Bill,
There are quite a few NC members on here. Hugh to say the least.

Hugh and I met when I bought a great frame from him. Problem seems to be getting us all in one place at the same time.
You're off to a great start. I've only got 1 running.
He he in the land of the blind the 1 eyed man is king.
Well I sold the one that was running a week ago.
I've had 3 so far, but this one may be a while before it gets built.
I'm likely to finish the gr before I get to this one.
Cool.
Srinath.

I used to work at Big Dog Motorcycles back when things were golden (2001-2005). 18-22 motorcycles a day off the end of the Production Line and through Ride Test / QA / Pre-delivery. After that I went to work at Performance Machine / Roland Sands Design for a couple of years.
It was really a magical time at Big Dog Motorcycles. I am very proud of all the products I was a part of. I also learned I realllly like Bass Boat flake and American Flag paint jobs.
I recently ran into an old vendor and the BDM President (at that time period). We had a little discussion, and came to an agreement that we were lucky to be a part of BDM when things were good. I, personally, am sad that BDM could potentially not exist in the future. I had hoped BDM would continue and there would be some form of Legacy, to always be able to look back on.
I still would have a 250 Tire Pitbull (2001-2004). There was one bike in particular that I really felt a part of, since I did so many different tests and component swap outs on it. It was ugly, missing a dash...but man that rattly (always missing something) motorcycle and I really were a team.
Sad now.
