I meet someone who had one, he was impressed with the 'roll on' ::) ;D.

Fuel economy, or lack there of, was something of an issue. When he went cruising with his mate to the next town his wife had to follow in a car carrying extra fuel. Kinda spoiled the effect  :P.

When I was getting my Cheney prepped for CD7 I dropped off some bits at the metal polishers. I parked out front at what I thought was another Harley Cruiser but when I returned was shocked to see not only a V8 engine in the bike but a big block Chevy engine in the damn thing. And people think a Hayabusa is overkill!

Imagine how heavy it would be it would be good in a straight line but any jap street bike is going to go just as hard and get there quicker with the added bonus of being able to turn.

The guy started it up for me when I went there (museum). It is well made and sounds the part. For the man who has two of everything!
