Motorcycles—Cory Ness
There
is something you might not know about Cory Ness,
he is the chief designer behind all that is Arlen
Ness Enterprises. Yes, Cory is the son of the
most famous motorcycle builder there is, Arlen
Ness, but Cory was building customs his way while
he was still in high school. His designs and
ideas incorporated a lot of what he learned from
his father, but his style is definitely Cory. |

Dog Motorcycles
Back
in 1994, Sheldon Coleman knew what he wanted—a
production motorcycle with power, style and high-quality
components. There were none, so he started Big
Dog Motorcycles. From a very modest start, Big
Dog is now in their 13th year and has produced
over 20,000 motorcycles.
The company is at a point now where all five models produced feature 117 cubic
inch engines, six-speed transmissions, a stretched one-piece gas tank, award-winning
BDM balance Drive, wide rear tire, steel fenders and extensive paint and graphic
options. |

at supplying the industry with wild bikes. |
