They're a blast in your C5, how about straddling one and trying to hang on?

Totally awesome ride! I was in the 2011 Boss Hoss Catalog riding an LS3 equipped Super Sport. Long story, but I was attending the Bikes Blues and Bar B Que rally in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2010. A buddy of mine knew a guy who knew a guy and we ended up riding the bikes and doing a photo shoot for the 2011 catalog. Here's a couple pictures a friend took of me on the bike in between catalog shots.

I have a Harley and an old Yamaha XS1100. I just never could see putting V8 car engines on a bike. To me it defeats the whole essence of a motorcycle. Nimble handling, exellent power to weight with good fuel economy. Those are things I appreaciate about a motorcycle and are completely defeated with these creations.
But to each their own. Would certainly attract attention.
Local guy stuffed an LS1 in an MGB. I commented that I would rather have the engine in the car it came in.
