Hog VS Dog (seat of the pants)

[TrickDog]

I am looking forward to riding my Big Dog when I get back home in December. I'm curious about the "feel" of the Dog VS the Hog. I currently have a sporty and a Dyna.

Thanks for your input!

just make sure you hold on tight when you twist the throttle.

Hehehehehe I agree with Woodbutcher!!!!!!!!

For me, it took a little bit of learning how to lean that 300mm into a turn. I came from a Suzuki C109 with a 240mm (which isn't exactly small either) but it handled pretty well for a large bike having 1800cc's and pulled me very well. But my 2007 Pitbull took much more "coaxing" into a corner. However, after a few rides, no problems anymore...and the best part is throttling out of the turn.

Hope the weather cooperates for you come December.

Take the dog to a big open parking lot. Put a little time on it in the lot I bet within a little bit you'll have it.

Yup, it took me a few days to get used to the 300 in my K9... after that all GOOD!!!! :2thumbs: and yessssssssssssss the best part is when I twist the throttle

I went from a Dyna to a Mastiff to a Bulldog Bagger. All I can say is "Sit down, strap in and hold on"

my ridgeback with the 300-rear tire kinda walks out from under -you a little if you accelerate too much on a lean-while making a turn! But once your out of the turn & straighten up kick-it! It's a blast of FUN! I think the Big-Dogs are pretty well balanced for custom bikes!

 

[krkostecki]

Earl, how much you weigh? Can't hit the throttle too hard if you're still in the turn with these engines...or it'll slide on you a bit. I likely don't have as much of an issue as I run 290 lbs. and hold that fatty down but still don't like to accelerate until I'm coming back up out of the turn. Ride safe.

Its a different ride for sure, but one that always leaves ya saying "DAMN, I can't wait to ride again"!!!

 

[Trainguy]

Ya, it's well, like you know............ kinda and them some

 

[jjarkys]

Kick down a gear a twist and it definitely gets your attention!

 

[GDOG_PITBULL]

Wow...do the HD's really suck ass that bad from a performance standpoint? Never rode one....don't care if I ever get to ride one.....

The optimum word used here is " feel ", not ride. When you go from a rice grinder to a Harley, you feel manly; When your on a Dog, you feel like a King. (see short stories pt1) There's not............. never mind, read the story

 

[BBChopper]

As my brotha from anotha motha says "There iz no replacement for displacement!"

 

[Wills67]

First time you twist it hard, be leaning into it and hang on tight...
