Default 'Trike?'

I know, this probably belongs in off topic, but come on, how often do you actually visit the off topic section? Just read the specs on this thing. Chevy 350 w/ 320hp and its got a bigger gas tank than my car! They call it a 'trike.'

Your thoughts? stupid? clever?..... I personally think its only good for the engine.

I can't remember where I saw it but I think there is a company actually putting 502 big blocks in a trike. I think it's called the "boss hoss" or something like that. Now that would be :reddevil

Edit: Here it is www.bosshosscycles.com you can get bikes or trikes.

My father just bought an old school trike, has a VW rear eng in it and a dark gold bass boat paint job. He is redoing the whole thing and repainting it, thank god. :)

boss hoss puts 350 in harley cycles, not just trikes. Thats thier main thing. I did see one boss hoss w/ a 502. And one hrley shop i went to recently in key west had one out front, it puts a HEI dist. right between your legs, it sticks up through the body, thats the only part of it that scared me. I asked about it, apparently the owner has 4 or 5 of them and show that one. I also saw a home done comversion that was realnice, i talked oit he guy a while about it.

They show up at Porkeys in StPaul all the time. God awefull pieces of junk if you ask me ( Well Ok they seem to be made well ) Ugly as sin and one even has those rice boy hub caps that spinseperately from the wheel, so even standing still they are spinning :U :U :U

Another person has a supercharged 350 :crazy: It has a flat bottomed rear tire, seriously! You should see it (try) to turn :lol:
