This may have been posted before but this is the first time I've seen it. it was in an email i received today. is this for real?

What do you do with a spare V10 Dodge Viper engine and too much money?

That's a BOSS HOSS cycle. They are famous for sticking V8 and larger car engines into bike frames. Had one at one of our bike nights at the quaker steak & lube last summer.

They should have found somebody close to 7 feet tall to test ride that bike. The dude on it looks like a 10 year old kid trying to reach the bars on my bike.

Yeah, it IS pretty long, but I have to say I like the design and that Sound is very nice!

there's a viper motor and associated harness and ECU for sale at the salvage yard by me for $13,000. needless to say it's been sitting there for about 6 years.

Yeah, not very inticing with the price that's attached!

13K!!!

Hell you could buy the whole f'ing car for that kind of money... the early year ones I mean.

There was a guy locally selling his for $20. I drove it.... eh. I'd rather have the GTS hard top.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #9 on:** February 19, 2010, 12:31:27 PM »

this salvage yard (LKQ) thinks they have gold. the engine is out of a dodge truck, not that it matters- and I think it's only worth around 5000 tops.
they sell things like tail lights lenses for $75-$100+
if it wasn't for insurance companies (Satan) they would go out of business.

Yes the Millyard is way cooler than the hog thing.

I wonder how that chain holds up?
Anyone know what happened to the original with the 4 wheels?

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #11 on:** February 19, 2010, 01:34:39 PM »

that bike up there is somewhat hideous... too much of a mix of bikes.
that stretched hayabusa tail is killing it for me.

I just watched the video, I think that engine could sound a lot better than it does... $:-\$
me thinks they tried too hard to muffle it.

Man, I wouldn't take a picture of that Viper bike with your camera. Fugly.
Just because something can be done...

Ah, I shouldn't hate on it that much, it is different.

The 4 wheeled bike was called the Tomahawk and it was built by Dodge as a concept to sit along side the Viper at some shows. I saw it once at the Chicago Auto Show. As far as I know it remains in the Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge collection.

IC- LKQ is here in town as well... We are seriously less than what you are experiencing. That's crap. Although ours is a "u-pull" yard. I've been to a couple that aren't.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2010, 10:37:11 AM »

I like the u-pull yards. I used to work at LKQ crystal river. 90% #$%*s there.

Here is a website that says 10 Tomahawks were built and sold, and that there is a Chinese

replica that can be had for $1400.

Yup, I believe that Jay Leno has or had one. Not street legal but supposed to be big on torque.

cb650 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 12, 2010, 05:38:33 AM »

Is there anything Jay Leno dosent have?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Tomahawk

this is the one that dodge built. technically not a motorcycle because it has 4 tires but those tires are on the bike in a dually configuration

Yeah, not really a "Pretty Sight"

they coulda done a big fat tire out back and something different with the bars 'n' gauges.

the front end getup is kinda neat, but the rear end needs some meat out back to gain traction.

You do understand that it was made by a CAR company right?

Sigh.... and here I expected a smart ass response. Now I'ma go cry.
