Sure would, Rad. :up:
Here's a few things to recognize about this forum.
(1) People are going to post about almost every issue they have right here, because this is a great place to get help or share a problem. But that doesn't mean that every Big Dog is plagued with problems. Most aren't. So recognize that this site is biased toward problem solving - and that's a good thing. :up:
(2) There were a coupla years where Big Dog went through some serious quality control issues - probably something like 2005 and into 2006. However, they have worked out most of those issues and the newer bikes are much more reliable. Even in those tough years, the problems could be worked out, especially through forums like this.
(3) and, most notably - as a company, Big Dog is almost fanatical about their customer support. They often cover problems even after the bike is beyond its two-year warranty - but don't be too presumptious about that.
All that said, these are high performance machines, and they can tend to have issues - especially if you really ride 'em hard. But if you get a good model and take care of it, there's nothing else like it. Just watch out for all the attention they generate.
