Hugh Janus Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Harley-Davidson Factory Racer Kyle Wyman Claims King of the Baggers Points Lead (Harley-Davidson/)Harley-Davidson Press Release:Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing rider Kyle Wyman took over the MotoAmerica® Mission King of the Baggers points lead with a dominating win on Saturday and a second-place finish on Sunday in a double-header weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, Calif. Aboard a race-prepared 2024 Road Glide® motorcycle, Wyman also broke his own track record in qualifying and won the Mission King of the Baggers Challenge. RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Gillim won on Sunday as Harley-Davidson riders locked out the King of the Baggers race podiums all weekend.“For the Harley Factory Team, the great weekend really started on Friday,” said Wyman. “It put us a step ahead and I was really feeling the flow on the track right away. This Harley Road Glide is a beast and we won going away on Saturday. On Sunday, it took me a few laps to get pace but I’ll take nothing away from Hayden. He really wanted the win and I’m concerned with points for the championship so didn’t want to take a chance on the last lap.”In the Mission Super Hooligan race series, Saddlemen/Harley-Davidson rider Cory West rode a race-prepared Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 Special motorcycle to his second win of the season on Sunday after finishing second on Saturday. KWR/Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Schultz finished third on Saturday. Saddlemen/Harley-Davidson rider Jake Lewis finished second on Sunday. West was also the top qualifier and moved into second place in the series.Wyman led all King of the Baggers qualifiers with a time of 1:28.182, breaking the lap record he set in 2023. Wyman also won the three-lap Mission King of the Baggers Challenge on Saturday. Starting from pole position on Saturday, Wyman led every lap of the nine-lap Mission King of the Baggers feature race. In the opening laps, Wyman led a group that included Harley-Davidson Factory Racing rider James Rispoli, RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson riders Hayden Gillim and Rocco Landers, Factory Indian rider Troy Herfoss and SDI/Roland Sands Racing Indian rider Bobby Fong. Wyman gradually opened a gap of about 1 second on Gillim, with Landers and Herfoss trailing. Herfoss ran off the track on lap 8, and later that same lap Landers got by Gillim to take second place. Wyman crossed the finish line 2.666 seconds clear of Landers with Gillim in third place followed by Fong and Rispoli. Herfoss finished 11th.On Sunday, Wyman again led the King of the Baggers off the start with Gillim and Fong in pursuit. Gillim executed a daring pass for the lead at the top of the infamous Corkscrew turn on lap 3, but Wyman took the lead back with a pass in turn 2 on lap 6. On lap 8, Gillim got past Wyman again in the Corkscrew, and Fong dropped out with a mechanical problem. Gillim crossed the finish line 0.188 seconds ahead of Wyman. Landers made a last-lap pass of Herfoss to grab third place. Rispoli finished fifth.“I knew I had to take whatever shot I could at Kyle. He’s riding really good,” said Gillim. “I’m really happy. My team gave me a good machine. We have the number one plate on there and the team deserves to see this bike up front.”“It was a trying weekend that ended with a confidence boost and being able to get back into the fight and really put together a solid race,” said Rispoli following the Sunday race. “It’s not where we want to be, but we’ll take it. And I couldn’t be more proud of the team for leading the championship with Kyle.”After 12 of 18 rounds in the 2024 MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series, Wyman takes over the championship standings with 237 points, bumping Herfoss to second place with 223 points. Gillim moves up to third place with 176 points, followed by O’Hara with 161 points, Rispoli with 130 points, and Landers with 106 points.After 6 of 10 rounds in the 2024 Mission Super Hooligan series, S&S/Indian rider Tyler O’Hara leads with 110 points.

Buckster Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 7 hours ago, Marcel le Moose Fondler said: That's just earsay...discussion floating around on other bike forums...Indian won't cave in like Harley to this woke crap. I'm sure Victory motorcycle will have at least some success in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 They say that even Victory is too similar in meaning to Triumph, they might have to choose another new name altogether. Wing Shong or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I may be alone in this but I think the Victory's I have seen locally are way cooler looking bikes than Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree, in fact they are planning on changing the Indian Challenger name to the Victory Speedball because you would need to be high to buy one when you could get a Harley. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 44 minutes ago, Marcel le Moose Fondler said: A friend with the red chopper just bought a 2024 roadglide...I guess the bike is 3 inches shorter..He bought the detachable tour pack...and it hasn't got any room to carry a passenger i guess...He took it back...I was looking at it the other day...I just don't know about the fairing...it looks oversize for the bike..the new dash is nice ..I'll give them that... that...still haven't heard anything yet...if he's getting the roadglide limited instead... There are two different racks for the detachable tour pak, one that sets it so the tour pak is used as a rider backrest, maybe he got that one.

Buckster Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 4 minutes ago, Marcel le Moose Fondler said: No I don't think so...I think it's a roadglide standard...same has a street glide...to me those are single rider machines...doesn't have the touring seat.....think that might be where the problem is...should have bought a two up machine like the limited made to carry a passenger.. Just put a touring seat on it, I have two seats for mine. I guess the challenger is made for guys who have a wife to tell them what to do, like bitches called Marcel.
