King of the Baggers?

Post by Rockburner »

Ok - this hasn't happened due to the world's issues (which amazing actually affected 'Murica), but....

Is this not going to be the most amusing thing to watch?! :D (if it ever happens)

Blimey - it'll be more interesting than Amercian Superbike racing!
Baggers? Going racing? Yep, it’s a thing. In fact, it’s been a thing for years and now, it’s getting its own dang event from the sanctioning body of American motorcycle racing!

That’s right, MotoAmerica and Drag Specialties are bringing bagger roadracing to a famously twisted and kinked-up road course—Northern California’s storied Laguna Seca track—in a first-ever event called King of the Baggers. The highly customized V-twins will be invading this summer—Saturday, July 11, to be exact.

I'd watch that.

I wonder how many of the entrants will finish. :lol:

This one caught my eye: Honda CB175, which I had as my first bike. If racing in 2019 that means it must be about 45 years old!

Even bland can be a type of character :wave:
