The crash helmet tells you all you need to know.

Crash helmet does look wicked, I've have seen a few of them but I wouldn't trust in in a crash.

Looks like he'll need an adult with him to collect sweeties on Halloween.

I found this quote for one...It's a Boss Hoss

"Half a ton of motorcycles powered by a 5.7 Litre V8 with 415 bhp and spread over 2 meter wheelbase. Displacement: 5700cc. Curb weight: 1200-plus lbs. Fuel capacity: 11 gallons. Claimed horsepower: 415 at 5250 rpm. You want torque? A claimed 400 lb.-ft. a quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 140-plus mph. Not bad for over a half-ton of motorcycle that measures 6.5 feet from axle to axle".

There's a few versions and they build them to order too.
I've seen a big block 7.2.

There's a vid online of one racing a ZX12R Kwak, the Kwak didn't have much trouble getting ahead even in a straight line drag.

There is / was an Australia version, they even got it complianced and 100% legal here. Pretty sure it's was called "Barbarian"

I once saw a group of them struggling around the bends in the Harz Mountains, Germany. They didn't look a fun ride.

Not a bad start to the season, making the most of the weather at the moment, mind you once the Sun goes down it does get a bit nippy

Your B&W is a standout 🥇🥇🥇

Thanks Chris, surprised the camera caught it being a B&W  :rofl2:

This meet is every Wednesday now through the season, there are several small ones popping up all with cafes etc, so should be a bit more choice this year...weather permitting...

We get very few meet up venues.
Joes diner Bike Night at Eagle Farm is probably Brisbanes biggest but not often enough.
They have issues with hooning most times so the cops leach around.  :cheers:
