HEARTBURN is caused by GAS

[KnotSo]

Shovel, you may be on a lonely road, yet I will be there with you.

WHO CARES!

Bottom line,

Thank God your able to ride, remember why you ride, not what you ride, help a fellow biker out when in need, stop for a beer from time to time and enjoy life!!!!

There is alot bigger and better shit in this world to nit pick and bitch about!!!!!!!!!

There I'm done.

what a bullshit thread. Shovel - no disrespect to you but you say if someone has a pop at you for this you will walk because you are only voicing an opinion. What do you think Gas was doing? A bit hypocritical don't you think? And if anyone has heartache, or whatever word was used, because Gas will no longer be riding a big dog, needs to grow up a bit. And Lars, your post is a fucking disgrace.

Lee, lighten up,you either did not read my entire post or you do understand what JK means,so if that is the case it means Just Kidding………Later Bottoms upp

I have to agree that most of your complaints are from your own customization. I can see why some of these guys are pissed at you. Blaming it on the product and not the aftermarket parts or installation. You are never going to convice most of these guys that you made a good move regardless of what you say. The sooner you stop trying to justify your decision, the sooner it will all be forgotton. Personally, I don't care if you ride a honda. You have been good to me and countless others on the site. Give him a little slack. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.

Yeah some of the aftermarket stuff like the RMD didn't turn out like I wanted it. So of the other stuff like the electrical connectors... well I tried "somin new" and it didnt work out. The ignition... none of my fault. The tranny nut, well its just too damn common. None of it matters anymore though... I got a nice box of things for the future owner that I'm taking to the HD dealer tomry when I pick up the UC. Onward and upward...

Hopefully see you all on the road...

This forum is GREAT. I read one post agree then scroll down to another and agree and so on and so on. I think all the bellyaching is because all cares about Gas, its easy when someone invites people into his life and shares he's interests about other things than bikes. Hell i am new here if i said my dog is for sale getting another bike. I might get a couple posts at most no one would care.This is hard to write and NOT get anyone mad, that was my intentions anyway... PEACE OUT... Rob...I would ride with any of you, opinions are good and healthy :flag:

The way I look at it- These are performance machines and they're going to have more issues than other bikes. These forums + the fact that BD stands behind there stuff is the reason why I got my BD.

I seriously looked at american ironhorse and BBC before getting my BD. Look at how f'ed up those companies are right now. I'd rather be dealing with a cracked side cover than worrying if the neck on the BBC I'm riding is going to snap in half.


I was born to ride. That's all it boils down to for me folks :up: And I'd ride with any and all of you anytime because you were born to ride too

With that said- the day I don't ride a BD is the day you pry it from my cold dead hands


The advice + wisdom I have been given about bikes on these forums from you guys has been invaluable to me. I know there are a few forum oldies in here that remember the 'old' forum. Lets not let things go there with this one.

Christ you guys all need to get laid.

Less crying, more pussy!

Shovel you gotta be nuts to put a stock electrical system in that K9 you're building. Use your head dude (the big one, on your shoulders!)

Lars - I missed that in your post so my apologies to you.

2 very nice rides Moe!!

 

[Gas Man]

Moe... you are right. Shovel probably has a couple of the most realiable dogs here.

And DAYMN MOE... can't wait to see that hottie on the scoot when its warm enough to have less clothes on!!! HOT HOT HOT

 

[DevilDog]

Gas, congrats on the new bike! I'm just gonna miss your how-to posts.

 

[Gas Man]

Shit... I'll have more if I can think of any more. Still plenty of dogs around that come over for wrench days.

 

[Fibersnake]

You know MoeSpeed that is a very nice looking ride there and the young lady brings out the beauty even more. I sure hope to see you up in Jersey Land on the road sometime in the future, maybe when I run to see Marv, but if you can not make, please send the young lady in your place.

Bullshit thread? I beg to differ. I think this needed to be said. Chris tends to dramatize all his posts and in this case he tried to get attention by keeping his "change-up" post a Drama and a big Secret to reel all you groupies in (and a lot of you took it "hook, line, and sinker)!

Actually many here would call it a "Change-DOWN" and call him something of a traitor for jumping ship to the motor company AND then ragging on BDM as if it is their fault. But Chris wants not just himself, but all of us to agree with him that his GRAND change-up is justified and right and he would like to convince a lot of us to do the same. Well not me!

Now Lee, you said Gas was just voicing an opinion. Yes and I respect his opinion (I have made that clear). But re-read his post and really look at the way he did it. And ask yourself if he gave BDM a fair shake on a public forum (named Big Dog Biker) at an economic time when the company is struggling. Did he give THIS website and the great people who administer it a fair shake? And consider that Gas has built a following and has influence (groupies?) on this site.

And speaking of his influence and following, I thought long and hard before I started this thread because I knew a lot of you worshipped (maybe not the right word) him and hung on every word he said in his posts. And I would be the first to say that many (maybe not all) of his posts rightfully earned him this respect.

SOoo, do I dare post ANYTHING anti Gas Man??? for fear of being "tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail"! I almost didn't. But felt strongly about what I had to say. One member posted "F--k him" which I took as one of my feared "how dare you say ANYTHING against our beloved Gas Man" criticisms. (I now have reason to believe that I may have been mistaken about who exactly that was directed at). There have been several shots at me and now yours Lee (maybe you are one of the groupies too).

NO, I don't think I am being hypocritical. I only meant I would "walk" (leave this site) if Gas Man's following ran me off. I HAVE NOT sensed that that has happened.

Just trying to tell it the way I see it.

I say we give the man a break, I've got 2 hds sittin next to my dog, if he wants an hd well i see no wrong in that, I think thats better than a honda, chris more power to you, hope you will still stay on this site to help all of us with our problems as thay come up, ride safe..

 

[reloaderbmg]

GAS, just want to say thank,s for all your help in the past, & have a good time with your new bike!![see you on the site now & then.]
stay safe!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chopper Dave]

ok Ken.....I get "how you see it" and I understand that you have taken it wrong...but....as for the Gas Man followers or groupies...as you say...you must be reffering to me ...now as you noticed...I have been sitting back reading this thread and Gas's other thread.......and really don't understand why there is a big deal about it anyways so he does not ride a Dog anymore.....who cares....he is still going to do his thing no matter what you or anyone else thinks....I re-read his thread and I didn't think he was bashing BD at all...just saying how he felt...
now...what...your going to say that I am a Gas Man follower? groupie?:roll:
Chris is a good friend of mine.....he was talking about this to me for a while before he posted anything....you are going off of how you have taken it...but you don't even know him.......yes Chris has alot of friends here and as you say followers(I refer to as friends)...but..he has helped me and alot of others out....
I was not going to say anything...but come on now.....lets let this go and move on...I am not one to care about what anyone thinks of me....I like to hang out with good people and have good times.....and I am not going to bash you for speaking how you feel....but remember...alot of us MI guys ride with Chris and he is all about helping people out....you haven't even rode with him...
In my opinion....I agree with Lee....I don't understand why we are still talking about this thread...1 guy has a opinion...just like the next...
ok....that was my :zz2cents: not like it really matters anyways

 

[Mad Dog]

Shit... I'll have more if I can think of any more. Still plenty of dogs around that come over for wrench days.

Did he say Wrench Day? I'll be back with any NY Dogs that want to join me. Oh, and a couple in PA. and a few in Ohio. Hell we might need a whole weekend!:2thumbs:
