Completed the summer job in Illinois last week.  I'm back in Texas for the winter.  Gonna practice that retirement thing for awhile.

Before I headed south, a good friend of mine wanted me to try out a couple of his toys after a round of golf one day.  Although not properly attire, I simply could not refuse.

502 ci V8 with over 500 HP (add another 150 HP if you are brave enough to depress the nitrous button).   

Exhilarating !!

You weren't properly attired to ride when you were invited, good excuse.
I, on the other hand, didn't have the nerve to ride eventhough I was invited. Big difference.
This Hoss has a 350 cubic inch, no nitrous, but still awesome, it tries to twist itself over to
the right when the throttle is blimped. Would love to have one.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

The bike version is close to 1700 pounds.  Surprising well balanced at rest, the torque of the engine causes the bike to fall to the right when you twist your right hand.

There's not much suspension.  These are 30 minute bikes.  But it is one incredible 30 minutes....
