Harley-Davidson Racing

[ESOXER]

I started watching this series last night. We're planning on attending the Road America race on Memorial Day weekend next year. The Harley/Indian rivalry is still a thing.

Indian has some serious machines. HD blew it when they shitcanned Buell... no love lost here, I hope HD gets their *** handed to them. Street/consumer bikes? Indian is light years ahead of HD. HD has been playing catch-up for years.

Indian was sold to a private equity firm this year. We'll see what happens with them.
I always wanted a Buell XB12s, yeah bad decision on canceling that.

I never seen the baggers race
I knew Arlen Ness (RIP) casually,
he was a partner of a former neighbor's Nostalgia T/F Dragster
I knew he was a big part of bringing Indians back...

& I don't follow bikes much now, other than NHRA Drag racing
I did like the Buell's & Indians in concept, never owned any

They also have a "Super Hooligan" class.
Very entertaining. Races are found on YouTube. One episode was super cool, Kyle Wyman got his old XR750 out and did flat track at Elkhorn. He put a seat on his bike that belonged to a fallen female rider.

Only motorcycle speeding ticket I ever got was while test riding a Buell....

Mission King of the Baggers racing rocks! HD number one in 2025 by a bunch. #2-3 Indian. Mission Super Hooligan HD swept #1-5, Yamaha #6. They must be doing something right.

2002, release of the Buell XB lineup. Daytona bike week test drives. Erik (Buell) tells all of us "no passing the lead rider". We get back, Erik asks how it went. "You told us not to pass the lead rider...half the time, we couldn't even SEE the lead rider!!" Erik just grinned...."yea, we have fun..."
