King of the Baggers Battle Suddenly Seems Rather Serious



If you were expecting a bunch of beer-gutted C-listers to be riding the 11 Harley-Davidson and two Indian baggers in MotoAmerica’s inaugural King of the Baggers race coming up next Saturday at Laguna Seca, you’re in for a surprise. The entry list includes some serious talent, including former World Superbike champ Ben Bostrom. Better pack a lunch in those bags. If you can’t be in Monterey (and not many people can, thanks to Covid restrictions), find out how you can watch live at the link below (along with all the other races at the MotoAmerica GEICO Motorcycle Superbike Speedfest at Monterey).

MotoAmerica Press Release:

Ben Bostrom, Josh Herrin And More Stars Set To Compete
IRVINE, CA (October 16, 2020) ? As eye-opening as the built-to-the-hilt V-twin Baggers set to compete in the Drag Specialties King of the Baggers are, the list of riders set to do battle on them at the iconic WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca is equally as stout. And a fight it promises to be on Saturday afternoon, October 24, as the Baggers will highlight the opening day of racing in the MotoAmerica GEICO Motorcycle Superbike Speedfest at Monterey.
