Movie World Like FMXer Robbie Maddison’s stunning bike stunts at the start of the latest Bond movie Skyfall?

You’re not alone. Across the world bike fans like you and I have oohhhed and aahhed as Maddison – the stunt double for actor Daniel Craig – bounced, kicked, bucked and jumped his way across an Istanbul market rooftop aboard a modified Honda CRF250R. I was reminded of the role bikes – and cars I suppose – play in movies and with it our consciousness, as I subbed up a story this month on the number of Triumph models which have appeared in films.

featuring stunt riding by our own Tim Gibbes, for a start. And who, even if you thought at the time that it was crap, can forget Top Gun starring Tom Cruise racing a jet fighter aboard a GPz900 Kawasaki, or – for that matter – Richard Gere going a whole lot slower but making no less of an impression on a Triumph T140 Bonneville in an Officer and a Gentleman.

We have offices & customs teams throughout USA, Australia, Europe and agencies in Canada and UK. Two years ago we had a family tragedy and had to get back to New Zealand immediately. We were in the back blocks of Colorado. One phone call to Mainfreight in LA and they just sorted everything out. They picked our bikes up from Colorado, sorted out all of the details and shipped the bikes home to us... Bridget Jakicevich Another successful trip to the States for my group and a large part played by yourself and Mainfreight. Looking back has been 8 years now, you have been involved...
