Super Single on a "Boss Hoss"

admin

So, I'm visiting the neighbor shop, the temp is about 55F in mid January, and up pulls this Boss...He's had it for a long time and just had a makeover done in Moline, IL, (a housewife thing)??? They cut the super single tire on a re-cap machine to try and get some shape that would work for a bike. Results, not that good he said.Definitely looks different, I'm not sure about the wisdom thing (hate to see what these folks would dream up for a trailer mod)...Phone crashed before I could get a better pic (android...)...Matt Attached Images

Reply:What can you say about something like that, "Outrageous" comes to mine. I can't stop looking at it.
Reply:Although a little too big for my liking, too each there own.Appears the rear tire is so wide it had to have a jack shaft to accommodate the rear sprocket being out past the primary.  I have a 85 Yamaha Big Wheels with a simular setup. The torque prematurely wears sprockets out on both ends of the jack shaft.NickoliIf I can't fix it, Its probably not broke.... Yeah Right!~ Damn I let out the factory installed smoke again ! ~

Reply:I had a customer with a 3 wheeled Boss.  500 HP 350 cheby.   He was on the highway, opened up the throttle.  It lit up BOTH rear tires @ about 75 mph.  He did not crash, and sold it right after that.  I never drove it, but did a little work on it.   Had a 10 gallon gas tank.  He said it was way too small.The one in the pic above is something else!Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.

Reply:I keep looking at the big rear tire and thinking it needs a seat above it for Farmall's and JBM's PFC biker chick anti theft system. .No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Saw one of those displayed at 'Americade', they had a humongus bald dude minding it. He had a helmet with a fake (I hope) screw on the back that made it look like it was screwed to the back of his head.

Reply:So... Is there anything new happening in the bike world?   --------I like the big wheel too though.Thanks Matt_Maguire for catching the picture.Good Luck
Reply:seams like a big aircraft tire might work better.seeing that it has no rear suspension and only has the softness of a heavy truck tire to absorb the bumps, I think I'd pass.
Reply:I know its cool and all, but one has to ask..."Why?"Seriously. A 500 horsepower motorcycle? Thats 2.5 times the power of my Silverado, what the hell does a bike need 500 horsepower for? Ever seen a 500hp tractor? Those things are huge. But a bike? Jeeze...[Account Abandoned 8/8/16 Please Do Not Attempt Contact Or Expect A Reply]. See you on YouTube! -ChuckE2009

Reply:Sometimes it's not "Why????", it's "Can it be done?"... Classic example is Dodge's Viper V-10 powered Tomahawk motorcycle. Calculated top speed of 400mph.

It might be me at the Throttle...I do understand the whole can it? thing. I am guilty of it myself but that tire on that "bike" was ridiculous. But the owner doesn't have to please me or anyone else I suppose.At least he isn't afraid to do something different.Tim Beeker.
