[@maximillianvermontsuperbik2624]

Gotta love the Aussies, thanks for sharing this. (Canadian Yamaha R1 guy)

[@AudioTones67]

"Nothing a year in the tropics wouldn't fix". Great job Scott, as a fellow Mad Mad nut, you're a gem.

"We'll See you on the road, skag! We'll See you on the road like we saw The Nightrider!" - Goose

[@robbieaussievic]

.... That, That thing in there, .... That's not the Goose.

[@lukeya1983]

Great mad max lines

[@robertchapman6795]

“What’s the problem? Aren’t you hungry?”

[@CEOkiller]

We know who you are, Bronze!

[@evildeadalive]

Normally my favorite sound for a bike is British twins but there is nothing meaner than the growl of the Goose's bike. Probably the best bike sound the world has ever known. What a beautiful tribute you have it must be so fun to ride.

[@No_one1776]

Cool man!😊

[@johncunningham4820]

I agree that the " Goose Bike " is the Coolest Movie Bike E V E R . Best Sound , however , comes from the CB-X engine . Hair-raising .

[@MrKingkat]

100% agree on the mean exhaust note! 😎

[@joestihl2234]

great job,just be sure the rear axle nut hasnt been tampered with!

[@gidnercastano7127]

Ganzo mad max

[@robertbloxham7925]

I always thought they had removed the sump plug but perhaps you're right about the axle nut, does anyone know?

[@jimmymcjimmyvich9052]

Was the dude not messing with the split link?@@robertbloxham7925

[@idiot-983]

I thought it was the Brakes that got tampered with.

[@GenX-65-80]

😂😂 🍻

[@jaydee9761]

Yes, an iconic motor cycle from Australian movie history, but don't forget the Kwaka Z1 from Stone. Good job too Scott, looks great.

[@calicojack928]

My dad was in both of those movie...

[@martinXY]

That and the opening sequence in Stone are brilliant pieces of bike cinematography.

[@matth4638]

You have certainly done it justice, looks fantastic mate.

[@jimmymcjimmyvich9052]

He keeps it in The Hall Of Justice)))

[@ride4adventure]

Excellent feature, thanks for sharing.

[@mulnut]

I absolutely love it. I think that the only other bike as iconic in Australian film history is the Kawasaki Z900's in the movie "Stone"

[@peterhoulis1184]

Not z900 but z1s

[@TwoHemiViewer]

Thanks for sharing , perhaps you could now get a " Stone " Kawasaki . oh and a coffin side car lol.

[@buxvan]

Since watching Mad Max at the pictures in about 1979, I’ve always called Z900/1,000s Mad Max bikes. Love them & the film.

[@CountCraigula]

Best Goose replica I've seen. Yours looks right. Seen many where the fairing is mounted much too high.

[@Voltys_fishing]

Beautiful mate Beautiful 👌👌👌 I started watching Mad Mad 1 when i was 12 Still love it today Watched over 1000 times Know the quotes Word for word Congratulations on your bike The "Goose" would be proud

[@killmozzies]

Thanks for showing this classic.

[@couttsy222]

Ahhhh.... Riding the licorice road. A wonderful tribute bike. The sound of Kawasaki Z900/1000s is the sound of my motorcycling youth. In 1983 I ended up with a Kawasaki 750 fitted with one of the original fairings from the movie. Well done!!

[@mantelmann13]

The best looking bike in history.

[@marcom6947]

Well done on building this iconic bike from my favourite Australian movie. This brought back so many memories. Max and Goose will be proud. Thanks for sharing

[@oggie1967]

Great job fella! Jim Goose would be proud!👍👏👏👏❤

[@lukeya1983]

Full credit to you Building a replica of the mad max z1000 Looks awesome

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

I LOVE THAT BIKE, especially when i saw mad max the first time in 79.

[@PeliHamsteri]

Just Wow, i love that Motorcycle too. I love every single vehicle in Mad Max series, Cars, Motorcycles and others.

[@theskitz75]

Same here my first introduction to motorcycles was mad max and still to this day it was the start of my addiction 👌 absolutely gorgeous bike mate 👍

[@grahameh3168]

I hope Shannons will pay out if you need them, given the lack of mirrors! 😆 Crackin' job!!

[@danfromnewwie]

Awesome work Scott,well done.I quite liked Bubba Zannetti's Kwaka too.

[@CEOkiller]

Must have cut his heart out, eh?

[@RaolDuke76]

​@@CEOkiller "..Not me, not for him,! But it's not for him Bubba, it's for me,!! Thweeewp,..."

‘“It wants you to wring it’s neck” …… classic

[@stevencuenca1980]

The kwakas in stone were also awesome..

[@michaelb.42112]

This is THE coolest motorcycle in history.

[@brucehelppie6119]

I agree.

[@timstorck7453]

Great job Scott, the bike came up great. I hope you don't have any "I dunno man, I just got here myself" moments on it.

[@coldandaloof7166]

BEAUTIFUL BIKE!

[@deanhusband]

Love Trev, if you need a Classic motorcycle mechanic go to Surfside!

[@Romulus_xxii]

Che bellissima moto e che ottimo lavoro hai fatto nel replicarla. Bravissimo! 💯💣👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂

[@johnleyden3675]

Great story, I owned z1000 and rode the old pacific highway in my lunch hour, Hornsdy to Brooklyn turnoff.

