Funny you should say that, as I was getting off my bike at work last week, one of the test flight guys walked up to me, and said, "Hey, Mad Max called, he wants his bike back."Originally posted by airborneXS View Post
I told him he was clearly mistaken, Max's bike would never leak and waste this much oil.

I was once asked by an officer "Who dya think you are? MadMax??"
He wasn't pleased when I pointed out that MadMax was actually a police officer who hassled bikers and that it should be me asking him ....
......"Who dya think you are? MadMax??"
My point here is, MadMax never rode a motorcycle

on a side note I've actually thought about finding some raised white lettered tires... If you've ever seen the pictures of "Old Man" you would understand. the white letters would SOOOO match the Gold flake in the Maroon and the Outer space air brushed mural's all over the bike!
