Evil Knievel on a Boss Hoss
I think we should bring back the thrill of flying cast iron but this time on a Boss Hoss.
Would a free Boss Hoss for the spectacle plus whatever money raised at the gate plus TV ppv be enough for somebody to take the dare??

Going to need to do a LITTLE suspension work to survive the landing ...

Re: Evil Knievel on a Boss Hoss
Just out of interest, how big a jump are you looking for. The London buses or the Grand Canyon ?

You might be able to get Chevrolet to split the costs. Talk to Robby Knivel, he is still trying to walk in his dads footsteps. I could probably do a jump in a hospital gown over a determined amount of pill bottles in front of a rest home with the other old senior inhabitants cheering in the back round, a banner could read "STAY YOUNG RIDE A BOSS" but most likely not exactly the vision you had in mind.

Google says that the current record is 22 cars, if I read it correctly

It took 95mph to get that lightweight Harley Sportster to go 184 feet. Not sure I would be lucky enough to stick a 150mph landing on a 1250lb Boss ... But I drive like a Girl so .....

Do the jump on a trike with the web belt rebound straps. Should be like an angel landing on a cloudpetitemoose wrote:Going to need to do a LITTLE suspension work to survive the landing ...

Re: Evil Knievel on a Boss Hoss
Wonder if a Trike would be classified as a Motorcycle. Probably not because of that third wheel ...

Re: Evil Knievel on a Boss Hoss
Even an LS3 Bike is 1,000 plus lbs....that will be one hell of a landing even for Robby...
Extended rear shocks..with 2 or 3 inches more travel maybe....special forks with 6 to 7 inches of travel....
AND...A button labelled 'EJECT" when ready to land and you think all hell can and will break loose upon hitting the ground...
A trike is NOT an option even though they ride smoother than a bike..now you are landing 1,450 lbs
AND...why the hell are you dreaming this shit up Ricky?? LOL..the advertising would be really really good...maybe just a different idea with a Boss Hoss...go after some kind of World record for Guinness maybe?? Speed record on a cruiser??? Salt flats??
