Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

When I read this I get disgusted. How can a manufacturer
let this happen and then not permanently fix it. DID THEY NOT TEST ANYTHING BEFORE SALES. Third party is the only one that can fix it!!! Why would anyone buy one of these.

It fascinates me that the same part is the Holy Grail to some and the Devil itself to others. Two examples are the
Holley Red and the Quadrajet.

Bryan, I remember reading that some years ago, interesting log. Its good to see you are still here and enjoying your bike. I'm truly amazed at your mileage, most likely the record for any V8 motorcycle.

Conrad..it is a goofy fucking world we live in for sure. Even here at the shop, in person, someone will make an offer on a bike. We then phone the owner and get his Ok..Then the buyer says I will be back by the end of the day with a deposit or Bank Draft in full..hold the bike!!......only to never ...

Bryan, what major things have you replaced? Is yours a SB or BB and is it modified. Dave

To me it seems its just about bragging rights. Not really faster and does not improve handling as its heavier but guys just love 502's. To me the LS is a better choice but it does sound wimpy next to a 502. The LS goes faster, handles better, and is smoother. The 427 in the V8 Choppers is really an ...

You should always use new condoms. I would just as soon use none as to use a used one, especially if you already know its cracked.

It seems to me that you should be able to call the factory and get an answer. Is that asking to much?

UNLESS, something magic happens I will probably never get another V8 bike. I got married on my V8 Chopper and its fast enough for me and always looks bad ass in my eyes. I have all the parts brand new to rebuild the old Nesco if it ever takes a shit for the Boss Hoss. The Boss now shares the long ri...

I AM LUCKY, I'm in a club with about 12 guys and we have a ride at least once a month. The club is in LA ares and I live in Vegas but I pretty much make every ride. I share the BH with other bikes but at least I get to ride it. There are two other guys in the club with Boss Hoss bikes which is amazi...

I notice a lot of guys on here that sell their bike, some even more than one, yet return a year or two later with another. I also notice that some have had the same bike since I first came around about 8 years ago. RANDY, SONY, JACK, LAFONG and some others for instance. Just an observation. Another ...

Mike one of these days I hope you get back to Vegas and we can visit.

Gina and I were both wanting to do this, its always fun and we will do it eventually.

I was to Barry but there will be another time. I plan on being there again. I thought that once I retired I would not be very busy but it hasn't worked out that way.

Thanks Dennis

Something has come up that requires us to miss the Daytona trip. I was really looking forward to the trip and seeing you guys and riding the track. I have been working on building a removable aluminum cover for our open bike trailer and its almost done. I will post pictures of it when its finished. ...

Looks like they copied V8 Chopers handlebars and now use the same Dakota digital gauge V8 Choppers have been using. The bike is looking pretty good.

I have the original 2004 unit, bought it new when they 1st came out and now lives in a VacBag so now it's virtually just a Space Invader, Ha! I can only imagine the BH will spin while the R3 wheelies down the road... http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q600/steverocket3/3690dbfa-b1b8-4960-be99-8955...

Okay Dave, I know what you mean about too many bikes - this is where a hobby becomes a disease :D I'll need to sell my Rocket 3 and maybe the Triumph Trophy SE if I'm going to get my BH into the workshop :roll: EDIT: Or I could move to the States and get a bigger Garage. 8-) STEVE, I have a touring...

Back in the day I flat tracked , TT Scrambled , sportsman hill climbed and rode Enduro's all with BSA's . I started out with a BSA Goldstar 500 cc theN a 1967 BSA 650Hornet Scrambler and enduroed with a 441 BSA Victor . Most of my racing days were early 60,s - early 70's . Triumph were my biggest c...

Are you able to find bike parts in the States? If not, we should be able to help you source bits over here... :thumbup: Thanks for the offer Steve I do appreciate it. We actually have no problem over here with parts, there is a large following of enthusiasts into the classic bike world. I have actu...

Dave, that is really clean and in such good condition !! No wonder you had to get it. I worked at Bucks County Triumph in Bristol Pa. in 1970 for a guy named Smitty. Bill Smith was also into drag racing ,and his top fuel drag bike did a 10.0 140mph on fuel. I think the tire was 4" wide. I work...

Nice looking old Triumph. My O.C.D. is now kicking in. In all due respect: Motorcycles manufactured after January 1, 1973 SHALL have turn signals. Good luck with the 5 speed conversion and engine rebuild project. My memory leave a lot to be desired. I thought the turn signals came out stock on the ...

That is one cool scoot! A lot of people would look at it and think its an old POS. No Cruise, no Fuel Injection, no loud pipes or fairings. Glad you are bringing it back to life with style :thumbsup: :capwin: Question ... How do you measure the torque to attach the jugs to the case? Looks like noth...

John the bike started and ran ok but I'm never satisfied. There was 5 pounds difference in compression between the cylinders. The crank had a little up and down play in it. The cases have never been apart so its a low mileage original motor with a cosmetic restoration. I want it to gleam and to have...
