King of the Baggers series are racing at Road Atlanta this coming weekend. The bikes are getting faster, what started out as a novelty idea is gaining traction with the fans. These things are not the slugs you think about when you hear the word baggers and road racing in the same sentence. Below is the schedule for the rest of the year, if they are in your area and like road racing check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

The times we have ridden together and me giving it all I got, sparks flying,  you are always right on my six, I don’t have to look, I hear your stereo jamming. When I do look you seem to be on a leisurely ride through the country taking in the scenery.   

I hope we can do it again this year

The racing was action packed, hats off to the HD SE team for the win, they earned it.  I’m looking forward to the next one.

They had a 3 lap challenge race for 5 grand, winner takes all before the main event, top 6 qualifiers was in this race based on their qualifying runs, it also determined the starting positions for the top six in the main event a 8 lap race, #99 Indian qualified 7th place, so not invited for this race. The time had come for the challenge race and #99 lined up iast n the grid. The officials pushed him off to the side in the grass, there was some confusion back and forth. They started the race and he peeled out to join them, he got black flagged. Jeremy McWilliams #99 just wanted to race, he started #7 in the main event and finished 4th. This story just stuck out to me and I’ve seen nothing official about it, I like his enthusiasm.

#99 took a tumble in practice and had to do the slide in turn 1 for some odd reason, the gent is 58 years old. I'm a big fan and when I hit the lottery he will own a race team.

In reference to confusion about challenge race. Initially they had two qualifying runs to determine starting position, #99 finished 6th in 2nd qualifier and he thought he earned a position. I guess qualifier 2 run was nullified. It’s all I got for explanation if anyone cares.

Most interesting.  Is it open only to HD and Indian, or can ALL Baggers run?  I'd like to see the BMW Grand America, Honda GoldWing, Yamaha FJ, Kawasaki Concours 14 in competition too.

They say just for american v-twins  this started kinda as a novelty thing by the owner of drag specialties. It quickly morphed into full fledged race bikes, HD had gotten out of all there factory backed racing venues. The first few races Indian challenger showed how superior they were right off the showroom. HD brought on the SE race team and vowed to be on top. S&S manages Indian race program as they do their flat track program with the FTR line. HD won the championship last year in the King of the Baggers series. Search on youtube KOTB series and watch a few videos, they're impressive and gaining a fan base.

 The Indian/HD rivalry is good for us consumers the way I see it. Racing sells and always will.

Obviously I like it.

The old saying was, win on Sunday Sell on Monday

[Phreakyz]

Everyone continues to say that the Ind Challenger is so "Superior" with it's liquid cooled engine, monoshock rear & integrated frame, but the Ancient Framed, Dual Rear Shocked Air Cooled HD's sure seem to be kicking butt on the Road Courses??!!

The HD SE team placed 1st and 2nd this week at Road America with Indian taking 3rd in the KOTB series. It seems there is four to five contenders in these races and the rest of the field is just there. Good job for the Harley team.
