Newbe says "HI"
Newbe from Somerset UK.
Hi all, Just joined the forum. On Sunday im off to buy my first Boss Hoss trike. Im so excited I could poo.
I road one when I went to Daytona bike week in 09 but never thought I could afford one. Anyway to cut a long story short one has turned up for sale about 100 miles away so im having it subject to a viewing. its a 96, 32 coupe. I know all about them not building them then but its as good as I believe with full history and only 17.5 k on the clock. At £21K its expensive for anything 20 years old but they just don't come up for sale that often. Any pointers/ advice will be greatly appreciated. Other than that, watch this space.
Cheers
Paul

Re: Newbe says "HI"
Thanks all for the warm welcome. No longer a potential owner. Ive bought it !! I would have loved to go over to Germany and buy a later one but ill be perfectly frank I cant relay afford this one so to find a bit more would have cancelled next Christmas as well !!
The trike is very clean and tidy on top with a stunning paint job. Picture doesn't show it too well. Under neath is clean with some surface rust to the sump and exhaust. Nothing a wire brush wont sort. All the paperwork from new including all MOTs showing genuine 17500 miles. Its being delivered next weekend so stand by for a load of sill questions !! I have one question all ready regarding tow hitch but ill post in the appropriate section
Thanks again
Paul

Re: Newbe says "HI"
Thanks again to all and to whoever added the video. Im wanting information on how/ where to fit a tow hitch. So far no joy. Has nobody got a tow hitch. Just need to see where its mounted and how its fabricated. Otherwise Ill have to make it up. Also any advice on the max tow weight please
Re: Newbe says "HI"
Glad to see you found this site,Paul. Congrats on the new ride! These folks will take good care of you.
