“Anyone who has seen the latest instalment of the Mad Max films is aware of how big a part motorcycles played in the film. To have a selection of the actual bikes used in the movie on display brings a slice of Hollywood to the Sydney Motorcycle Show.

“This is really rare opportunity for Australians to come out see these bikes up close,” Gall said.
“It is fantastic that the producers of the movie Kennedy Miller Mitchell have granted special permisssion for the bikes to be on display at the Sydney Motorcycle Show.
