Reminds of following any other cruiser on my Rocket

Boss Hoss?

Basically a V8 shoved into a "motorcycle" frame

You don't have to worry about the plane behind you -- it's the wing wake of the big plane in front that gave me the pucker factor.

Wing wake is one thing...but we were both bearing down on the runway....he was at the outer when I called short final....but the time I was flaring, he was short final....definitely catching up and i know he could not keep the plane in the air at the speed I was landing with. Elkins handed him to LYB tower without assessing what else was nearby. I was by then below radar but I was on a flight plan, and anyway I was in communication with LYB! I could have just done a go round, but we both thought I could make it. I turned hard onto the first exit I could negotiate without tipping over!

nice airmanship.. although the hard turning must have been a tense moment

I was landing a Cessna 150 with a 727 right on my tail....talk about nervous!

or waiting to take the runway with a 737 waiting behind you

Boss Hoss most likely...

Dunno if I'd give it the King of Cruisers title though...King of displacement/power yes, but I dunno about the 'Cruiser' bit. Never ridden one though so it could surprise me.

I've talked to a couple owners. By all accounts, it's not that pleasant to ride, whereas the Rocket is surprisingly civilized, once you get used to it.
