I work as a websphere administrator.

And then at night, this whole different person comes out.

You know, he wants to be like a badass.

He wants to ride his scary bike around.

He wants to wear the scary helmet.

That's, maybe, my escape from work.

I think the helmet represents...

the badass

biker in me.

So I guess this whole

thing about bike really started back in Mauritias, when I was about five.

My Dad used to race these little 250's and 49cc's

Dad came home to a bike

that was dismantled. He's asked my Mum

"who the hell did this to my bike?" And my mum pointed at me...

the little kid. And, um, she said "Well it's your fault, you're the one who showed him

how to do all this stuff!

What did you expect?" So I guess

from the age of 5 I kinda had this instinct

to tinker around with bikes.

And my mum still blames my dad for me tinkering around with bikes.

Runs in the blood, I guess.

I think the Mad Max...

I did have an idea of what I wanted to build but it wasn't a very solid idea.

I had my mates going, "hey, build another cafe racer".

And then the other half of people would say "hey, why don't you build something different. Why don't you build a tracker?"

And I thought, you know what? I'm gonna build something that's crazy. Like a "Big Foot" tracker!

And that kind of stayed in my head.

That's what I wanted to get out of the Mad Max - a monster truck bike!

Some of the mods on the Max

was to make it look big and chunky. Starting from the front

the big front forks, twin disc brakes

180 tyres on, five and a half inch headlight with the

custom grille that I made up. Moving towards the back

I got this double exhaust coming into one

shooting up the back into two again. And then you've got an extended

swing-arm on the rear with a huge 200 tyre

and then, obviously, you've got the candy-red paint

A little seat to give it that nimble sort of look

On the rear you've got the rear tyre hugger and combining all that together

you've got the single monoshock

which is off a Hyabusa, with a custom spring

It's really sort of cool and I think the end result is "Monster Truck Bike"!

Sometimes, you know, I don't get time to ride and

after maybe a week or so I go into my garage and I can just see the

rear of the tyre and I'm thinking...

that looks pretty good. And I just go across

to the side and I say to myself

"Did I actually build this thing?!"

And then I just start up the bike...

You just hear that big roar going "blublublub"

You know that type of feeling you get where you're just like "whoa". You just want to ride it

and she just wants to go.

You just feel that sense of freedom, the loudness.

You hear everything.

All you want to do when you get on the Max and you're on the freeway, you just want to scream!

I'm free, I can do whatever I want!

I don't know...

It's just crazy.

I guess that the feeling that I get on the max when riding it.

I think the main reason behind the helmet is

when I take the helmet off all you can see if this boy.

I'm in IT, I'm at a desk and

you know, nobody cares what I do and

when I'm on the Max everybody sees me

and everybody cares what I'm doing

It's just like an attention seeker. It's a crazy bike.

So when I put the helmet on, it's badass.

It looks mean

Being a badass, I don't know if I am a badass...

but yeah, that's what it is...
