Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Thank you Ron!

Post some pictures please - thanks in advance!

Congratulations!!!!

Answering my own question got through to the factory by phone and apparently - 2019 rally will be held in Sevierville, TN on Sep 27 & 28.

Hello all Would anyone know where / when the 2019 Boss Hoss rally will be? I assume in TN, Dyersburg?* I'm trying to juggle commitments and would like to make it this year, with 2 cylinders or 8, whatever works. (* The BH website only has the schedule for 2018, and my email to the BH Factory address...

Had a traecheotomy today..not sure if that is good or bad news. Without knowing the exact reason / so I might be off-target, a tracheostomy IMO can do good things for people who need one - - makes keeping the airway clear easier for the patient, less work in coughing - by allowing suctioning withou...

All the best for his recovery, Barry.

R.I.P.

Thank you also Gila. All info is useful as I make plans...

Yep. Just took a long ride on the BB - always a hekkuva ride. And I always cackle inside my helmet, because!

Good luck with this Paul!

A few years back there was a pioneer owner/rider in South Africa... but have not seen or read about him since. I got skeered enough riding a Vrod when I was assigned there, I gotta say.

Thank you Barry! Both for the measurement, and the trike comment. I may yet look to trade 2 bikes for 1 trike haha.

A very close estimate from what I saw with Kewl Metal installs here is about 6 inches more than a stock 502 bike if that helps so someone with a stock bike could give the stock length. May I ask why you need that measurement?? Thank you, that is helpful. I got a medical issue from a past (non-motor...

Since I'm presently about 7,000 miles away from my bike I can't measure it myself. Would anyone know the distance in inches from the front of the front tire, to the rear axle, on a 502 BB with a Kewlmetal front end? Thanks in advance!

Have been off-line for a long time due to family health and work (I know, excuses...) so it was really great to read a positive review about attendance at this year's rally, which I had to miss. Good inspiration for coming to next year;s, with enough planning time for it all to feasibly happen. Agai...

Hey Rick - yeah I'm a NZer. Spend a lot of time abroad mostly working but also when I can, getting in riding miles and seeing the sights. And so it came to pass that since 2003 I have acquired 2 BHs in the US and 2 in NZ (signs of V8-addiction I know). But, work gets in the way of riding (as, seriou...

Everybody wants a level playing field until their bottom line is affected. I'm just gonna comment on what I know: almost the whole of the non-US world including my own country piggybacks on US-funded and US-led medical drug research for the benefit of their own citizens. And does not pay market pric...

Hi all

Temporarily off the market while the rear brake is upgraded - hopefully to the modern rear brake assembly.

Thanks for your interest!

Price dropped to $9,750...

Have read this thread with interest as (I think) I've had a few issues over the years esp in the desert / Nevada and Arizona; but never in NZ (simply never gets hot enough IMO). I am gonna adopt the octane booster suggestion for sure, because. May I ask a potentially-dumb question - are EFI / fuel i...

Right-On, Brother!

Thanks Bill. Have bought popcorn and settled in for a wait

Looking good there Doc. How come when you click on the photo to make it bigger it come up right side up??? It is a very good honest price for a very well cared for bike. Good luck with your sale. Paul H Thanks Paul. I dunno how the pics do their thing - they look the wrong way on my desktop but the...

V useful info. If we get stuck needing to gas up at a crap gas location in the US... does carrying Stabil or similar product solve the problem? Downunder I always shove some in the 502's tank whenever I can't find BP 98-octane-rated gas and so far... so good.

<<temporarily off the market while the rear brake is upgraded>> ...going Full Metal Trike for the longer rides. Bike is in Phoenix AZ for the next coupla weeks. Recently serviced and water pump, turn signal module and brake pads all replaced. Has the later front forks, triple saddle bags and Tailgu...
