God bless you Burt, mechanical genious and balls of hardened steel.Blazing down the salt flats at 330km/h decades before any bike maker could dream to reach such speed, on a 1920 Indian.You where truly the hardcore biker of the century.
And at 6.39 you see why he could gain that massive torque within the restrictions of Cubic Capacity limits - No one but Burt could have thought that! the eccentric big end. He was an expert on levers - amazing Man
boss 302 gorie. He apparently watched and studied many film clips of Burt Munro, to get his accent, speech, and mannerisms correct, and he nailed spot on.
This seems to be even more content that the extra feature of the DVD. Thank you Roger Donaldson for the original documentary and for following up with such an amazing movie about Burt Munro!
It really is good to see this once in a while - to keep in mind the vanity of all normal (as people regard it) life... He had the real good philosophy when he said anyone can buy a fast bike and ride it fast but not anyone can make a fast of a slow one and ride it fast... That attitude is also seen (sort of, I would like to say) by those people who go all places with old worn-out postie bikes!
You are right a true hero and as the move said the real deal and if you have never seen the worlds fastest Indian. it will be well worth the time. Burt a real hero of life & speed

Finally we can see what a real biker looks like. A gentleman with a passion to ride.
what a bike, what a film and what a man !
What an inspiration and a legend , great guy . So lovely of the Americans to embrace him the way they did . A legendary " SHED " engineer !
How has this only got 112000 views? This bloke is a legend.
God bless you Burt... You were a good man
Proud to be a Kiwi. Great to see we are still making something special against ALL ODDS like in the Americas Cup boat build and race
The legend himself.
