Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Well done Martin, I just wish you could have run the BB to Pullman - excess rules! I did not say It's safe to ride... :oops: I should consider repairing the speedo (allways on top speed) and the indicators (not working at all), change the motor oil and maybe the tranny oil too. And all of that befo...

It runs!

Wow what a sound!
I have to take it out for a spin...

Martin, it is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 I was told that is was 4-3-6-5-7-2-1-8 Is this wrong?? Barry did you check both firing orders? 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2-1-8 aso. It's the same! Thank you anyway! I'll put it back together tomorrow evening. people here don't like testruns with BB with straight open pipes at 9 i...

By taking the heads off, because of steaming exhaust, we discovered that three bolts were not thight at the lower front of the right side. Therefore water nearly managed to clean the first cylinder. Now we wait for the redone heads and the new gasket. In 10 days all is ready to ride again... :thumbup:

My BB was sitting for about 5 month. The last time I rode it, it died on the road and it had to be take back home on a tow truck. I finally changed the ignition module and fired it up after recharging the battery and refilling gas... It did fire up :thumbup: but sounds horrible, as if the firing ord...

That's how nice holidays can end...

Just great to see you'r having fun on the road.
Really nice landscape!

My customer in Mexico that bought the 2008 502 from me is looking to quiet the Beast a bit. I was thinking that the longer exhaust with slip-ons would be a good solution. Any out there for sale?? I rented mine out to a new BB owner in Switzerland. He did not want to buy the 'legal' ones but needet ...

Happy birthday Harold!

Jutta and I wish you a good recovery!
You'll be back on the trike, I know. It does not matter when. It's more important that you'll do it!

Hi Steve,

A BIG Welcome to you!

You found the place where insanity is counted as normal

Do you plan to come to the Boss Hoss Rally in Pullman City Harz in summer?
Anyway, have a good time on your ride!

Dennis, I posted your 'speech' in the German forum with a short translation.

There was one question I don't have an answer:
What's the 'Winter' tranny?
Is the 'Winter' tranny the one from Tom at MBH or is it a third party tranny made to fit the actual one?

Thanks Dennis for this great review!

I'm so happy Rick, his brother and the BH team is looking forward and trying to get new things done!

On the SB I have the choke operating. I also have a Edelbrock 1901. There is one big difference to the 1904. The choke on the 1901 is fully mecanical and the choke on the 1904 is electric. So if your choke is active on the 1901 it's good for cold starts. As soon as the motor is warm it's not needed ...

I will attend the Viking, er I mean the Scandinavian Boss Hoss Rally; looking forward to meeting everyone and visiting Finland, Sweden and Norway. While I've seen most of western Europe, I have never been to Scandinavia...... yet! I'll be air freighting one of my Boss Hoss's across pretty soon to m...

I will be there! Can't wait to meet everyone!! Going to be a HOOT!!! Guess I'll have to fly a BH across and leave it there so can attend Scandinavian Rally in Helsinki plus other events. I am so stoked about Boss Hoss!!! Rick Hi Rick, That's great to hear! :yourock: If you have a ride and are willi...

Hallo Stephan,

schön dass Du den Weg hierher gefunden hast.
Deine Maschine wurde hier auch schon bewundert!

Does that mean you're shipping your SB over to tour Europe?
Any plans yet when you arrive and leave, where you want to go?

Hey Sue and Bill,

are you comming again to have some fun?
Maybe you get a chance to see the dragrace thistime...

Hi BIll,

I'm looking forward to spend time with you on the road!
The room for 2017 is already booked, more or less...

Usually the International Boss Hoss Rally at Pullman City Harz is the LAST weekend in June. It was some Event missmatch or overlapping that made the organizers to shift it one week earlier this year. You can camp in a tent in PC or if you come with a camper just outside of PC there is a field to par...

-- wrong booking -- So I've re-booked and the nearest I could get was in Allrode - a small country apartment complex, very private parking, 11kms away. A bit nearer too! It pays to double-check everything. Yes it's best to check twice... I'm quite sure I'll be there too. To stay with the crowd it's...

As I have no trailer nor a Van or truck to haul the bikes, I might not be a good judge. But here are my thoughts: In Europe you find a lot of vans with a foldable ramp or even with an electric ramp. With a strong motor they go as fast as 150km/h that's about 95miles/h! If you add air suspention you ...

It's so hard to hear about somone beeing taken away. I have not met him in person, but according to his posts and some writings about him I have lost a good friend I would have loved to spend time with... It's already the second BH friend this week we have to accompany on his last road. A German BH ...

Great news Barry!

If you would live nearby I would pick you up and go shopping with you.

Just take it slowly, step by step.
At the end you're up and running again!
