Honestly, I was half-skeptical at first about attacking a track on a bagger. But speaking from what I've seen on the ground, the skill to lean that huge frame is real. If a former GP rider as good as Smith enters as a wildcard, there's plenty to watch from corner entry to exit. Worth checking out at the British GP.

Surprised bagger racing's picking up in Europe too, even at Silverstone.

Baggers weigh close to 400kg, right? That's physically pushing it lol.

Apparently it's precisely because they're heavy that brakes and tires become the showcase.

A former MotoGP rider taking a bagger wildcard entry, that's some serious range.

Dragging a knee on something that heavy is oddly thrilling, want to see Smith do it.

Attacking a circuit on a bagger honestly just looks surreal.

That's exactly what's cool about it, America's weird racing culture is the best.
