I love my bike

[Tdubb]

As I stare out at the gd snow and wait for my second season with my Big Dog I realize I really love this bike. I catch myself walking out the the garage just to look or polish something for awhile.

This is my 8th bike and I've only loved 2 others - my first Harley ('96 Spring new) and my Victory Hammer. I had always wanted a custom pro street and I began my search last winter. I initially thought I wanted an American Ironhorse Slammer or Outlaw. Really liked the '07 Slammer.

After looking at all sorts of different customs I began discussions with a salesman at Jamie's Customs last April. They had just sold the last bike I was interested in. He spent quite some time on the phone with me giving me advice. He recommended I stick with a Big Dog or American Ironhorse. Others he'd said would likely give me too much trouble.

I found my Dog in May and bought it within 5 minutes of seeing it. It hasn't been perfect - 3 problems, but simple repairs. This website solidifies my belief in making the correct decision. Looks like I'll have all the support I need in the future. I even found out that American Ironhorse doesn't even have it's own forum.

I plan on never selling this bike! Which means I'll need to get a second bike - maybe another Road Glide...

Hi T,
Well written!
Many of us feel the same way!

Our SoCal riding group has many cool bikes: Thunder MT. Harley, Iron Horse, Big Bear Chopper, custom Harleys and Special Construction... but overall most like the Big Dog K-9/chopper.

However "OC Mike's Special Construction" is the shit -- when it runs!

Do you sleep next to your bike?

I believe we all feel about the same way as you do or we wouldn't be here...

By the way this is the AIH site. I frequent it at times, they have some interesting stuff there too! http://www.v2-forum.com/modules/Jig/index.php

Oooooh yeah I have been caught by the wife on more than one occasion loitering in the trailer where I park my bike, sitting on the tool chest sharing a bourbon with the company of my bike. Just looking at it can be entertaining. I love my bike.......and it loves me back.

My fiancé smokes in the garage during the winter. I commonly get chastised for not paying attention to her when I go out to keep her company. One night I heard "Hey! There's only 3 more hours to pay attention to ME!"

The beauty of having a scoot as a mistress is that the mistress don't mind you looking at other mistresses…..
