A 350 ridden bareback. I recall a nice Tom Wolfe tale spun around the premise.
Have you seen the Honda Valkyrie? It comes close. It's a huuuuge "cruiser" bike built around a hopped-up version of the Gold Wing flat six. I went to my local dealer as soon as they were out. Waht with I'm fascinated by truly big bikes. Y'know what? The beast was Too Big. I got my legs around it, and it felt quite porky. Like it would be a blast on the highway but a real cadmium-plated bitch in tight traffic. If I get spare bikey cash, it's a Hog for me. Mama bear deal - this one is Just Right. Especially with the fairly svelte v-twin motor.

These Chevy cyclosauruses. What does one weigh?! Has your buddy ever had to pick up a capsized unit?
