Hello Ted,

:welcome: to the forum! Very nice V8 Chopper you have. Looking forward to reading more about your bike and riding adventures across the pond. As this is your first V8, what is the story leading up to owning one of these beast's?

Cheers folks, I've been biking all my life and had a selection of machines over the years from Sports bikes to Custom Harley chops etc. These V8 machines Boss Hoss and V8 Choppers are very rare in the UK. I've seen a few for sale over the years but have been priced out due to the rarity and import costs etc etc. Anyway this one came up for sale and I did a deal with a Harley Street glide.
I've had my first ride and surprisingly it's very well planted and easier to ride than some fat wheeled chops I've had...heavy but the power more than compensates. The Chopper in my eyes has great lines for a big V8 bike, they have kept it quite slim....I've lost count of the car alarms I've set off with the Chevy earthquake!! Cheers Ted
