I've never seen a Boss Hog bike in person, but I do have trouble imagining a bike that dwarfs my bike.
I think one of the other folks online had a Bos Hog dealer nearby and indicated he saw them all the time. I don't remember what he thought of them.

About 10 years ago, I saw a Boss Hoss downtown. Some fat a$$ed middle aged guy was on it and he looked totally ridiculous. The reality with those bikes and pretty much any of those custom choppers that guys like OCC makes is that nobody actually looks good on it. Most of those guys look totally ridiculous in those custom choppers as none of them can really pull it off without looking like a total dork. It makes me want to laugh out loud when I see some tool on one of those customs trying to look cool.
Same thing with those big Hummers that nobody buys anymore. OK Arnold looked good in it and I'm sure he's one of the few that could've pulled it off on a Boss Hoss when he was in his prime. No way he could pull it off today though.
Arnold was the quintessential bad a$$ dude on the then brand new Fat Boy in Terminator 2!

Nobody buys Hummers anymore because....
Saturn and Hummer are not dearly departed. Well, departed anyway.
And yes, Ahhhrnold was awesome on that bike.
As a middle aged man - I don't think I can look tough on any bike.
Especially with my belly.

Hildebrand & Wolfmuller (Germany 1894-1897) (said to be world's first motorcycle as the 1885 Daimler had outrigger wheels and is therefore considered a four wheeler not a true motorcycle<also not available for purchase>, The 1860's Roper was steam powered and therefore not considered a motorcycle)
The Hildebrand & Wolfmuller was 1488cc developed a whopping 2.5 HP, no flywheel, rods connected to rear wheel- rubber bands to help pistons return- no brakes, had to kill motor to stop- first 2 wheel machine called a Motorrad (German for motorcycle)
Moritz Schulte bought a Hildebrand & Wolfmuller in 1895, in 1903 Schulte became director of the newly formed Triumph motorcycle company.
