Is there no interest in the bagger races ? I do watch them .. not as good as Motogp but I still like to watch. I notice that the stands are almost empty. Curious about the communities level of interest.

 

I keep track, and had planned to go to the final race in NJ the last two years, except it poured rain both times and therefore wasn't "worth the price of admission". Hoping this year for better and will be attending if not a washout.

 

I've been watching motogp and world superbike for over 30 years and never miss a race but I have zero interest in the baggers series.

 

Quit interested. Face it, t's not like the old days. They came to see Kenny and Freddie battle it out. If anything, the sign up for the 'tour the track' had HD over any other bikes in the mix. Was close to the winners circle and someone named Williams was on an Indian in the hooligan class. He tried to light up a burnout in the arena and it jumped forward a few times rather than break loose. Way too sticky of a slick right off the track.

Sorry, but you had to hear the sound of that engine note when he tried it. Almost wanted to buy one just for the sound. Whatever bikes they use on the HD end, they start out as a full blown bagger, or can use the cheap seat HD that comes with bags. Cannot modify the frame at all, but swing, forks, trees, and brakes are open. Ever see a truck with a lift kit? That' how they stand...(exaggerating a little).

For me it's all about the sound. When they start is one sound. When they exit turn 11 at Laguna Seca the steel tables rattle. Superbikes won't echo a vibe.

 

no denying motogp is more interesting to watch.

 

Here's how I see Bagger Racing. For what, to prove to the masses that if ya got big bucks n ***** you too can take curves fast on a bagger.

 

I would watch, but they don't seem to advertise the races at all and I have no idea if they are on TV. They don't race at a track anywhere near me.

 

I absolutely love the baggers racing. I think it's probably the coolest thing in racing I've ever seen.
That being said, MotoAmerica did screw up bad this year and they put the baggers race behind Paid Live broadcast. So you have to watch the baggers race on their app/Website, or you have to watch the highlight reel and full race a week later.

 

Fun to see the Harley/ Indian rivalry.

 

I watch all of the bagger races on YouTube. For a 620+lb bike they do very well getting them around the track. Of course the Harley - Indian rivalry adds a level of interest for me.
