No, my wife likes to go riding with me:oldlaugh:
Yea but he said 5k with chrome that makes it 7k or If it's a 124ci and with the transmission, primary and starter you'd be way money ahead if you sold it as a roller. I'd like it long time for 5k.:yesnod:

I saw the 04 K9 chopper and thought why do people do that? But It's common. I didn't know the name Brandon that's why I posted. The 16 had a tag and advertised with one mile. It also has the older coil cover and the teardrop air intake and I wasn't sure if the frame.
How do you road test a new bike with one mile. Most had at least 50 from what I have seen.

I guess what I don't understand is that someone will post a random Big Dog sighting on the street...the bike has a giant 30 inch front wheel and sorry football team paint job and everyone says, 'eh, to each his own' but anything new by Big Dog that isn't a K9 and everyone rips 'em a new one. Seems the 'if you don't have something nice to say...' rule might be fitting. I'd hate to have the giant undertaking of building BDM again and have people's criticism be so cutting...sure would be discouraging.

If I was starting back up in the business I would appreciate any and all responses positive or negative. Most of our members are either chopper or pro street owners. If I were the owners I would take this as a positive and move forward. This isn't a "no child left behind " business. I surely hope that Matt and his crew can make a go of it.

Negative is fine if given in a positive way. I guess I consider 'POS' and 'Fugle' not constuctive criticism. Saying 'not my style' is nicer than 'HATE IT!!!' If I've ever complained to a business, it's to help them grow not make them feel like shit and it's obvious of my intent because it's delivered in a nice way.

To each their own i guess, i think most of us here are really not into the new fads in bikes. Bottom line is that BDM isn't going to flourish catering to a bunch of old farts with 10-20 year old bikes. There ARE only a few on here that can afford or are willing to spend $30K+ on a new bike. When the new fad is to drop $50-100K on a bagger or a sport bike, then they need to find ways to get a piece of that pie.
Ill be the first to say "i really don't like this bike." But ill also be the first to say im an old fart that is kind of stuck in my ways when it comes to style.
