What should piss guys off is...why not just be upfront with your customers? Every Tom, Dick & Harry knows the motorcycle business is shitty. Come out and tell the truth, business is BAD and we just can not afford to keep the factory open at this time. We thank all of our loyal customers, ect."

Instead they deny that this has been in the cards for a year or more, while still selling bikes that won't have a lick of a warranty left!!

Sheldon's a COCKSUCKER.........just like the dipshits that were in control of AIH the first time they went to the grave with peoples money.

I doubt it...unless most bikes they make are under 20k and they produce bikes under 10k...oh Damn! That's why Harley so successful!:2thumbs:
Big Bears Choppers, Saxon, Swift, Arlen Ness, Lorenzo Cycles, Eddie Trotta, Kendall Johnson, OCC, Paul Jr. Designs, etc etc.....how is it they're all still in business and not Big Dog???
I don't get it! :bang::panic2::nonod:

So let's see if I have this... Sheldon engineered and developed new models the past year Just to go out of business and his motive was to screw his customers... Are you kidding me that's the stupidest fucking thing I seen posted yet......wtf
If Big Dog went cheap and built bikes and charged the same as Harley I can bet they would have been gone a long time ago because guys would not have bought them for the same reasons they didn't buy Harleys,

Big Bear is in jeopardy too, but made smart moves at the right time to not flood the market...Paul Jr. Designs isnt selling no bikes, just watch his show, he sells everything from BBQ grills to Dog clothes...:lol:OCC is going under too...already lost the show and workers caught on to their CEOs buying 300k choppers with company money so they can take home when they retire...:rant:As for the others...You pay up front and they will build you a bike for double the amount...They're in business cause there's a "Fool" born every 2 minutes...

You think that's the stupidest fucking you have ever heard? Keep reading Miami's posts, it just goes downhill from here. Worse thing is he seems to believe the fertilizer he is spewing.

Well, I can say that Arlen Ness was not selling any of his production Y2K Choppers (High Liner, LowLiner, etc). Every year I would go out to see my brother during the summer and the same High Liner for two years straight (Beautiful bike). He didn't go under because of the Arlen Ness line of accessories sold in various places. He did have a good start this year and many bikes sold early in the year.

All Big Dog Motorcycles Drivetrain Service Parts Available Directly From Baker at Cyril Huze Blog

Baker and S&S are still up and running at least, and we've got other sources for EHC (Wire Plus), speedo (Dakota Digital), headlights (Headwinds, etc), mirrors (many retailers), seats (many retailers), ETC, ETC... and as long as you've got a good dealer you trust to do major service on your bike, all is well!

As sad as it is that our beloved bike company has gone under.....WE WILL SURVIVE!!! :yesnod: :2thumbs::whoop:

Well why everyones ranting :)
Heres what I think.
Why would anyone buy a Chopper in a box,Off the shelf bike ? ? Pick your frame
tank, fenders,motor ,tranny,rims,paint scheme-the way you want/like/prefer it, Not hey that looks nice-I'll buy it ! Theres a great deal of satisfaction saying- I put this together
Not - hey look what I bought !
As far as warentee goes I think S&S warantees their motors as well as Baker with their trannies.-All this my EHC is broke stuff-Why my bike won't start .If you or someone helps you with the tuff stuff-wireing,clutch set up ,tuneing-you would have no one to blame but yourself-and have the knowledge to fit it.
A custom motorcycle is just that A CUSTOM MOTORCYCLE not a manufactured
assembly line bolt together .
I hope this dosent offend anyone-
