Red Dog. Lovely dog-interest story, set in a mongrel area just up the road a bit. Ruined by the use of a Honda CB750/4 K7 in a movie thats supposed to be set in 1971.
Everyone knows the K7 didn't come out until 1977! They should have used the K0. Easily discernable by the smooth airbox, vented sidecovers and teardrop tank!

Shocked and stunned. Ruined the movie for me. The fact that the yank was killed after hitting the roo didn't surprise me. The Honda 4 would have flexed so much that an unsurvivable speed wobble cum tank slapper would have ensued.

Anymore appalling motorcycle anachronisms out there in Moviel land? We should identify them to save others the inevitable angst.

Shocking just shocking everyone on earth would have picked that.

Good onya Camel, I am still PMSL, I seen the Premier at Nambucca the other week and said almost the same thing to Jenn. I'm surprised the Yank wasn't on the Automatic version!!!. As for the Flex, they weren't too bad!?! I hit 2 'Roo's during my Round Oz Record on the F2 in '78 and managed to stay on, although I did scratch a couple of pairs of Jocks!!
Cheers,

OMG! Tex and Bundy remember the old automatic version! You've got to hand it to Honda, at least they tried!
I rememember the ol' F2 as well, I know the F1 came out the same time as the K6 (my pick of the CB 750/4 models) and the F2 came out alongside the K7. Strange marketing strategy by Honda, bring out almost identical bikes but with different fuel tanks, side covers and duck tail! Same old SOHC rattler.
I've still got my apprenticeship logbooks, my first year log shows I averaged one CB750/4 engine rebuild a week. I had a cruel master.
Tex, that's a good job hitting a roo and managing to stay upright. They're a bit like Julia, bottom-heavy and hard to knock down. Anyone else hit a roo on a bike? I remember the local bike cop in Mackay (McKenzie) hit one on a XS1100 police special while doing the ton and managed to avoid coming off. Totally smashed the fairing to pieces. Roo was given a post mortem guts effort award.
I've survived hitting dogs, cats, emus and a wedge tailed eagle, but managed to (narrowly) miss roos.
Hey Sutur, Vanilla Ice is a classic aye? That jump was as genuine as his street cred!
