Scott's Goose Kawasaki Z1000 Tribute | DRIVEN | Ep 36
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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.

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 .

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

Since watching Mad Max at the pictures in about 1979, I’ve always called Z900/1,000s Mad Max bikes. Love them & the film.
You have certainly done it justice, looks fantastic mate.

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

Excellent feature, thanks for sharing.
...... Nothing a year in the tropics wouldn't fix.
That and the opening sequence in Stone are brilliant pieces of bike cinematography.
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.
This is THE coolest motorcycle in history.
Great memories, owned a new Z900 next was Z1000✌
Bravo Scott, great job! 👍
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
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"
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.
I LOVE THAT BIKE, especially when i saw mad max the first time in 79.
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
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!
Great story, I owned z1000 and rode the old pacific highway in my lunch hour, Hornsdy to Brooklyn turnoff.
I love to see people with a mechanical dream finally bring it to reality. Well done, it looks great, enjoy but, please ride safe!
Gotta love the Aussies, thanks for sharing this. (Canadian Yamaha R1 guy)
Just Wow, i love that Motorcycle too. I love every single vehicle in Mad Max series, Cars, Motorcycles and others.
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!!
Great video. Thank you! Loved Goose in the movie as a kid. Inspired me to start riding which I still do today at 52!
Well done. It's a masterpiece.
Full credit to you Building a replica of the mad max z1000 Looks awesome
Super cool man.
Thanks for showing this classic.
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.
BEAUTIFUL BIKE!
Best Goose replica I've seen. Yours looks right. Seen many where the fairing is mounted much too high.
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 👍
Awesome work Scott,well done.I quite liked Bubba Zannetti's Kwaka too.

It's only the best movie made in our beautiful country. And he turned around and made another 3 after that.
👍awesome
Nice
Wow !!
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.
The kwakas in stone were also awesome..
It looks like you've even got the alpinestar boot's as well . I've still got the pair I bought in 1980.
Thanks for sharing , perhaps you could now get a " Stone " Kawasaki . oh and a coffin side car lol.

Love Trev, if you need a Classic motorcycle mechanic go to Surfside!
The Aussies seem to have love affair with the big old Kwackas,good scene in the the Man from Hong Kong shot in Aussie with a Z1 and Valiant charger going quick in some part of rural Aussie,then Stone the best ad for the Z1s ever,and then the use of them in Mad Max 1 and bush bash versions in 2.Even saw a guy on the telly not long ago playing a Z1 4 into 1 pipe like a didgeroo in the bush,bloody classic.Cool bike,keep those movie memories alive.
it's the duck's guts!...
Even a Z900RS w/ Airtech Streamlining kit fitted as well would work. How did you find a proper windscreen?
dont know just got here my self
This os a godere Kwaka i think the Goose approve
I heard the 4 into 2 exhaust made it that Gutless, that the Stunty was asked to ride off doing a wheelie, and it didn't have the power to pull the wheel, so they did the fishtail instead.

@@shoominati23 stand corrected . Did not factor in all the extra front end weight this bike was carrying. Did own a z1000 new fitted a 4 into 1 and before it was rejetted it would certainly still lift the front wheel. And I was actually riding it.

I was hoping to hear about the replica helmet.
Man that bike is awesome however for me, the piece de resistance is the helmet! Where did you source it from?
"..ah dunno man, ah just got ere meself,,"
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.
I'm building a toe cutter bike right now I'll soon put up some videos
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…
