:( I just saw on SD dualsport Ken Kosiorek passed away while riding up in big bear, Ken was famous for riding the big XR from his house to the baja 1000 finishing and riding back home! you might know his name from the KC incident. RIP Ken!

I met him at the pit in El Arco in 2012. We checked the fluids on his bike, pumped him full of fluids to hydrate him and asked him to take a quick nap. He looked exhausted. Anyway, cool cat. Sorry for the loss. RIP.

Thanks for posting the cover of his comic/coloring book willardguy. I heard the news from my stepson at RaceWorks. Ken was real close to Carlos and the gang at Baja Pits, as well.
