coulda had a V8

so one of my regular customers comes in the shop over the weekend to get some bicycle parts. he is a neighbor of one of my guys, and i knew that he has an "alternative" motorcycle. i didnt see him ride up, and he was not carrying a helmet. he gets ready to leave and says, "so you wanna see my bike?"

we walk outside and there sits a mostly custom built "Boss Hoss"

i think most are built around a 350, but NOOOOO! he's got a damn 454

he is a fabricator of human replacement parts, well skilled in alloys and CF. homemade tank, bars, fenders, wheels and other assorted bits, mostly from his own hands.

i say- "whats that thing weigh?" he says- " i dunnknow, maybe 1400 lbs".

so he pulls on the toy helmet, and cranks the beast. big lumpy monster with basically a straight pipe! good lord it shook everything in a 75 FT radius.

engages reverse, straightens it out, then smokes and burns the 300 rear across the parking lot. :crazy:

i gotta tell you, not my cup of tea, but pretty impressive in a wierd way.

 

The Boss Hoss is a pretty sweet machine. Just wait until you come up on one on the highway and they give it the gas, it will blow you away!

 

I also saw a 454 Boss Hoss at the bike show in Atlanta a few months ago. It was a pretty impressive machine but like you I would never own one. I'm guessing that most people who own bikes like that are trying to compensate for their shortcomings in other areas if you know what I mean LOL !!!

the new ones have an optional 6 liter engine(LS3?) outa the new vettes... its said to be like three or four hundred pounds lighter!

Two years ago the guy in hotel room beside me took his up Mt Washington in NH,he soon found out on the way down they have no engine braking,by the bottom he had 3 blue rotors and next to no brakes

 

I saw a big block bike this weekend. The thing was friggin huge!
