Hey gang,
I read a lot on here, but don't really post a lot. I currently have one of those foreign bikes and am trying to sell it.

I've really been looking hardcore into some Big Bear's and Big Dog's. I'm really leaning toward the Big Dog b/c there's a really close local dealer (R&B Cycles), plus I know they are factory made which is a relief for me. I like the Big Bear's b/c they are cheaper and look sweet, but it's almost impossible to tell which ones are factory built and home built. I don't want a home built one....at all. Although I've come across some killer deals on home built ones like 06 models for $10k.

I'm really in no hurry, but have been on the look out for a month and a half or so. I liked JT's PitBull but I never could test drive one. I want a soft tail.

My favorite color is black, but I'll entertain other colors as well...like burnt orange, and some blue's.

I like the "feel" of the K-9 sitting on it, and my wife says I look best on it. However, I do like the look of the Mastiff better, and the Mastiff's seem to have a better looking wheel setup on them. I'm not sure why Big Dog wants to put those ugly wheels on a beautiful bike. So at this point whichever I can find at the best deal is what I'll go for.

Low miles is a must. I'm not talking like 1000 miles, but I don't want someone else's high mileage problem.

I know I'll get a hard time about this, but I'm wanting to spend under $15k. This is a recreational vehicle, and it's bad economy right now. The newer the better.

I went through the old for sale items for like 20 pages and saw some decent deals, but figured I'd start my own fresh posts.

Keep in mind, it may be 2-4 weeks before I make my move. Like I said, I'm in no hurry.

Thanks all. Hopefully I'll be part of the BD family soon enough.

I would love to have that red one, and it is a damn good price for being a 09 model. However, if I were to get it, I may as well plan on getting my own apartment to go with it...as I'll be kicked out of my house, lol.

I'm planning on putting 5k down and having a 10k payment. I can swing more than that, but I'd rather double up on payments and have it paid off faster than to have double the payment and something happen and miss one.

Before purchasing my Mastiff I was deciding between a Big Bear Chopper and Big Dog. I road my Harley up to Big Bear and checked out their retail outlet. I also posted on this forum and I went to my local Big Dog Dealership. I ultimately went with the Big Dog because I believe in the company. They back their bikes and take care of their customers. I rode many bikes including a K9, Mastiff, 09 Pitbull, BBC Sled, Saxon Black Crown, American Ironhorse Texas Chopper and a few other bikes. Once I decided to go with a Big Dog I had to choose which bike was best for me. I'm into function over appearance. I did a second test ride on all 3 Big Dogs and decided that the Mastiff works best for my riding style. I was hoping to like the K9 best but it wasn't the right bike for me.

I talk with a lot of people and I'm continually hearing that Big Bear Choppers is in trouble. Furthermore, I'm hearing that even basic parts are difficult to obtain. Not the case with Big Dog in obtaining parts. As for their future, we can only hope they work things out.

Good luck choosing.

I understand on the whole "apartment" thing...:D

I called the seller of this bike and he said it sold to a guy from Michigan. I told him about BDB and he said he had some stories about Carl's Speed Shop to share:down:

WOOHOO!

My Honda VTX is sold. The guy is going to take the bike this coming up Friday. Another cool thing is I've found my Big Dog. It's a 06 K-9 with 1500 miles on it. I'll be driving to go pick it up as soon as I see a break in the weather. I've already made my deposit and have my down payment in hand. I was looking for black, but ended up with the other end of the spectrum...yellow. You can see it in my avatar.

She'll be mine soon....maybe as soon as this coming up weekend if the weather is decent. All I have is an open trailer and I'm not going to haul it in the rain or brined up roads.

Anyone near Nashville wanna meet up and do some riding come spring or summer? :cheers:

I'm good...I got my K9. I don't need a ridgeback to go with it :)
I've sealed the deal. I just gotta go pick her up. Just waiting for a break in weather.

And no, I won't be driving it. Gonna drive my pickup out there with a trailer and bringing either the wife or a friend to help share the drive.
