it's me again, now signing in as a fully fledged "Owner soon-to-be" sort of bloke
And probably a good time now to let you know what trouble you've let into this Forum of pure Angels and give you a brief of ME....
Qualified as a Precision Engineer in the mid 70's working and playing in Microns, moved into high risk Health & Safety in the mid 80's with Shipbuilding [Babcock] which followed a natural progression in the late 90's into Counter-Terrorism Security with MI5 and Special Branch etc. with the new QE class Aircraft Carriers.
Now semi-retired and fast approaching 60 this year
Been riding since 16 and the hobby soon developed into a terrible blood borne disease - just like the rest of us...
Your new blue & silver Boss Hoss is stunning! I enjoyed taking a look at it and giving you some feedback!
Good Luck!

There's a message on the rear fender saying:
"Wide Open Til You See GOD - Then Brake!"
Sadly it's going to get covered with the new rear light unit within the week.
Out today for 1st ride - MoT done and back home, not really allowed to ride it without a Licence plate on the road - but hell, the rebel in me popped out for 1 hour

Great-looking ride! and I bet you cranked it up... just a little bit... for a short time
My 100-proof woman
A bottle of 95-proof whiskey
A tank of 90-proof gas
And 502ci of V8 bike
And I'm shure you did not think about the license plate while you were on the road
Did you think about visiting some Boss Hoss meetings this year?
There are twoo bigger ones in Europe:
- The International Boss Hoss Meeting at Pullman City Harz in Germany; June 29th to July 2nd
- The 4th Scandinavian Boss Hoss Rally at The Fuglsøcentret near Aarhus in Denmark; August 17th to 20th
Thanks Paul, I'm happy with this one and yes Oldun, I did think about it but town roads not really suitable for testing the unknown with such a heavy & powerful bike! I have to bide my time.
I hope to do a tour with Gordon this summer and one of those meets might be on the agenda Martin and you're right, the licence plate didn't bother me really as the bike is in perfect condition. Police would have admired it just like all the others
