If I were in the market for a new BDM, I would be willing to pay no more that 50% of the MSRP. That's just me though.
Wow!You would think an old leatherneck would be smarter than putting that kind of money in a run of the mill shovel.
Having never rode a BDM product for any length of time, you are not even remotely qualified to say what a big dog is and what it is not, you are however highly overqualified at being jealous of all Big Dog Motorcycles, to which that is obvious to all.
A shovel hd, that is the harley that looks like the other 900,000 harleys out there. Lot of ppl have one, in the back corner of the garage under a tarp.
But to each their own and if you are happy with your scoot, so be it.
My Harley gets very little loving since the Big Dog became the pack leader.
.
So let me understand this, you joined the Big Dog forum to let everyone know how cool your shovel head is? That's kinda funny, after you think about that for a moment im sure you could see how someone might reach the conclusion that you might be jelous of the Big Dogs. Im not picking on Harleys think they are great but the truth is nobody notices the Harleys that I ride with so is there a Big Dog in your pack making you feel like the little dog? :roll::roll:Wow!
You have an air of self-importance that is absolutely astounding.:loony:
Jealous of Big Dogs? Not even close. They don't impress me at all.
Leader of the pack?:lol:
I'll just stick with my old POS Shovelhead.
I'll bet that you couldn't keep a Shovel running. Most of the guys that bad-talk them can't.
I joined because I was thinking about getting a Dog and I wanted to know more about them, but the more I learned about them, the more I though about building my own.So let me understand this, you joined the Big Dog forum to let everyone know how cool your shovel head is?

I've ridden a shovel for the last 10 years. I am now saving for a Ridgeback.I joined because I was thinking about getting a Dog and I wanted to know more about them, but the more I learned about them, the more I though about building my own.
It would cost me 1/4 the price, and I would have the satisfaction of doing it myself.
Based on your join date of last month, its easy to see why you don't 'respect your elders' here. But for someone who says they joined to 'learn' more about Big Dogs, you seem to do a lot of talking (typing), instead of listening (reading threads).Wow!

So at one point you where impressed with Big Dogs, and I don't think you could buy a 117 S&S and a baker 6 speed new for 1/4 the price.I joined because I was thinking about getting a Dog and I wanted to know more about them, but the more I learned about them, the more I though about building my own.

Are you looking to buy or whinning again....Once again, a negative thread doesnt always deserve Attention! :up:
This thread started out Bashing the Dealerships, which in my oppinion drove BDM into the ground...Just like the Housing Markets and Banks, just because you can get 40K, doesnt mean you have to set the bar that high...Economists will agree, it's only a matter of time, you "Exhaust" all potential buyers and if something like a Down turn in the Economy will cause a "Crash" in the System....
BIG DOGS ARE BAD ASS BIKES, BUT ARE THEY WORTH TOP DOLLAR AT THIS POINT?:argue:
Moto-Psycho, "Tread Lightly", the A-Holes on this site will get you banned...trust me, I'm on probation....![]()
Please let us know how your $5000 custom turns out.I joined because I was thinking about getting a Dog and I wanted to know more about them, but the more I learned about them, the more I though about building my own.
