i think they knew before the doors were closed. i contacted them in jan, knew exactly what i wanted and they didn't have a ridgeback on site. (said they could build it in roughly 4 months). ended up finding a new 09 in houston with 4 miles on her and fell in love at 1st sight. lol visited the big dog headquarters in late feb and they were down to 1 wolf, 2 mastiffs, 2 ridgebacks, 1 used pitbull and a used boxer.still very friendly and helpful but didn't have shit for bikes. back when i started dreaming about one... 98 or 99, got to go to the warehouse and see 400 new dogs side by side. eye candy deluxe!
