OT-Is anyone familiar with either of these companies

[dltang]

Lamonster or Hevnbound, I was thinking one of you two might have heard of one or both of these companies. Griffin Radiators http://www.griffinrad.com/ and/or Sabretooth Motorcycles http://www.sabertoothmotorcycles.com/.

The reason I am asking, one of my very best friends just moved her 22 year old son down to Anderson SC to work at Griffin and get involved with Sabretooth motorcycles. She met the folks there and was very impressed with them. I just thought I would check with others from that area or the custom motorcycle world and see if there are any thoughts or insights. Thanks in advance for any info or comments.

If I am not mistaken, Lamont recently mentioned some interest in the Sabretooth line of motorcycles.

A friend of mine was involed with the startup of Sabretooth Motorcycles. Tom Bleedlove put a lot of work into getting that company going. Not sure of the details of why he left but the money guy (Ben) has offered to give me a bike to ride for a while to see how I like it and to try and break it.:doorag:

Guess you've never had 350hp+ between your legs. Practical? No but till you try it don't knock it. I love all V8 bikes.

Is that a Boss Hoss? I did actually take a FJ1200 nitrous/turbo down a 1/4 mile!

 

[Lamonster]

Yep Had this for 5 years and sold it to make room for the Spyder. I'll be on a V8 bike again, soon I hope. :doorag:

Back when we had a club in El Paso, one of the members had a V-8 trike all painted up and pinstriped...it was called "peaches and cream"

Sorry Deb .... not familiar with either one.

It's not a V8 but it is still as strong as garlic breath ... hope to have one in my stable in a couple of weeks.

Very cool, indeed! I cannot imagine what that must be like to ride; any V8 powered bike! :2thumbs: I saw one Boss Hoss in Hot Springs, AR back a couple of years back. And, the guy that owned it could not have been over 5'5", 150lbs! That thing was HUGE!!!!

I suppose if I were to buy anything other than the Spyder, it might be that Yamaha FJR1300.

Ever see that Dodge Tomahawk...it was a look what we can do thing built in limited numbers...I don't think it was ever deemed street legal.

He bought them new. The hard part was making the tranny work with all the electronics.
