While looking for some scooter references, I came across this beast... Even if you ride a step-through 50cc... If THIS bike doesn't light yer' fire, yer' wood's wet... LOL!Huge V8 with monster blower and eight carbs... wide-open header dumps... enough rubber to lay down a smoke screen... This ride is not for the faint-hearted... LOL! When this bad boy fires up, it's gotta be the sweetest sound this side of an artillery barrage! C'mon now, deep down inside our bike-loving minds, we all know there's nothing like a couple thousand horsepower to put lead in yer' pencil and a little extra fun in your ride! 
I do wonder just WHERE the fuel-tank is though? This mill has to go through gas like an eight-year-old goes through Disneyland. That old biker looks as old as I am, and I'm finding my 360-pound scooter is getting heavy? Guess I'd better get to the gym... 
I'll bet this ride turns a few heads and raises some eyebrows...

My wood is definitely wet.
Or I'm too faint-hearted. One or the other.
I suppose with a tire that fat, there's little chance of it falling over....

Nothing sounds better than a supercharged engine. The growl is un-mistakeable.
I could probably keep my speed down on that rig, but my wife would get a speeding ticket before it ever warmed up.

There are quite a few Boss Hoss bikes and trikes around here. I do have "mixed emotions" about them... LOL! They really do make them proportioned and cosmetically about as good as possible considering their MONSTEROUS girth... LOL  They SOUND magnificent (especially with wide-open headers) as most seem to sport around here. Last gun show I attended in Mesquite had a club of Hoss jockeys... One had a 502cid/502hp Chevy with nitrous... Hmmm... Is nitrous REALLY necessary? Lots of old geezers like me were riding Hoss trikes. Seems like a 3-wheeled Corvette to me... I've seen a few of the 502's playing with crotch-rocket boys on the freeway, and the Hoss seems to equate itself REALLY well against the hot 4-bangers, right on up to whatever insane speed the guys dare to go... There is one die-hard lady biker around here who must be at least 50, but still turns heads in Daisy Dukes and bikini top... I've seen her ride her Hoss like she had a death-wish around here. Of course, no helmet or any protective gear... Just the least amount of "apparel" she can legally get away with... Maybe she DOES have a death-wish. She surely has a lot of body-strength! Those behemoths are impressive, but SOOOOO wide, and SOOOOO heavy that they feel like a car on two wheels.
Great for those who love 'em, but TOO much metal for me... Ride safe,Leo |

You SAID it brother!!! The Hoss generates a LOT of heat... and that blown monster with rear slick... I'd hate to be hunched over all that motor... Hope he's got a BIG radiator!These "Frankenstein" creations are definitely NOT practical, but They are fun to look at, and do prove some guys will try ANYTHING "just because they can"... LOL! I'd still like to HEAR it fire up...   |
