hit his head. So he got the F outta there, and ended up W/a Kawi. yeah!!!
