Lucky wrote about 1 year ago, Modified about 1 year ago We just posted the news that Big Dog Motorcycles is Shutting the Doors... and a real good chance they will not re-open them. I personally have always liked the Big Dog line of motrocycles. They kind of reminded me of a modern day Old School Chopper. And I really like the Big Dog Riders. Thanks to an introduction from our good friend Raywood, we had the pleasure of sharing our camp site in Sturgis with the group from Big Dog Biker Forums. What a great group of guys!!! ______________________

RevBigJohn wrote about 1 year ago This doesn't surprise me, Big Dog bikes are well built, but with the economy of the day, factory built choppers flooding the market, their main target group moving on to other interest, etc., this was bound to happen. The bad thing is this might have a "snowball effect" on suppliers such as S&S, Performance Machine and so on that have "tooled up" to feed the industry. Back in the heyday of choppers the aftermarket went the parts route instead of building production bikes, they diversified with the trends and many of them are still in business. ______________________  "Not the owner of many possessions will you be right to call happy: he more rightly deserves the name of happy who knows how to use the Gods' gifts wisely and to put up with rough poverty, and who fears dishonor more than death." --Roman poet Horace (65-8 BC) |

Chaz wrote about 1 year ago Sad day I liked there bikes and what they had done. If cash was no object there would be on next to the RK. But I guess thats the point to the reason for closing. Cash is not what it was a few years ago. Who knew that 3 years ago was the high point for alot of things. Everythings a cycle and this too shall pass. To better times. ______________________ Chaz

GoFur wrote about 1 year ago I always liked the Big Dog bikes. Clean, not to much flash out of the factory with potential to personalize. Shame to see them go! ______________________ GoFur Don't Matter What You Ride, As Long As You Ride!
