Great stuff Man..!! We have Bike nights once a month here, in my little town.. as do other nearby towns.. the Mother of which is in Indianola Iowa.. or as they call it ITown.. which I'm yet to make it to.. I think you've inspired me to go to the next one though.. I'm sure there's some wild rides there to capture.. Thanks for the links Sir..!!

Now thats one hell of an adrenaline machine.
My V-Max is probably quicker, but that could more then likely take any car from a 40 punch.
As long as the person who put it together did some basic measurements it should be pretty easy to balance at a stop. Having the motor sideways actually makes it safer. A Boss Hoss will yank you to the right, then snap back towards the left if you blip the throttle at a stop. Needless to say, if both feet are not firmly planted you are going over with a 1100 pound bike.

Dude you have a VMax..?? I've always loved those Yamaha's.. I've heard they pack a hell of a punch..!! I could see how a BossHoss would be wanting to twist.. I'd take a VMax any day over a V8 bike..

Yeah, I've got a couple photos up from when I bought it. I'm waiting till after I fix it to take any more photos. It's a 2002, not one of the new ones.
The acceleration is brutal, just when you think you need to shift the v-boost cuts in and stretches your arms out.

If it was completed and didn't look like it belongs in a junk pile somewhere it might be pretty sweet, A little on the over kill side, But pretty sweet. Personally I think it needs more then just a little work, It appears half ass built to me. Nobody took the time to finish it or to do it right so it looks good. On a positive note, Yes it is interesting, and that is not a bad shot of it. I believe you got it from about the best side that thing can offer at this point in time.
