On this Thanksgiving Eve, let’s give our thanks for privateer race teams. They put their hearts, souls, and resources into our sport with a level of passion and determination that is highly personal.
It’s no secret that the Mission King Of The Baggers Championship is an expensive way to go racing. Along with the Harley-Davidson Factory Racing Team and the full-factory-supported S&S/Indian Motorcycle team, there is a handful of aftermarket-company-sponsored teams and an even smaller handful of teams owned and operated essentially by one person.
One of those persons is Branon White, team owner of Mad Monkey Motorsports, also known as M3. Spend any time with White at all, and you will witness this man’s passion and determination, along with his love for racing and his rider Max Flinders.
We just got word that Mad Monkey Motorsports will be back for the 2025 Mission King Of The Baggers Championship, and Flinders will be aboard an M3 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. In addition, Lyndall Brakes, who has been part of the M3 team, is stepping up even more, Paul Lyndall will have a greater presence on the team and offer even more support in 2025.
The switch from Indian to Harley-Davidson is a big one for White and M3, but he is confident that H-D power and Lyndall Brakes will give Flinders what he needs to reach even more podiums this coming season.
As for the Indian Challenger that Flinders raced last year, well, that bike is for sale. Send an email message to Branon White at “[email protected]” and get yourself on the Mission King Of The Baggers grid for 2025.
Also, if you want to support Branon White, Paul Lyndall, and the Mad Monkey Motorsports race team, they’re always looking for partners. After all, that’s what privateers do.
