Big Dog k9 motorcycle

Big Dog k9 motorcycle

This is a photo of a 2006 big dog motorcycle K-9 model that I purchased last year in Arizona. Even though this bike was 12 years old, it was basically used as a garage trophy.

It had the electrical EHC upgrade as well as chrome custom wheels and rotors. But, the real outstanding feature of this bike, was that it had under 400 original miles! Now, I know this is hard to believe, but I checked the mileage on service receipts, yes, the owner brought it in annually to have it serviced. Plus, I look first scraping on the frame under the engine. These bikes sit very low to the ground approximately I believe about 4 inches clearance, so the bottom of the frame always gets scraped up going in driveways putting the bike on a trailer etc.

From owning a number of big dogs and also American iron horse Texas chopper’s that also have very little ground clearance, I’ve gotten to know about how much scraping these choppers show with different mileage. Sure this is not an exact science, but just another indicator to use when trying to determine the real mileage. Read more »

Southern California Custom Motorcycle

Southern California Custom Motorcycle

This is an interview with Jim the proud owner of this California custom motorcycle. This video was made at the West Coast Thunder motorcycle ride set up area in Riverside California.

Well, we all know that the most popular motorcycle style is the bagger type motorcycle. Yes, the custom motorcycle fabrication TV shows are just a fond memory now. But, one should keep in mind that a classic style can go out of favor as the chopper has, but, the style itself will never die! Read more »

California Motorcycle Babe – Thunder Mountain motorcycle

California Motorcycle Babe & Thunder Mountain motorcycle

This video was taken at the El Cajon cruise which is a Hot Rod and motorcycle show everyone’s day from about 7:55 PM in the city of El Cajon California. The show runs through the end of October.

It’s my understanding that the Thunder Mountain motorcycles were basically modified Harley-Davidson motorcycles using the same motor and drive train. So, even though the original company is out of business it should be relatively easy to get these bikes service at any a Harley dealership. Read more »
