This happened Sunday afternoon when I met me friend Nicky for a coffee. I showed her the Jim Goose bike pic...
Do you remember the film Mad Max?
Yes, sorta, was a long time ago...
Well this was the bike the cop rode in the film
Oh, right
And one day I want to build one
Build one? Why not just buy one?
They were never sold, you have to buy a bike then all the replica fairings etc to fit it
Sounds expensive
Well, yes. Maybe 10-13 grand
13 GRAND ON A BIKE!!!
Erm, yes. Lots of new bikes are more expensive
Why not finish the bike you have instead of doing another?
I will, and then start on the new project
You can't ride two bikes at once you know
I don't intend to try
Okay but why that bike? Seems such a faff to do. Bet it takes ages as well
That bike is iconic. You'll never see another on the road and I've always wanted one ever since I first saw the film
Ironic? Why did you say that?
ICONIC dear
Oh
(At that point some kid pulls up on some cheap Chinese 125 monstrosity)
That bike looks like the one in the picture...why not buy that?
(I show her the pic again)
Well, it looks the same to me. And it's silver...
Nicky that is a pile of crap and it's a 125cc. This bike is a bloody Kawasaki Z1000 and looks NOTHING like that thing
Does to me
(sigh) Fancy another coffee?
Yes please. Do you like my nails?

Should have told her that her hair and nails just look like every other girls 😆
See if she gets the point
Steve

She sounds like a sensible lass to me....  Could of been a lot worse, she could of been a closet biker and told you the bike was "f'in fuggly....."  |

You're 100% correct Tim. She's singing it wrong and the subtitles are clearly in error. What a fool I am to doubt your Mad Max knowledge Alex |

It’s actually a bone of contention Aussies insist it’s road yanks have taken the word and mis heard it. The explanation is liquorice road refers to the rubber left on a road by hi performance vehicles this makes total sense, on the liquorice ride makes no sense. So we will beg to differ, I’ll go with the plausible Aussie explanation, you go with the yank explanation as they must be right, you know apple pie freedom assault rifles, no healthcare and kids regularly getting shot at school. 👍
I am aware that statement will totally trigger you matey 😁

No no, I'm fine. Next time I watch the Oz version I'll pay more attention. I'd still like to know what the 'mollyf**k' means though. Spoke to another lass I know (who has seen all 4 films and thinks Fury Road is utterly brilliant) and she wants a go on the back of the Goose bike, might be problematic with a single seat...So I now need to find a road made by Bassets.

Double edged sword that In 20 years time when we start popping our clogs there will be £500 lc's for sale as that's what the poor widow was told they were worth 🤣 Steve |
