Automatic motorcycle transmission

Double,

There is no point in having a discussion with an "expert" like you since your attitude tells me you are quite the know-it-all. But your answers also tell me that you have very little riding experience on a wide variety of bikes. "I sat on a Harley". Wow! And you can offer up coments on their handling abilities? That proves to me you are a man that is qualified to speak about all things all of the time!!

Before opening your mouth and making a comment (and looking foolish in the process), maybe you should actually go out, gain some experience, and then offer up a comment. Until that time...well...I'll be nice and leave it at that.

Rottie,

A boss is gay? Have you ever ridden one? Of course not as it would take a set of balls, which you obviously don't have, to crack the throttle on one of those beasts. Like I said to Double, go out and gain some actual experience and then offer up a coment.

It feels like Friday might come early this week...

You guys may have missed the really cool link to the side of the Honda article. Forget automatic motorcycle transmissions, gay Boss Hoss, and dogpile Fridays. Check this out M134 BB Gun

It's now on my Christmas list. I'm afraid to ask for an automatic tranny, especially a Honda one!

Whoa!!

What the heck is on fire and what causes it to go?

I kind of expected the CRT to implode like a light bulb, but what's the fire all about?

I think it woulda been better on an HD Plasma.

Depends on how you define "gay".

There's 10 h.p., auto-trans scooter gay, as in

and then there's 385 h.p. Boss Hoss gay, as in

Ford68xl,

I have experience with Indian, Harley Davidson, Custom Choppers, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Cruiser, Sport, Sport Touring, Dirt Bike, Quad, Snowmobile, Fixed and Rotary Wing, 4 cyl, 6 cyl, 8 cyl, 12 cyl (not 10 cyl though), 4 cyl dirt racing, Amateur Drag (8 cyl)......oh.....and I have an hour on a Boss Hoss...it was a 1999 ZZ4 with 350 Small Block....

...and yeah, with all my experience and balls (which seemed too big for that bike seat), I thought it was a piece of ****.

Good for you if you like it. Enjoy. You said I could comment after I gain experience.

I was busy on Friday.

Bye

Rottie,

First, my apologies.

Second, Yes indeed, the 1999 Boss is not a very sophisticated machine. The suspension (if you can call it that) was way overwelmed by the power and weight and the transmission was still a single speed "auto". The new bosses have a different frame geomery, the suspension is vastly improved (to the lofty standards of a Harley) and the trans is a two speed. I think a ride on one of the newer ones may change your impression slightly. You may never like them, but it wouldn't be nearly the piece of **** that the 1999 was. So your opinion of the boss you rode is very valid.

I still stand by the assertion that an auto trans has its place in motorcycling and that just because it doesn't float one's boat doesn't mean it should be ridiculed or made fun of. By doing so we are no better than the "If you don't ride a Harley, you are ****" crowd. The more flavors we bring to our sport, the more riders we have on the road and maybe, jut maybe, we can get the cagers to acknowledge that we actually exist.
