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.

The Wickenburg area, along with much of the Southwest, became part of the United States by the 1848 treaty that ended the Mexican–American War. The first extensive survey was conducted by Gila Rangers who were pursuing hostile Indians who had raided the Butterfield Overland Mail route and attacked miners at Gila City.
In 1862, a gold strike on the Colorado River near present-day Yuma brought American prospectors, who searched for minerals throughout central Arizona. Many of the geographic landmarks now bear the names of these pioneers, including the Weaver Mountains, named after mountain man Pauline Weaver, and Peeples Valley, named after a settler.
A German named Henry Wickenburg was one of the first prospectors. His efforts were rewarded with the discovery of the Vulture Mine, from which more than $30 million worth of gold has been dug.
Ranchers and farmers soon built homes along the fertile plain of the Hassayampa River. Together with the miners, they founded the town of Wickenburg in 1863.
