Loving My Big Dog Chopper

[wolfen]

Right now I`m loving the Chopper and it`s loving me. I love it when it is running good. It took awhile to get there , but, it there now. I`m going to ride it until it changes and I have to go back to work on it again. If anyone was to ask me if I would buy a big dog again. I would quickly respond , absolutely.

I recently received a Chopper and to be honest it was a way better ride than I expected. My cruiser is a Roadstar 1600 bagger, and the Chopper handles almost as good. Very smooth on the road. Now if I can just finish killing all the gremlins I will be in good shape.

I have a 2005 , I was out again today. It`s running so good it almost scares me. I think something is going to happen. But until than I am really loving this bike. I don`t even want to get on the Harley.

It's a great feeling to ride what you work on, especially when you can work all the quarks out of it...

We all feel that way about the ole' scooters. I know it is hard for the regular motorcycle riders to understand this concept too. It is kinda like would you rather use a push mower to cut your grass or a chopper like this!

So this brings up an interesting question.... (not to hijac your thread but here goes). How many miles do you ride before it's time to get off? My Roadstar I have done an Iron Butt before. Not sure I would do that on the BD.

My honest opinion?.... you will feel her... its your bike.... not pretending to be funny, not rude.. but honestly... its just ike that.. Feel her!!! keep pushing her.. and she will open up more and more.. till both of you will go at WOT!!!!

Most people don't realize the added safety from the big ass rear tire. Most bikes, especially the older HDs, get at least 70% of their stopping power from the front tire. That's why I usually went to dual discs on the front. The larger footprint of my Dog's rear tire gives me a shorter stopping distance, for added safety in a panic situation. My last HD would not stop in a straight line if I used too much rear brake. Tried all sorts of alignment adjustments. Never knew which way it would slide when stopping in a straight line.

Yup!

Well, most of the dogs will need fuel around a hundred miles so that's about a hour and a half.

True that! About 100 miles I need to get off, stretch my ass and pop my back, drink a water & fuel up, then bathroom and I'm off again. I can do this routine for 600-700 miles. Also check your T-bags & your cargo.
