Default MotoAmerica King of the Baggers, who's watching?

2024 Season is pretty much near it's end.
Kyle Wyman Leads the championship standings as of today by 2 Points.
I'll be watching Live and was wondering who else has been watching or will be watching tomorrow and sunday?

2025 Season was also announced as well.
I could not find a thread really about this for this forum so after this weekend this thread can be for following King of the Baggers.

I watch all the races and enjoy them. The competition among Harley Factory, Harley Indy, and Indian is fun to follow.

Kyle Vs Troy has been absolutely intense this year, and it's really amped up the competitive feel.
If Indian had not signed Troy, then Indian wouldnt be able to stand up to the harleys at all.
But Troy has smooth skills to match Kyle's next level riding.

Both of them are super nice people every time we see them which is wholesome.
Just wish Motoam didnt put the races behind a 7 Day delay. I could understand if you didnt catch it live not hosting a VOD. But they dont even do live coverage.
15$ at the end of the season to watch the races live isn't the worst.

Today at New Jersey in the rain at the straight away speed trap, on wet tires they were clocking 150mph+.
One of the baggers clocked 182mph at Daytona.
Kyle was saying they're nearly at Pole times of the supersport(600cc supersport bikes) class.

Looking to their lap times i would say they have average between Supersport and Supersport 300 classes.

About the same times as the Moto 3 bikes at COTA, which are single cylinder 250cc.
But they sound good.

Rocco, Kyle, and Troy all posted speeds damn near on par with the 600super sport today at NJ, 600cc inline 4 supersports.

Their website or youtube.
They have a 1 week delay on the youtube releases though. It used to be same day.
This year I watched on youtube until the last round, and spent 14$ to watch the last round live.

Race 1 of this weekend just wrapped up.

It would be nice if there was 50 and 100 lap races. That would be awesome.
