That's awesome. I was so taken by the engine, rear tire, paint and tin etc. that I dang near missed the blower setup. Does that have a ceramic tile underbelly ala space shuttle to keep it cool on re-entry?
SORRY, but I think it's ugly too. YES, I said ugly.We are all intitled to our opinions, and this is mine. I'll tell you now, and I would also till it to your face. Again, my opinion.
my wife and I each took one on a demo ride in Sturgis. They are bada$$ Fast, fun head turning. I almost bought one at the demos, luckly my wife hangs on to the check book.
I'm sorry, this thing is funny looking. But, whatever floats your boat.

If you're interested in the Boss Hoss, check out a couple that I built at work. One is a 502 that I painted for Jay Leno. The other is also a 502 but with dual blowers, a 2-stage nitrous injector, 1050 Dominator putting out over 1,000 horsepower. I built a rigid frame and wraparound tank for it then painted it.
I dunno about dumb - maybe. But it sure is hilarious! I love the fact that "they built it because they could". Why the hell else would you do it?? Where would we be if guys didn't do stuff because they might be worried other folks would think it was dumb? I'd scare myself just getting on it, but at least now we know what it looks like to build a bike with a V8!
Maybe this is one we should file under "only in America"?
