Tommy has started helping the band [[Love Fist]] organize their concert but their manager [[Kent Paul]] is looking for a security and he suggests Tommy to meet the local Biker gang's leader at The Greasy Chopper, saying that it would also be great publicity. Tommy goes to the bar looking for Mitch Baker and after asking whether he's interested, Tommy is made fun of by Mitch who is playing pool and is questioned whether he can handle a bike before going any further with the alliance he's looking for. Mitch sends three of his bikers, [[Cougar]], [[Zeppelin]] and an unnamed third biker to race Tommy in an [[Angel]] race. Tommy wins the race and thus proves that he can handle a bike pretty well. | Tommy has started helping the band [[Love Fist]] organize their concert but their manager [[Kent Paul]] is looking for a security and he suggests Tommy to meet the local Biker gang's leader at The Greasy Chopper, saying that it would also be great publicity.

*The opponents in this mission have bikes that handle a lot better than normal Angels. If the player wants to give him or her a better chance of winning, stealing one of these is a good idea. However, the race will then start automatically and no three second countdown will occur. | * The opponents in this mission have bikes that handle a lot better than normal Angels.

*The bikers will always crash into the wall of the [[Hyman Condo]] once they reach it. This can be used to the player's advantage if they want to win the race. | * The bikers will always crash into the wall of the [[Hyman Condo]] once they reach it.

*A good strategy to winning the race is to hang a short distance behind the bikers until they reach the Hyman Condo, where they will crash and fall off. Once the bikers ahead of you crash into the wall and fall off, put the pedal to the metal and you should easily win the race. Do not attempt to overtake the bikers until they reach the Hyman Condo, the bikers drive aggressively and they will sometimes drive straight into you to dismount you if you go near them on the sides. | * A good strategy to winning the race is to hang a short distance behind the bikers until they reach the Hyman Condo, where they will crash and fall off.
