Original Riders is a club that appears in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and specializes in Sport Bikes. This club challenges the player after defeating Vito in his first and only encounter.
Summary[]
The Original Riders is first referenced when Vito begins to look for a challenger following Vanessa's second defeat.
When the player heads to Atlanta, the player can challenge Vito to be able to advance through the career, however he may become optional if the player defeated Dre and Cheng before challenging Vito.
Following Vito's defeat, the Original Riders will finally notice the player, and will invite them to take part in the club races.
However, due to the fact that the player may have not yet unlocked Class B vehicles at the time of Vito's defeat, in which the Ducati Monster S4R is the first purchasable Sport Bike the player unlocks along with the rest of the Class B vehicles, the Hotlanta Tournament is organized by the club, rewarding the winner with a Ducati SS1000 as a starter bike for the club races. This may be the first Class B vehicle the player obtains, and they may use the bike to win the Dodge Charger SRT-8 or Ducati Paul Smart 1000 before Class B vehicles are unlocked.
Upon completing the club races, the player wins the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, or is paid $10,999 if their garage is full at the time of the club victory.
If the player also completes the Chopper of America Bike Club races, the player unlocks the Kawasaki Police 1000 for use outside of Career Mode and Tokyo Challenge.
After defeating Spider, the club sends out Kioshi to challenge the player, who rides an Aprilia RSV Mille 1000R Factory. Following the defeat of every Detroit racer, Kioshi returns in a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R to represent the club in the U.S. Championship Series.
At any point in their Career Mode, once the player wins their 31st City Race in Tokyo, the club organizes a tournament that rewards the winner with the Ducati Paul Smart 1000.
Strategy[]
It is highly recommended to save these club races until after becoming the U.S. Champion in order to make things easier and payouts increase, with them being able to use the Aprilia RSV Mille 1000R Factory or Ducati 999R to blitz through the Original Riders club races, as if the player did any of the Detroit leg of the club races, or later part of the San Diego or Atlanta club races, opponents may ride the Class A Sport Bikes while the player is stuck with either a no-nitro or level 1 Ducati SS1000 or Ducati Monster S4R, as well as earning less cash.
The player may be able to do the club races right after opening Detroit in order to win the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, in order to participate in the Imperial Palace Tournament and win the Pagani Zonda C-12 S early.
