Just gotta scratch that itch

[BigBoyinMS]

I've always said that I wouldn't want a Lambo or Ferrari, etc., but I would sure like to drive one once. Well, I've said the same about the Boss Hoss cycles and I may get the chance this weekend. My BIL and our wives are renting a cabin up near Paris Landing State Park, TN and going to the Boss Hoss national rally. They are having factory demo rides and I'm going to see if I can get a ride. Something to do for the weekend.

 

If I do get a demo my last words may be... "Watch this!"

Don't you act a fool on one of them big ole motorcycles.

I rode through the park, and around the cabins yesterday, but I didn't see any Ventures, or any Mississippi tags.

You'll love it!!

A friend and I rode 2 of them in June, at the bike rally here in Knoxville. I've never felt that kind of power in my life.

Well, we made it up there late Friday and went back for most of the day Saturday. I did see a couple of RSV's and an '07 RSV trike. (Not including the RSV trike at the Hannigan booth.) Never saw the owners though.

I did get a demo ride on one of the small-block bikes. I'm glad it was only a 5 mile ride. It handled like a smaller bike and the power was a rush, but... the heat coming off that radiator could cook dinner for you. Before the ride I thought I might like one... but not after.

But we did have a blast checking out all the rest of the bikes. One fellow had a Boss Hoss trike that he built with TWIN 502 big-blocks putting out about 1100hp. But the wildest that I saw didn't look too out of the ordinary until I found out it was powered by an all aluminum 632 c.i. 1100hp big-block! And the rider was about 5'5".

Yeah I can see you don't ride a 1st Gen!!:rotfl:

Couldn't resist that one. I would like to try one of those Beasts myself. Big V-8 has to be awlsome!

My wife and I rode to the park Sat. afternoon I wish we had taken a camera. I talked to a few after their test ride but did not have a desire to ride. We enjoyed looking at all the bikes, the paint jobs were very nice. Sorry no pictures. JMC

Pictures finally. (Even though the camera sucks.)

This was the "Bad Boy".
