Congratulations Big Dog!

In tough economic times you’re staying ahead of the pack.
The Big Dog K9 was selected as the bike of choice for celebrity photo shoots, lifestyle media coverage and will be rolling down this month to Jay Leno’s Big Dog Garage.
Great people & a class act.

How reliable is the word on the streets?
That would end selling bikes for my store.

Word on the street is GE CDF (commercial distribution finance) is pulling out as well. It is getting scary out there.

I think Big Dog with GE will weather this storm better than most the industry.

Blue Sky Rider –
Textron made a huge mistake buying into AIH over three years ago… I know they regret it now.

As of January 9th Textron Financial Co. will no longer floor Big Dog Motorcycles, Big Bear Choppers, Swift, Saxon, Bourget Bike Works, and a tractor manufacture in Montana (I don’t remember the name). They have contractual agreements with Yamaha and AIH… of course, but they are cutting back on all motorcycle manufactures.

GE Commercial Finance is solid with most of the aforementioned companies (especially Big Dog), so you should contact Michael Echemann at 630-241-9703, and he will help you out.

Big Dog will continue until owner Sheldon Coleman pulls the plug

Textron Financial notified our dealership they will no longer floor motorcycles.
This will hurt our ability to bring the Big Dogs to town! GE Money better stick with it.
I think AIH killed Textron Financial!

It is great to see strength in our American v-twin market – everyone could use positive news these days.

I keep checking their site for the new models. Glad someone else thinks its bad that they can’t keep their site current. Must have laid the web guy off as well.

Wonder if they will get a dealer back in Kansas City?
