    Gas Guzzler

    Can you say gas guzzler. I have only seen one of these and it is awsome but gas mileage sucks. Litterally.

      If you have 40-50 grand to spend on a bike though.... I guess that doesn't matter??

        Good point

        Good point. I wonder what the gas mileage is on the small block 350.

          Mileage...

          When I had a Chev full sized van it had the GMC 350 and even with lead food Dick behind the wheel it got over 15 MPG and the van was always loaded with about 1000 lbs of tools, parts and supplies.

            Checked out their brochure

            Surprisingly enough the specs say 25 hwy and 20 city for the 350 and 18/13 for the 502. Still that's a lot of money for a bike. Of course if you hit the lottery it might be a nice toy to have around.

                and it goes without saying that you would need nitrous on a V-10

                    More Bosses than XSses

                    Can you believe it? There are more Boss Hoss cycles here in New Orleans than therre are XS1100's. Al Copeland (Founder of Popeye's Fried Chicken) has several of them and I have seen several more on the roads too.

                    Strictly overkill but then, overkill in a vehicle is so much fun, right?

                      I saw a 502 boss with nitrous at the local blessing of the bikes and several of them a couple years ago in Pa.

                        canadian chicks look good in leather.
                        I've been in more than one Hemisphere, and I wrote a book to help you do it too (or just prepare better for that week long road trip). Going Small, not just for the little guys.

                            I have seen some women who should not be waering leather, but I was at the 95th and 100th anniverseries, here in Milwaukee. Not my fault, I was working.

                            And I was just pointing it out. I have see Boss Hosses in person. They were shiny, but I was not really impressed.

                              That's the same 502/502 that's in my Monte Carlo. It will push the 3800lb car to the low 12's in the 1/4.

                              Unfortunately, the Hoss has the same problem as a high powered pickup. It can't put the power to the road at, really, ANY speed.
