It’s been an exciting weekend for motorcycle enthusiasts as the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta hosted a number of MotoAmerica events. For us, by far the most spectacular was the first race of what is now the King of the Baggers series. 8 photos
Born last year as a single run at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, King of the Baggers morphed for 2021 into a small series of three races, and attracted significantly more involvement from both Indian and Harley-Davidson. The former went on the starting grid with no fewer than three factory-backed teams, while the latter enlisted its own factory team and backed four other Harley-Davidson riders.

It’s not long now until the first-ever MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series kicks off. It will happen this weekend at the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, when Harley and Indian baggers will line up on the starting grid of the first-of-three race in the competition. 15 photos
The King of the Baggers event was first held last year as a single race that went down in history. Then, two specially prepared Indian Challengers, ridden by Tyler O’Hara and Frankie Garcia, not only managed to fend off a large pack of Harley-Davidsons, but clinched the first and last positions of the podium.
