It's been a couple years since I've wondered into this forum. Bought a new (to me) bike day before yesterday and got me back to looking at bike forums. Sadly though not a Big Dog and in fact since my departure from Big Dog I sold my Road Glide and swore I'd never ride another bike.

Well never was a long time and recently I started riding again only this time it's for pleasure not for work.

Maybe I should reintroduce myself for those that have become part of the Big Dog family since I was last seen here :)

My name is Scott and I'm a truck driver by trade. For many years I was one of the two truck drivers for Big Dog driving the show trucks to all the events and rally's. Of course as Big Dog started to wind down show truck drivers weren't a high priority for the payroll. Rick was there years before me so before someone had to make a hard choice as to who to keep and who to walk I walked. Funny thing is Rick and I are again working for the same company but we play with airplane parts now and not motorcycles. Sadly though Rick is on FMLA at the moment because his lovely wife Kim (who also worked for Sheldon before there was a Big Dog and worked at Big Dog in the IT department for many years) has terminal cancer. Rick is home being with her during this horrible time in their lives. Adding to that they lost their son 3 1/2 years ago to medical complications.

Over the years I had the opportunity to meet many of the members on here and may have even given a few the opportunity to ride new models before they were even seen by the public. @KnotSo @Raywood

I had the greatest job in the world, I was paid to attend bike event's, got to ride whatever brand spanking new Big Dog I chose every day. The work itself was brutal but it was also the best job I ever had. In fact if Matt ever gets the brand back up to a point he needs someone to drive around the country in a pickup with a 2 bike trailer, I'm all in.

Some more pictures of the old crew from BD

This one is Kim (Ricks wife), Matt Moore and former company president Nick Messer
(That's my now Ex Wife sitting in the background behind Nick)


And here's one showing what happens when I quit working for a living talking to Matt Moore and John Nasi (John was another sales guy at BD and also filled in as a driver when Rick or I were off)
