Big Dog Motorcycles

[HOTDAMN0000]

I was one of the early employees of big dog. I can tell you for a fact these bikes are over priced junk...

[mieses2pieces]

@HOTDAMN0000 I agree they are overpriced.

[mieses2pieces]

@mieses2pieces My wife works at a bank in Wichita and told me that the bank now owns them. I drove by the other day and it looks like they are clearing out the show room. I'm not sure they are in business anymore.

[chargertank]

Only in the....... USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VillageIdiot8055]

walkin down the line of bikes makes me think "same bag of shit different color"

[mieses2pieces]

LOL

[VillageIdiot8055]

hey i was there the other day when i was out riding

[mieses2pieces]

Cool! What do you think about the bikes with the hard bags on them? From Douglass they don't look very good to me.

[VillageIdiot8055]

naw i was on my way to bikers edge and just drove by. the prices keep me from letting my eyes wondering to much they start to hurt when i see the overpriced tags hanging on the bikes

[VillageIdiot8055]

plus they get upset when I laugh at them when they tell me they want 35 grand for a bike but then it just makes me want to drive to Eastborough and crap on Sheldon Coleman's ( the big dog owner and grandson of the Coleman outdoors stuff founder) front door step

[mieses2pieces]

LOL!! Sheldon Coleman sure pissed his daddy's company away in one year! I was working at Coleman when that happened. That sure made him look like an idiot in many people's mind. How about him wanting to be a rock star? LOL Dewie and the Big Dogs. I think that's where he came up with the name for the bikes.

[mieses2pieces]

I agree, they are way overpriced.

[japanowner]

I think I'm getting a bad case of the squirts!!!!

Gotta Gooooooooooooooooo

[mieses2pieces]

too much information

[japanowner]

asdfasdf

[mieses2pieces]

In English please.

[adrianrubi]

Ducatis are v-twins too but they don't sound as brutal as these Dawgs.

[mieses2pieces]

Both are cool.

[fehquig]

Great rides! Are they all one-of-a-kind creations?

[mieses2pieces]

Yes they are. I took the tour and they said no two are alike.

[fehquig]

Instant collector's items...

[mieses2pieces]

Rich collectors!!

[NossedEvo]

Great post--it made my espresso this am. I wonder if my wife will fall for; 'this new shifter doesn't fit, I need to buy another bike.'? hmmm...

[mieses2pieces]

Thanks!! Give it a try and let me know if it works!! lol

[torinotom71]

about the same as mine it had a 750 double pumper ,, 4 barrel closed chambered heads ,, and as you said some other things done to it ,, it surprised a few people that tryed to race against it ,, their were faster cars but no one expected that big torino to take off like it did ,,, also had to use a fully manual automatic c4 because i kept blowning transmissions if they were regular automatic ,,

[mieses2pieces]

The Torino weighs less than A corvette. It only weighs 3200 lbs. With that much power it should haul ass.

[torinotom71]

i had the brown version of that green torino but took vynal top off ,, and put gt hood and gt tail lights and had a souped up motor 351 and a maual automatic c4 transmission

[mieses2pieces]

Mine has been punched 30 over with 380 stroker kit and some other things done to it. It's fast!!

[torinotom71]

did someone say 71 torino ??? i miss my 71 torino with 351 cleveland ,, i loved that car

[mieses2pieces]

Yes, I have one!! I've had it for just over 24 years!! No plans on getting rid of it.

[cindyjo57]

Wow now thats a fancy rig and look at all that chrome

[mieses2pieces]

Yes it is. A very good friend's son painted the flame job on it. One of there days he is going to paint a flame job on my 71 Torino.

[cindyjo57]

What color is your Torino?

[mieses2pieces]

It's green. Check out my "Four Ford family part 4: 1971 Torino" video. Enjoy the ride!!!

[cindyjo57]

OH yes your icon

[mieses2pieces]

Yes, that's my car for the past 24 years!! If you want to go for a ride in it check out the video I mentioned above. George

[cindyjo57]

I'll do that

[Regplex]

damn those are nice! i bet they have some hefty price tags!

[mieses2pieces]

I agree!! They start at around $30,000!

[THEREDNECKPEPI64]

i want one!!!

***** & fav

Pepi

[mieses2pieces]

Me too!! Thanks Pepi!!

[Sis363]

If you were able to choose which one you could have, it would drive you insane.

Sis.

[mieses2pieces]

It would, but just think of the fun!!

[NBMonkey]

That was great! I haven't listened to Jethro Tull in years. Great video, I know how much work it is to get one of these edited and uploaded. $33,000. is not bad for a custom chopper when you consider what the Teutuls get for an OCC, but then your paying for their name. Nice bikes George! good Job!

[mieses2pieces]

Thank you peter! You're right about the price compaired to OCC. I think OCC's starting price is around $50,000. Way too much money!! Big Dog cycles are pretty darn cool bikes. They look much better in person than they do on this video. I would love to have one!!

[mbpearce76]

They were more like Art than machines, very nice George.:)

[mieses2pieces]

I agree. They are beautiful!! I could hange one on my wall and just look at it!!

[RandyJMayfield]

Really like the bike at 3:11

What's $33,000 for a ride on the open road.

If I had it, I'd spend it.

Never heard of this motorcycle company. Like the name and the bikes. You must be proud. "Smiles"

[mieses2pieces]

Yes it is a cool bike. I wish the picture quality was better. They look much better than here. I agree with ya, but it's a lot of money. I would love to have one!!

I took a tour through the factory. It was pretty cool to see how they were built. The paint shop was cool too. I got to watch some of the artists paint some of the tanks. Every bike is different. Truely one of a kind bikes.

[Talljim01]

Cool video. Good soundtrack.

[mieses2pieces]

Thanks Jim!!
