These two bikes were on display at a recent local car show. Unfortunately I was unable to locate the owners to find out more about them.

Looks like somebody has done some work to customise this bike but not sure what make / model it is.

I never really liked the looks of the Victory bikes, but that is a beauty. The Boss Hoss bikes are for oil lovers, for sure. Never seen one in the flesh, but I'm sure the bike is as big as the V8 tucked inside.
Nice photos!

I'm guessing the first one is a Victory Vision? The "A" must be some kind of vanity plaque? Nice set!

Thanks for your comments Laramie. I believe you are correct the red bike is a Victory which along with Indian is owned by Polaris Industries.

Thanks for you encouraging comment niteman. I did some research and believe you are correct that the red bike is a Victory. Not many in Australia.

Been around for years. I use to pass one parked in front of a construction site in Jersey City, NJ. Had stop & take a good look. A monster for sure.

The “A” is the logo for Arlen Ness. He is a motorcycle building legend. He did a collaboration with Victory and customized some of their bikes.

Thanks! PS - I went to check him out and found he passed in 2019, but apparently the family still runs the business and is building bikes. I need to read more about them.
