Maybe you can talk her into it.

I have a picture of here from last year at Las Vegas Bike Fest when she was sitting on the Boss Hoss that Jim had loaned me for the weekend. It has a LS3 Corvette motor in it making 500hp - ON TWO WHEELS. We took it to the Dyno Drag truck but PJ wouldn't let us run em, said the tires won't hold up but got to weigh it anyway and with both of us it weighed 1380# so thats a pretty good power to weight ratio.

I think I saw you back in late July. I was heading East on 90 in MT before the 212 cut across. I saw the BigDog rig in the rest area. Probably a week before Sturgis. Good gig.

Default Update 10/01/2009

Since I can't get and decent TV stations in english here I guess an update is in order.

Bikes, Blues and BBQ in Fayettetville, AR was great, the crowds were awesome and I got to spend the weekend with a bunch of people from other rallies all together in one place. (Only happens a couple times a year.) Weather was perfect and the turnout was amazing. We made it down to Dickson street a couple of times and it was as packed as Main Street in Sturgis.

Packed up there on Saturday night and finally rolled out about noon on Sunday. Spent Monday at the factory re-loading then headed for hell in the form of US and Canadian Customs. If you ever have to try and take 16 custom show bikes into Montreal make sure you pack a lunch, your going to get to know a lot of Canadian Customs officers really well.

I'm finally at the Hilton Montreal/Laval after a 20 mile ride in from the dealership in a blistering 42 degrees. Supposed to be doing demo rides here on Saturday but from what I can translate from the !@#$%^&* french television stations its supposed to be raining. Great news after spending a few thousand dollars getting this put together!!!

Here's some pictures from Fayetteville (sorry no nudie pictures, it's a "family friendly" event)

Just a couple shots of the crowds at my booth








Here's a picture of Amanda, I work rallies with here a couple time a year. Sorry but I cannot tell you the company she's with, legal BS in her contract! (Shhh, don't read her shirt)


Here's a picture of my favorite 3 girls at the rallies, Whitney and Meghan from Hellanbach and Cindy from Hard Core Watch Comapany


And finally, from left to right, Whitney, Meghan and Serina. Can you say TROUBLE with a capital T in three


After Montreal I will be headed to Strokers Ice House anniversary party in Dallas then on to Costa Mesa, CA for a couple of weeks then back to Little Rock, AR for demo rides on Haloween weekend.

Sometimes, thats one of the BIG downsides to doing entertainment type work, hometime sucks. I was however home for a couple weeks before heading out to Fayetteville, then a day between there and Montreal and I will be home for a day headed to Dallas. But then after that it will be almost 4 weeks.

Yesterday evening, as I was coming into Lubbock, a 4-door Ford pickup passed me. He was pulling a solid white trailer that had the BigDog Motorcycles logo on it. First time I've ever seen one.

Your asking me this question at 5:30am?? I know you live an hour away from the office and that you had to get up and take care of the dogs as well meanwhile I'm sitting at the foot of my bed so you were up before I ever posted that response. :smokin:

Anyway to answer your original question, I'm in Quebec and needed to be at the dealership which is 30 miles from my motel room by 7:00am and when I posted that it was 5:23am here so I had roughly an hour to get ready, eat breakfast and get on the road.

In other words, I spent too many years working for you and have never been able to get my days and nights back in order since. :zzz:

I'm back on another tour like I was on a while ago. I like this one better. Unload, reload in 36 hrs. Stops in Chicago and I have 2 weeks at home
