Bagger racing has gained popularity with Andrea Iannone's recent win in the Bagger World Cup, and now he is calling on MotoGP legends Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner to join him.
Iannone's victory was impressive considering he only rode the bike just days before the event, and his enthusiasm for the sport is infectious.
The Italian believes that the technological simplicity of the BWC makes it an ideal platform for riders who want to experience a more raw form of racing.
With its 2,152cc engines, massive power and torque, and minimal aerodynamics or electronic aids, bagger racing offers a unique challenge for riders.
Iannone's comments after the race were laced with excitement and a sense of possibility, as he urged Rossi and Stoner to give it a try.
The idea is not just about entertainment value, but also about attracting big names from MotoGP's past to the series.
Liberty Media's efforts to boost MotoGP's popularity in the US could be a key factor in enticing legendary riders like Rossi and Stoner to join the bagger racing scene.
If bagger racing continues to deliver the sort of high-octane action that Iannone enjoyed, his 'stupid idea' might not be so silly after all.
The simplicity of the BWC's technology could make it an attractive option for riders looking for a change of pace and a more raw form of competition.