[@dazaspc]

Had 3 bikes of that generation a 500, 750 and the 1000. All Great machines, funnily enough all the same year as well. They all had great brakes but all suffered from frame twist under power. The 1000 would be a nice ride with the flat sides. Great replica from a great Aussie movie.

[@AllboroLCD]

Damnit, what a badass bike!!!! Ya do need to go all the way with it and nab yourself the official riding jacket with the shoulder shields. I'd love to daily that thing just to see peoples reactions : ) Well done Well done indeed!

[@travisjohnson8146]

Great video. Thank you! Loved Goose in the movie as a kid. Inspired me to start riding which I still do today at 52!

[@johnmarshall8891]

Even a Z900RS w/ Airtech Streamlining kit fitted as well would work. How did you find a proper windscreen?

[@sillieww]

GOOD JOB, YOU NAILED IT.

[@petesmitt]

Those blue lights will get NSW HWP all excited..

[@mrnobodytheuser2950]

Those Cops will be goo goo ga ga for the Goose Bike, Hes probably above the law on Legendary Bike.

[@thatfelladownunder9396]

Used to scrape the pegs on one of these from Devils elbow to Eagle on the Hill back in the day. Did the whole Goose full faring 4 into 1 16” rear wheel. Great, fun bike.

[@bazzag7614]

I love to see people with a mechanical dream finally bring it to reality. Well done, it looks great, enjoy but, please ride safe!

[@robertsmith9156]

Awesome bike. Gosling 1 would be proud!

[@j.rothchild173]

'' Look at you Max! you couldn't even drive a wheelchaar"!

[@websmash9527]

It's only the best movie made in our beautiful country. And he turned around and made another 3 after that.

[@robbieaussievic]

...... Nothing a year in the tropics wouldn't fix.

[@peterhoulis1184]

I rode a modified 77 z1000a for 20yrs and owned 7 zeds in total and now im building a toecutters black z1000a "see you on the road scragg"

[@salskars6637]

Well done. It's a masterpiece.

[@TheWolfsnack]

[@jimclarke1108]

Great memories, owned a new Z900 next was Z1000✌

[@Richard.]

Nice iron! :)

[@barrycuda3769]

It looks like you've even got the alpinestar boot's as well . I've still got the pair I bought in 1980.

[@freddieallan3583]

Can't beat the sound of those 4 into 2 crossovers

[@deep6483]

An awesome job,even the cheap helmet with the old motorcross face gard,did he have the early Alpine star mx boots or old rossis

[@MFPbadges]

Had Alpinestars

[@Somchai007]

[@almcculloch8906]

Bikes a cracker mate 👍🏻

[@藤田清之]

本物と違うの？何年前の映画でしたかね…マッドマックスはオーストラリアかオストリトアの映画で…この頃でも…このZ1は貴重なバイクで今でも凄いよね…走ってなんて素晴らしい音をカモシテ要るのか最高の瞬間ですね…

[@jeffp5162]

Wow !!

[@maverick1685]

Love to have that bike, what a stellar reproduction. Cheers!

[@foxbat8895]

Superb!

[@snakeplissken571]

The bike is perfect but your boots don't seem tall enough,lol are you happy with its performance? I had a 2010 Z1000 good bike just didn't blow my skirt up.I leaning towards a zx10R next time.See you on the road bronze!

[@davidYTchannel4nonsense]

Bike is awesome! one thing i needed in this video was a burnout!

[@MFPbadges]

They wanted one but as it’s an insurance company not a good look

[@munkeenevahrong239]

I was hoping to hear about the replica helmet.

[@MFPbadges]

Contact Ken at [e-mail] He has the helmets, face guard and shield

[@nicolasrose3064]

I've seen the Movie so many times and although I have always liked Kawasaki's and particularly liked "Goose's" ride, I never really looked at the Bike as anything that stands out, but it actually does.

[@markserpa4511]

Do you believe a 1988 kz1000 police model would be a good candidate for a replica?

[@daodale]

Good one Scott. 👍🏼

Where could i get that t-shirt print for a project i have ...

[@MFPbadges]

I got it from a place in Orange NSW. Doesn’t exist anymore. Happy to send you a pic

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

I worked with a fellow, Rob Orchard, a few years back who both maintained and rode the original bike, when Mad Max was produced. Kawasaki Australia lent the producers a number of bikes, most of which were returned in very poor condition, or not at all. Producer, Byron Kennedy, had no problems letting cast and crew ride the bikes how they wanted, and when they wanted. And by all accounts they did. And they rode them into the ground. Literally. By Rob's account, Kawasaki Australia was not happy at all and were in the process of launching legal action against Kennedy in order to recoup their losses. The legal action came to a sudden halt shortly after the release of the movie. So popularised were the bikes, Kawasaki couldn't keep up with the orders, so much so, that they let Kennedy off the hook for fear of adverse publicity. According to Rob, Goose's bike survived filming, however it was pretty knocked around. It was his understanding that the bike was returned to Kawasaki Australia, but he couldn't be sure. If anyone knows what happened to the bike, I'd be intrigued.

[@MFPbadges]

Steven thatcher at Justjap in Kirrawee ended up buying from Peter Stephen’s in Melbourne shortly after filming. He had it for years until it was written off when a car turned in front of it.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]
