Forkner Ready
For Change
A
fter 14 years with Kawasaki, much of the
time spent with Monster Energy Pro Cir-
cuit Kawasaki team, Austin Forkner is making
a change. He announced his official depar-
ture from the team via social media.
"From Ryan Holliday and Team Green to
Tod and Aaron at Fox who signed me origi
-
nally, then to Mitch and the whole PC team,
and Kenny at Fox now, as well as everyone
else who's been a part of my program, I want
to say thank you. Everything comes to an end
eventually, but I appreciate the effort from
everyone over the years, and I'll cherish the
good times and memories with each and every
one of these guys. Thank you for believing in me,
sticking by me, and being more than just a team.
I've made some lifelong relationships, and I am
forever grateful. Thank you!"
Ever since turning pro, Forkner has dealt with
injuries and has yet to show what he's capable of
in an entire championship. Forkner is expected to
join the factory Triumph organization alongside
teammates Jalek Swoll and Jordon Smith.
