Should I get the 06 Ridgeback or a 08 Rocker by HD.

Mastiff
I would not trade my 04 Mastiff even up for a Rocker, the Bigdog looks better, has much better paint (level 5), and a heck of alot faster, and I can ride 2up fairly comfortable. Botttom line is this BDM are highend bikes, I think they are the best built custom bike on the market today. Just take the time compare the workship and material to other bikes out there. Also I have built and rode HD for years.

I paid 24k for my 05 choppa last December at a HD Stealer. It had about 8 months warranty left. I would say 22k is not to bad. You may do better on e-bay but be careful....:2thumbs:
The dark side bit is from my local bike shop (not a dealer) I was in looking at parts after getting da dog and I told my partz dude I traded my Sabre in and he said did you go to the dark side (he ment HD) I told him yea man I got a BDM. He said "oh shit dude you went way past the dark side!!":roll: :roll:

That is very low miles and you know the seller which IMO is worth a lot.
22k is a good price for a 06 I look on ebay a lot and the cycle trader and maybe you will find a better deal but I haven't seen many.
The extended warranty is worth probably $1600, pipes $600
I just bought my k9 4 months ago and was considering the same HD. You will be so glad you bought the Big Dog. After having mine 4 months and then sitting on a harley it doesn't even feel comfortable

I think the best advise is what Dave mentioned right away, ride both and really think about what you want and what you want out of the bike.
I can tell you, if you don't like any of the following then don't buy a Big Dog,
-Strangers constantly asking you about your bike
-People staring and pointing
-Hot chicks asking about your bike and if they can have a ride
-People giving you the thumbs up as you ride by
-Getting all the attention at the gas station while your buddy on the HD gets NONE!!
-Did I mention the thing about the hot chicks?? :up:

all bikes turn the same.....first time I rode my K-9....it took me a little bit to get used to it......being most of my riding has been dirt bikes......but after that....your GTG! these bikes are a little longer than the HD's.....but they feel great.....like your part of the bike...not sitting on top of it:up:
Shit! you get the Dog....the hotties will follow
Take your time Luke, The Dark Side will find you. You have to feel the power and get used to it!!!!:roll: :roll:
Dude take it slow at first, then fuckin nail it!:2thumbs:

not enough time 4 riding
Points to consider:
1) 117 cubic inch engine stock versus 96 cubic inch engine. How much are you willing to spend on upgrades?
2) Stock braided control cables on the Dog. How much will the replacement cables on the Harley cost?
3) The Harley does have fuel injection
4) There should be more after market parts available for the Harley.
5) You will get more atention on the Dog. When the Harley owner with the tempoary tags on his bike that he picked up the day before spends 15 minutes talking to you about your Big Dog and never mentions his brand new Harley, you know you made the right choice.
