I had my dog pull a d-ring out of the floor bracket in Lake Charles, La. I had 6 ratchet straps holding her in place. My previous flatbed truck driver training kicked in. I caught it before it went down. Always check your load securement every 2 hours when transporting.

This is the most secure method of strapping down my bike that I’ve used. Shannon told me about it and I’m sold on it. Bike didn’t move at all there or back. I think I would have had a heart attack if I had encountered Chubs situation… Glad your BigDog is ok Chubs! :cheers: IMG_7062.jpeg

I think the cooler never made it to the side of the barn. There was only water left in it and the whole bottom was apple pie!!
My dad is pretty excited about it tho. He loves peach cobbler and apple pie!!! Sweet tooth!

Dagone it ! I knew I loaded some apple pie in one of those coolers. You can tell Gary I made it special just for him ! (A little fibbing never hurt anyone) P.S., Tell your dad I said hi, and it was a pleasure meeting him!

It happened somewhere in the last hour from home. I always check every time we stop for fuel or to " water the flowers" or grab something to snack on. Was solid as a rock each time, I think it happened somewhere going through Indianapolis with all the curves and bumps. You know they say " sh-t happens" , that was just some more sh-t !

We arrived home last night about midnight, had to stop off for a nap on the way but no other issues. We want to Thank knott ,steph and Bobby for opening the estate and all the great buildings to us for such a fun and highly memorable time. We stayed around an extra day and didn’t want to leave when we did. Eric and Knott busted it out of the park by installing a motor In just a few hours and had Mastifflessdave up and back to Mastiffdave in no time. I in no way expected that to be done and tried to get them to stop and do it later but I Think Eric had to see new life breathed into a situation that was so personal to him. Thank you is not enough for what you guys did and I’ll be forever indebted To you both.
The new guys that showed up were a joy to be around and hope they come back . Tommy was prob the most helpful individual I’ve met and appreciated his servant attitude to make the weekend better for everyone, Hes welcome at any of the get together as far as I’m concerned and Thank you personally for all the help.

i gotta Thank the three guest of honor for taking the time from the busy schedual they have and coming to Tennessee and joining in on a Big Dog event. Josh , Greg,and Ed from the old Gateway area in St. Louis , was a pleasure and honor to have you guys in attendance and blessing us with your friendship and knowledge of these big dog motorcycles. That speaks volumes for the ethics and professionalism these guys stand for. Also since they see so many of these motors every day and unanimously agreed that the ONLY way this motor went south is some metal went thru it , so am awaiting to see what gave way.

Tennessee is the highlight of our spring being around all of these good people and great friends,
Hope to see every one of you this fall.

Thanks Dave that was really appreciated. I had probably a better time than at any other bike rally I've ever been to( maybe because I don't drink anymore and act like an ass) but I genuinely felt accepted by everyone there(even though I was on a lowly Harley) but I'm about 92.4 percent sure I'm buying a Big Dog Bagger in the next few weeks. I would like to also send a huge thank you to everyone for allowing me to feel so welcome

You are not in debit to me at all and i know Eric feels the same way also. We wanted to do it and was going to do it no matter what you or anyone said lol. We planned this out 2 weeks earlier.

I had already spent alot of time on the ole mastiff fixing alot of things plus a total rewire etc. Eric's motor was the finishing touch to a great story and bringing a peace of history back to life. I gained a peace of this history honestly and i loved the look on Eric's face as soon as it fired up and it fired up just like it had been running a few minutes earlier...i was quite shocked it cranked up on the first hit of the starter with no choke required.

Once again this is why i chose the name Second Chance Customs "Bringing History Back to Life"
