Big Dog k9 Motorcycle Ride 360 Video

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. Read more »

Motorcycle shock bolt snapping

Motorcycle shock bolt snapping – progressive shocks

Okay, here comes my motorcycle riding story in the category of ‘there I was – thought I was going to die!’. this video is about shearing off the rear bolt that holds one of my two progressive shocks on my American Ironhorse Texas Chopper motorcycle.

I have a lot to say in this video and so it got a little long, now this video should be considered number one of two videos ( working on the second one right now) about this motorcycle riding incident. This first video talks about exactly what happened leading up to and during the bolt that secures my progressive 442 shocks to the frame of my motorcycle snapping off on the freeway.

My two favorite factory built custom choppers, the American Ironhorse and the Big Dog motorcycles both use the  Progressive 422 shocks mounted horizontally under  a number of their softail models. currently I’m riding the Texas Chopper that shown in this video, but, I have owned, and hopefully will only again,  a Big Dog K-9. Both of these great bikesuse the horizontally mounted progressive 422 shocks

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 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!
