On his arrival at Bedford's train station, Mutt Williams drove on his motorcycle through a cloud of steam generated by the locomotive of a departing train. He then rode on the platform alongside the train to look for Professor Indiana Jones. When he found him, he turned his bike and drove next to Jones's department. Jones left the train, and the pair traveled on the motorcycle to Arnie's Diner where Mutt asked for Jones's help to find Mutt's mother Mary and his "uncle" Harold. After the two were forced by two KGB agents to leave the diner, they succeded in creating a diversion and escaped on Mutt's motorcycle. They were then chased by the KGB agents across the Marshall College campus until they arrived in the library. When Mutt tried to avoid a book-carrying student who stood in the way, the motorcycle fell onto its side and the pair slid under multiple rows of benches before the motorcycle was stopped by a chair of another student.
Thereafter, they drove to Jones's home. When the two flew to Nazca in Peru, Mutt took his motorcycle with him on the airplane. While Jones was talking to some natives, Mutt stayed with his motorcycle and played around with his switchblade. The two then drove to the Chauchilla Cemetery where Mutt hid his motorcycle. However, he was forced to abandon it when they were captured and abducted by Soviet agents. In the jungle camp in Brazil, Mutt expressed his anger that he had to leave back his motorcycle. As Mutt's motorcycle, a 2006 Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic was used. The motorcycle had been modified by bike builder Justin Kell using original Harley accessory parts to make it look fifty years older. Nevertheless, some details such as the twin cam cylinder heads or the the front disc brake made it appearant to Harley-Davidson fans that the motorcycle was a more recent model. Justin Kell also made the motorcycle better suited for the use in stunt sequences by reducing the weight by about 35 kilogramm and increasing the power by about 30 horsepower.
In total, five motorcycles were used for the movie. In April 2009, two of these motorcycles were exhibited at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee. One of them had been used in settings in which it was ridden by Shia LaBeouf and Harrison Ford, the other one had been used for filming stunt sequences. At his first appearance on his motorcycle, Mutt wore a black leather jacket and a motorcyle cap similar to those Marlon Brando had worn when he portrayed the outlaw biker Johnny in the 1953 movie The Wild One. Mutt's arrival at the train station therefore quite resembled Brando's appearance in the movie.Colin Appleyard Motorcycles is one of the UK's premier independent, multi-franchise motorcycle centres offering what we believe are the best deals within 100 miles on new and used motorcycles including Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Mutt Motorcycles, Husqvarna, TRS, Gas Gas, Beta, Scorpa and Oset.

Predictably canine in nomenclature, it's called the Mutt.Having spent a day aboard Big Dog's latest, I'd say it's a Rottweiler-Labrador mix -- fierce and powerful but also friendly and coordinated. With its 682 pounds powered by a throbbing 117-cubic-inch S&S V-twin motor, this manageable ProStreet isn't quite the novice bike it's billed as, though it is the puppy of Big Dog's five-model lineup. With a 37-degree rake to the frame, 6-inch stretch along the backbone and 250 mm rear tire, it has the least threatening geometry. It also has the lowest price tag: $24,900.Big Dog, in business since 1994, is the world's largest custom motorcycle manufacturer. Even so, the Kansas company will be making just 3,500 bikes this year.
That's down from a peak of 4,900 in 2005.Clearly, the number of riders who are willing to tap their declining home equities for a $30,000 toy is experiencing a major downturn, so custom shops have to get smart if they're going to stop hemorrhaging sales back to the manufacturer they initially won them from -- Harley-Davidson. In Big Dog's case, that means two things: upping the reliability of its rides and broadening its customer base.On the reliability front, the company has started tracking warranty claims to pinpoint technological weak spots, which have, in the year they've been watched, mostly involved the electronic harness controller. Later this year, Big Dog will also set up a Technician Education Program to train mechanics in its proprietary systems throughout the year, instead of annually.As for finding new customers, Big Dog is branching out to the more modest end of the market with lower priced and easier-to-ride models like the Mutt, which company reps say is the first of a small handful of entry-level bikes it will roll out over the next two years.
All Big Dog bikes use the same torque-y 1,916 cc, 45-degree V-twin motor, so an entry-level Big Dog is about a reduction in dimensions, not power. In terms of height and length, the Mutt is more like a pug. It's also the narrowest bike in the Big Dog lineup. Not that you'd want to run it on a balance beam. The bike is still 8 1/2 feet long and a little challenging at slow speeds, though the Balance Drive, which moves the final drive to the right side of the bike, distributes its weight more evenly.One of the major developments for 2008 Big Dogs is the electronic fuel injection, which was only available on one model last year -- the Bulldog. This year, it's available on the K-9, Pitbull and Mastiff. The Mutt, meanwhile, has the old-school Super G carb. While the Mutt meets EPA emissions standards and is now available everywhere else in the country, it won't be sold in California until January, when a backing plate is added to the carburetor to meet the state's evaporative emissions requirements.
Another new 2008 development on all Big Dog models, including the Mutt, is the clutch, which was redesigned in conjunction with Baker Drivetrain for easier shifting and a 50% reduction in pull effort. It's still stiff enough that I felt a little like Capt. Hook at the end of my day's ride, but it's more supple than the 2007 Big Dog I rode. It's also easier to find neutral, thanks to a neutral detent system that readily locates that soft spot between first and second as you coast to a stop.Long red lights aren't the best environment for an air-cooled bike like the Mutt, but they're certainly good for the ego. The bike's 80-spoke wheels, chunky chrome controls and, at least on the bike I was riding, tribal tramp-stamp paint job on the stretched and squared tank were flat-out eyeball magnets. --(BEGIN TEXT OF INFOBOX)2008 Big Dog MuttBase price: $24,900Powertrain: Air-cooled, S&S 45-degree V-twin, Super G carburetor, BDM balance drive, Baker six-speed transmission.Displacement: 117 cubic inches, or 1,916 ccBore and stroke: 4 1/8 inches by 4 3/8 inchesRake: 37 degrees frame, 2 degrees treeStretch: 6 inches backboneSeat height: 24.25 inchesDry weight: 682 pounds
