Let me be clear, King of the Baggers is a cool-ass racing series. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that 700-pound baggers done up to become race-spec bikes would've made for such nail-biting racing. It's just cool.
I got my first in-person experience with King of the Baggers at COTA this year during MotoGP weekend and the sound that those motorcycles made echoing off the circuit's grandstands still lives in my ears. And the riders are amazing athletes. I mean, you have to be in order to wrestle those machines around a track.
But when Harley-Davidson announced that it'd be sending series champ Kyle Wyman and James Rispoli to Barcelona for MotoGP's annual pre-season test following the series' season finale, I couldn't help but wonder "Huh? What's this for?"
