Arizona Choppers Wickenberg Ride

Arizona Choppers Wickenberg Ride – Big Dog k9 motorcycles

A 360° video chopper motorcycle ride from Peoria Arizona to Wickenburg Arizona riding through the Sonoran Desert. The K-9 chopper model motorcycle was and still is the flagship motorcycle model for big dog motorcycles out of Wichita Kansas. The K-9 is over 9 feet long and has the classic chopper lines, because the two rear shocks are mounted horizontally under the motorcycle frame. So, it looks like a classic chopper but it sure rides a lot better than a rigid frame. (more…)

I purchased the a 2007 k9 about two years ago. The owner of that bike had changed out the exhaust pipes and these Vance and Hines two into one, were part of the purchase deal. I know these pipes fit other models but you have to do your own homework to see what they will also work on. (more…)

Well, my days of riding in a T-shirt and sneakers are long gone. As an old guy, who’s been riding high-powered choppers for over 50 years, when it comes to riding clothing, I’m looking for good styling combined with comfort and safety. (more…)

80th Anniversary: Daytona Beach Bike Week 2021

The 80th annual Daytona Beach motorcycle rally began in Florida on March 5th, 2021. This is a montage of clips from each day of the rally so far.

Stay tuned for a lot more from Daytona Beach Bike Week 2021. Watch in 4k!

Awesome video wish I was there!

The American Ironhorse Texas Chopper and and the Big Dog K-9 motorcycle are my two favorite factory custom motorcycles. Personally, I don’t think there’s a better factory custom chopper than the Texas Chopper or the Big Dog K-9!

The Texas chopper was the flagship of the American Ironhorse line of custom motorcycles. I’ve owned a number of them, starting with the 2004 and ending with a 2006. As I said before the Texas chopper and the Big Dog K-9 are my favorite motorcycles! Currently I’m riding a 2017 Big Dog K-9 with 117 in.³ S&S engine.

Both the Texas Chopper and the Big Dog K-9 are head turner’s where ever they go. The Texas Chopper came with three engine choices, all S&S engines starting at 111, 117 and the 124 in.³. The Big Dog K-9 came with the S&S 117 inch engine and when they went back into business the K-9 was upgraded to the S&S 124 inch engine.

Both these beautiful choppers are over 9 feet long, and to me, are powerful, sleek, works of rolling art. The truth is, you can go out and buy a new Harley for probably somewhere in the $30,000 too low $40,000 range and it would still not generate the looks of a well-maintained Texas chopper or Big Dog K-9 if they are parked next to your brand-new bike!
