Every year, just a couple of days before A1, the employees of
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. gather in the large open atrium to meet and greet the racers that will be representing them in the dirt. This year the Monster Energy Kawasaki off-road and motocross teams kicked of the ceremony with a short Q&A session followed by the company’s president handing out championship rings and awards. This year Broc Tickle, Dean Wilson and
Ryan Villopoto collected some bling. RV was also surprised with a fully tricked-out
2012 Kawasaki Teryx4. Afterwards all the riders signed autographs for all the employees and their family. Check out some photos from the event.
