Watching the original Mad Max film on repeat as a young boy left an indelible impression on Scott Horwood. So much so that he endeavoured to track down an original 1978 Kawasaki Z1000 to build a tribute Goose Bike. A number of false starts and a couple of poor purchases from the States led Scott to the example he rebuilt and now enjoys on the open road thanks to the assistance of a bunch of equally passionate Max fans.

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.

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.

@davidbrayshaw3529 9 ай бұрын

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.
