I like the Boss Hoss. If you're gonna have a bike that's not much good at going round corners, you might as well put a huge V8 engine in it!

I do think the fuel tank looks a bit narrow on that one though.

How good did it sound?

Did you mistype 6 litre? Why build a 6L engined bike, surely a tuned Busa engine kicks out enough power and torque, but still gives you a manageable ride?

Sorry, I think I am missing the point.

I think the Harley is ugly too, it looks like a cheap project built in the garden, but it probably cost more than all three of our bikes would have cost together when new!

Now if it had been a silver Pointy, I would have been impressed, it is common knowledge that Silver Pointies are the greatest bikes ever built!

Well these pair were on a massive trip, so far in three weeks covered 8000 miles. And one 24 hour period rode 1200 miles. Done all of Europe and more. Thats just bonkers in my eyes, but RESPECT to em eh.

8000 miles, they don't look like they've been out of the garage in ages.....not enough muck

And where the hell is their luggage?
I do hope you checked the size of their beards, they'd need a big one travelling around in the weather we've been having lately!

that tank on the Boss Hoss he told me held 8 gallons, prob US gallons so slightly less than ours. Still huge. And yes the owner said 6L engine!

I know its not all our favoured style etc. But you gotta hand it to them thats some mean ass kit and trip to go with it eh.

Seen by Speedy Claire and me on our trip to Europe in 2008, somewhere in Germany. I believe this one has a small block Buick engine, similar to the one the Rover V8 is based on.

yes boss hoss v8's can go to 6.0L it should be a diesel though. and yes a busa has too much power and those arent design for fast or corners just for posing and making lots of noise.
