As we all know you either love HOSS or hate him.
It looked like things got pretty rocky in tha chopper thread so I did some research on HOSS and this is what I found out.

BOSS HOSS Motorcycles (http://www.bosshoss.co.nz/)
OVERVIEW
The BOSS HOSS is an American made motorcycle powered by a small block Chevy 350 V8 or 502 Big Block V8 engine. This high performance, well engineered motorcycle has a total weight of 1100 to 1300 lbs. A balanced, low center of gravity design makes the Boss Hoss a dream to ride whether cruising around town or touring the country.
2 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION with reverse
The BOSS HOSS has a specially designed, fully automatic transmission shifted manually from a standard motorcycle style shifter. Just push down on the shifter to engage the transmission from neutral to first, then at the desired rpm and speed push it down again for overdrive. In overdrive the engine will turn a pleasant 2300 rpm at 70 miles per hour which generates 30 miles per gallon and a range of more than 300 miles. Reverse is engaged from neutral position by lifting up on the peddle and simultaneously holding a button in, located on the left handle bar just below the left turn signal switch. Reverse is powered by the engine and is specially designed to engage smoothly and be very controllable for a rider friendly feature.
This smooth stability was achieved from four patented designs:
1. Low Center of Gravity
2. Power & Weight = Traction
3. Specially Designed Frame and Drive System
4. Carefully Completed Weight Distribution
A RIDE LIKE NO OTHER
The BOSS HOSS rides like no other motorcycle in the world. The vibration free acceleration will amaze anyone who rides it. The control compares to bikes half its size. Just imagine the dependability of a small block Chevy engine, the sound of a finely tuned street rod, the acceleration of a pro dragster, and the distinctive beauty of a hand built American machine... AII this in a street-legal, cruise/touring class motorcycle. The BOSS HOSS.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The American made "Boss Hoss" is designed as the ultimate cruiser or for touring the country with the dependability of V8 or V6 Chevy power under your seat.
A 2 gallon fuel reserve under the seat equals approximately 50 miles at highway speeds.
