Saddlemen’s Race Development team is excited to announce that it will compete in the 2024 MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers and the Mission Super Hooligan series. Building on the success of the 2023 season, Saddlemen will continue to partner with Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle and Mission Foods as they prepare for what looks to be a very competitive eight-round Bagger and four-round Hooligan series in 2024.
In 2024, veteran riders Cory West and Jake Lewis will continue to represent Team Saddlemen along with a new rider, Tavis Wyman. Travis is a talented rider, and we are excited about the dynamic he will bring to this year’s team.
Cory West #13, Jake Lewis #85, and Travis Wyman #10 will each ride a race-prepped 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide® Limited motorcycle. Wrapped in matching Saddlemen race carbon-fiber bodywork and powered by a Screamin’ Eagle Twin-Cooled™ 131ci Milwaukee-Eight powertrain in the Mission King Of The Baggers class.
All three riders will also compete this season in the Mission Foods Super Hooligan Series. New for 2024 each will be riding a stripped-down and highly modified Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 featuring Saddlemen’s latest carbon-fiber race body work.
For 2024 Patricia Fernandez-West will step away from riding and assume the role of Director of Operations, heading up team logistics, sponsorship, and media, and John Sanders will assume the responsibilities of Team Manager.
In 2024 Team Saddlemen’s Road Glide® motorcycles will use the recently available factory-developed racing parts from Harley-Davidson and Screamin’ Eagle. We are confident it will be an exciting year with talented and experienced riders, partners, and sponsors, including Harley-Davidson, Screamin’ Eagle, Mission Foods, Drag Specialties, Motul, Darkhorse Motor Company, Bell Helmets, Barnett Clutches, Regina Chain, K&N Filter, Suicide Machine Company, NAMZ Custom Cycle Products, and 4SR.
