It's just not the same without K Dub at the starting gate. Glad you are going to be at the remaining rounds to say goodbye to your fans. I'll be lookin' for you in Indy.

He was Hammered!HAHA! Now thats a people's champ.Great career and knew when it was time to throw in the towel.
I seen him at many SX/MX races the last 20 years and he did shit I never seen a rider do.For instance...Glen Helen '03.
There was a huge rut in the turn going up the face of a jump which was pretty steep and 12-15' high.He came thru with his handlebars turned going straight up the face eliminating the 20" rut.
Myself, Brother and buddy looked at each other in disbelief.
Anaheim 3 '05.Coming into a slick corner on the front brake to the inside on the brakes and the rear wheel was not touching the ground for about 25 ft until he was at the apex of the turn.
Bad Dude.

It's been pure excitement watching you at the races Kevin. Anytime you were on the line I thought you could pull off the win. We're going to miss you on the track, but we look foward to your future as a color analyst on tv. You always seem to have great insight and the best way with words. Fan for life!!!!

K Dub rocks !
Looking at the ears tucked in the caps, and a ski cap in 70 degree weather just looks so ridiculous. If that's a style statement, then they have made it.

The retirement of Kevin Windham from racing is sad for most of us, the guy is one of the true "Iron Men" of racing dirtbikes... I am looking foward to seeing him as ambassador for the sport and hope to run into him in Seattle.
