What would you do if you saw this bike behind you?

This bulletproof Boss Hoss (seen on news.motorbiker.org) is the brainchild of stunt man/builder Eddie Paul, and it makes the standard issue, V8-powered Boss Hoss look like a rusty Schwinn. It's got rotating replica Gatling guns, twin five-gallon jerrycans delivering fuel to the thirsty V8, and a Lexan windshield that can stop .44 Magnum bullets. The body panels are designed for maximum artillery deflection, and Paul boasts that "The guns are accurate [looking] enough that I got some questions from the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.)"

Completely inadequate protection...just like an open face helmet.

The stuff in front of you is not much of a threat. It's the totally blind careless and wreckless cagers beside and behind you that are 95% of the hazard.

That's just wrong in so many ways.
Camouflage, what a brilliant plan. Just what every rider wants...to blend in with the background.

If the guy wanted to make the ultimate safe motorcycle, he probably should have made it look more like this...

um, Frank? Buddy? I think you missed the point of this thing! :D
 
That's pretty hilarious, albeit ridiculously impractical. It's like something out of Mad Max only better.

And Frank, you do seem to have completely missed the point.
 
Impractical, as Frank points out. Unfortunately, the driver that cuts off the motorcycle won't notice the gatlings because s/he never looked in the first place.

But fun looking!
 
Well that's just plain goofy! I mean this thing is obviously aimed at the Hardly Drivable crowd. Shouldn't there be tons of chrome and fringes on that thing to make it more appealing :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Besides if you require a Machine gun on your bike get one of these :-)

What could possibly be more cool than an airhead BMW with a machine gun? :thumbsup:

The one that got us was in the 5%, then. Ran a stop sign and got us broadside.

Cool looking bike, however. The folks where I live would positively come unglued. That alone would make it worthwhile. :D

My thought. You're still vulnerable to the T-bone from the bimbo in the Tahoe talking on the cellphone being held to her ear while checking her lipstick in the lighted makeup mirror.

Sigh. It is just supposed to be cool. It's not supposed to be functional.

Jesse, don't try to confuse them with the facts, they won't like it. ;)

Ahh. I'm a bit slow but I do come around eventually..sometimes.
Let me guess again: Soooo..you get to shoot the guy AFTER he runs you down?
Clever.


OTOH the machine gun in a hack...now there's a workable solution.
 
That bike doesn't scare me. All I have to do it leave the pavement, it can't follow.

This bike, however, terrifies me. I won't post a pic of it here, as some of the 'artwork' on it is not quite safe for young eyes.

About the only good thing I can say about that GS is, thank god he didn't do that to an airhead :D

Already got one lined up. I am not one for tongue humor, EYE like ocular humor! ;)

I still think iFly was the best avatar. Too bad there were a few people who were squeamish on here that wanted it taken down. At least I still use it at my banjo newsgroup.

and the comment he makes

As you can see here the blasted bird kept demanding french kisses from my sexy self, further proof that I am so ******** sexy that no creature in the entirety of the animal kingdom can resist me.
