Speaking Of Birthdays...
Big Dog Motorcycle celebrated its 15th b-day, also in November. The production custom manufacturer first hit the scene in 1994. Since then it's grown steadily and for 2009, the company again flexes its engineering muscle and will build on its already impressive resume of award-winning design with the most diverse line in company history. Seven models make up the line, some entirely new, and each instantly stands out in their respective category. "This year we will have seven models: pro-street, chopper-style, or touring, swing arm suspension, rigid frame, or gas shocks, and a wide range of price points," describes Marketing Director Paul Hansen. "Six are introduced now; the all-new Bulldog, our first full bagger model will launched in December. All together, they are a major step forward in strengthening our industry-leading status and the broad appeal of our lineup."
