I have seen Birger's bike with the trick paint and custom tank under the seat and the pictures don't do it justice. Its another very cool bike! It will be interesting to see who wins this Hoss race!! WM
I reckon in real life 'Quick Silver' would be hard on the eye and what about Snakey's paint job .

Hey Ms Sonax,
Hmm Ms Sonax, on top of that I think there's a rebels registration party going on up there in Helsinki, we also got 'Fatboy', 'bosshoss', V8Andy, and V8Petra. Haha, i can see a surge of votes in our poll coming on tonight.

Curses Aussie! just when my mods-to-get list shortens, you have to go and raise the profile of an all-but-necessary addition to it!!
Heyyyy.... any way ya gonna be at Paris Landing?
To quote yourself Oldun when we once discussed growth of my own mods-to-get list ..."BWAHAHAHAHA" , luckily for me the caliper is only made for substituting the flimsy brembo. My old wilwoods squeak and squirm and get out of shape but they still stop the bike ok.
So here we had old bikes, new bikes, stockers, and extreme modified all vying for the same trophy. the good news is those guys probably would have still shown their bikes even without the vote and i wouldnt be surprised if one or 2 owners didnt even know it was going on. Great to see so much pride in ownership and hopefully some patrons of the show went away with the V8 bike bug.
Thanks to King Piss & the BHRF for making it happen and of course a big congratulations & thanks to BH cologne and all the entrants!
I have seen the bike last December and thought immediatly "that's the best looking and build Boss Hoss I have ever seen"...so it doesn't surprise me that Andy won the two trophys. That's honestly said, not as a friend of Andy. What Andy and his crew made is simply a work of art and good style, mixed with technical goodys. This bike is sooo nice, wish it were mine...
Mike, I stared for minutes on your cool signature pic, thinking "what a damn good looking guy when he was younger". I saved it on my harddrive and then I had to laugh about the name you gave the pic...hehehe..."Mini-Mike working Boss"....hhehehehe......"Mini-Mike"
That's a real cool pic!!!
