Big Dog k9 motorcycle ride

The motorcycle in this video is a Big Dog K9 motorcycle with an S&S 117 in.³ fuel injected V-Twin engine. This video shows part of my ride from Orange County California to San Diego CA. The video was shot with a Samsung Gear 360 camera. Watch the Big Dog k9 motorcycle ride below:

This Samsung camera is a relatively small 360° camera that can be mounted using standard GoPro mounts.  I’m riding the Big Dog with the camera is mounted on the right side of my helmet.

I’m also using Corel Video Studio X10 to edit the footage and convert it from 360° video into standard video. (more…)

It’s my opinion that the big dog K-9 motorcycle and the American iron horse Texas chopper motorcycle are the two best made  factory custom choppers.

Big dog motorcycles went out of business,all I believe in 2011, but, just a couple years ago they came back. Currently, they’re just producing one model motorcycle . . . Yes, it was the most popular bike when they made a number of different models … What I’m talking about is the big dog K-9!

The big dog  K9 motorcycle comes standard  with the one 117 S&S engine and a wide 300mm rear tire. (more…)

Big Dog Motorcycles TV Commercial

Big Dog Motorcycles

This is a vintage big dog motorcycle video that was made prior to their going out of business in 2011.

The video itself reminds me of the famous Apple Computer video which also revolved around the theme of breaking out of the conventional and standing apart from the masses.

Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if the makers of this video were influenced by the Apple Computer video commercial

Like the video says: even sitting still, a Big Dog motorcycle is a public event… they aren’t for the meek.

Big Dog K9 Motorcycle

The Big Dog K9 Custom Soft-tail Chopper Motorcycle offers the outstanding looks of a Hard-Tail Chopper, but rides like a dream with its Soft-Tail Suspension.

This video shows Jon the new owner of the best looking Big Dog K-9 I’ve ever owned, riding it around Orange County California.

The Big Dog K-9 was the flagship of the Big Dog line. This nine-foot-long chopper has a 39 degree rake, 117ci. S&S v-twin engine and the forks are a sick 12 inches over sized. Also, there are two hidden adjustable shocks.

But, the handling and both the original new sales price and the current resale values can be dramatically different. (more…)

Big Dog Motorcycles – Factory Tour

Big Dog Motorcycles

Like American Ironhorse Motorcycles in 2008, Big Dog Motorcycles went out of business in 2011. Since both manufactures used S&S engines, their bikes are still in demand. The top of the line for Big Dog Motorcycles was their K9 chopper model. The K9 Big Dog was very similar to the American Ironhorse top of the line Texas Chopper. Both the K9 & Texas Chopper represent the best factory built soft tail choppers ever!
