The World's Fastest Indian

[The Jeffster]

Just watching it now on the tube, awesome movie - love that it's based on a true story.

Here is a link to the real story, the bloke really stuck to his vision:

AMA Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame | Burt Munro

Its mint. My dad was a backyard mechanic from the same era, much of what is in the movie reminds me of him.

Certainly one of the top five bike movies, but one which still appeals to the average punter. I've watched it more than twice, and visited the beach the early race scene was shot on. He is a legend in unzud...

Yep, good movie all right.

Aye it's a cracker. I saw some footage somewhere of the real Burt Munro. Hopkins did an uncanny job acting as him.

Get the dvd, stupid cunts at one cut off quite a bit of stuff to accommodate ads, including his little speech to the army dude when he gets to the lake, about the past racers at bonneville, quite a touching moment sliced off for an ad about pro active or some shit.

Great movie tho..

Got halfway through watching the movie last night, then the digital here in busselton dropped out >:|

My Grandfather who has now passed used to race bikes with burt back in NZ when he was a young bloke. My father also had the pleasure of meeting burt and told me the movie is pretty accurate to how he lived his life....one thing the movie doesnt show you is that he returned to bonneville many times after that record was set. I have also been told that he managed to beat that record but never got the chance to have it recorded!

Burt wasn't just into his Indian. He also had the worlds fastest Velocette too until just the last couple of years.

[Cbr Junkie]

To bad it was before my time would have liked to have met him!

[agrid]

The credits noted that he returned to Bonneville 9 times.

Second time I saw it - I thought bits were missing. Bastards.

Great movie.
