        Isn't this a picture of ol' Marlon in his later years?



        I can see the trailer now.....

        Out of nowhere, a rowdy man comes to town, and empties every restaraunt......

        Then watch in horror as a whole town is eaten alive!!!

            I really like Mad Max but The Road Warrior is one of my all-time favorites. Thunderdome was ok.

              Wouldnt say an inspiration (lots of friends back in the day were nuts about it), but those Z's always make me drool. :P

                While in high school, We had a class project. We had to sit in class and watch the "new" Mad Max movie. After the flick, we had to write a paper on what we though was inspirational about it and what we thought. We didn't have to elaborate more then one paragraph if we didn't want to. If only our schools nowa days would let kids watch flicks like this in class, then take a ten minute smoke break, then write your paper, then smoke again. AAAAHHHH....... How the world would be.
                Mad Max was cool Xsept when they killed his dog. That hurt.

                  The mad max movies didn't have anything to do with why i got into motorcycling but they are good movies. The original mad max is my fav of the lot.

                          VERY inspirational

                          Hi folks

                          Yes I am very inspired by Mad Max 1, or at least the style of the old Z1's

                          That inspired that I'm building an XS11 in the same style as Bubba Zanetti's (silver helmet) and The Toecutter's (black helmet with goggles) bikes

                          BTW did you know there was an XS1100 with sidecar in MadMax2, Wez rides it later in the film.

                              Mad Maxx was the first movie I ever bought on VHS. (That is a video tape to you youngins').
