The asphalt at Circuit of the Americas is about to get a massive wake-up call. We are kicking off Round 1 of the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup in Austin, Texas. There is no better place to drop the clutch on the new season than at COTA, a world-class track that demands absolute precision, respect, and a whole lot of throttle.

To make the stakes even higher, we’re sharing the weekend with the premier class of motorcycle racing: MotoGP. While they bring the carbon fiber and aerospace engineering, we’re bringing the heavy metal.

If you’ve never seen a Bagger race live, you need to recalibrate your expectations. This isn't a highway cruise. This is 800 pounds of American V-twin muscle being pushed to the absolute edge of physics. It’s scraping hard parts at 100+ mph, battling for every inch of the racing line, and wrestling a heavyweight machine through sweeping corners that were designed for lightweight prototypes.

It takes a specific type of mindset to push a bagger this hard. It takes grit, resilience, and a total refusal to back down. That’s the exact performance DNA that fuels everything we do at Joe Rascal.

Whether you're in the grandstands catching the scent of race fuel, or tuning in from the garage while you turn wrenches on your own build, this is a weekend you do not want to miss.

We’ll be in the paddock all weekend long. Come track us down, talk bikes, and see the machines up close before they hit the grid.

And if you're one of the Rascal's, get your hand on our team merch before Race 1!
