BOSS HOSS'S V-8 - MPLS PRIDE 2018-
When I saw that V-8, I yelled out, "That's a 'Boss Hoss'" which immediately got their attention.
I was first introduced to "the Hoss" years ago on a ride for MS in Austin, Texas. The owner of the company was down there showing off this monster.
They've come a long way since then. They were pretty rough then, sporting a HUGE gas tank that took up a good bit of my 32" inseam, and a single-speed trannie . . . just roll on the throttle and go . . Car tires were standard issue then. They all have reverse, which you just have to have to moved this hummer out of an angular parking place. I have to say they were pretty well balanced then, and I'm sure they've improved.
They were kit bikes at that time, but since then they roll off an assembly line, and have a full line of amenities.
This one was a beaut . . . and so were the owner and her partner. They had been together for only a short time, and this was the new GF's first big outing. Blondie and I talked motorcyles, about the Hoss,and bantered which the passenger found intriguing.
They OK'd me to take pictures and as you can see they were difficult to animate . . .
