Happy "day after" Thangsgiving to all 
After dinnner last night my brother had rented and CD movie called "The fastest Indian" based on a true story,It was circa 1962,a bloke from New Zealand,Burt Munro,with the ambition to come to America to the Salt flats and run his 1920 Indian Spirit <1000c.c's??> all out.
The Story was more about his trials and tribulations on getting to America,and the people he met whilst in America who helped him get to the Flats..he forged his own pistons,used a carving knife to form his "racing" tires,got rejected for racing the bike because the inspectors found it and him to be unsafe..but in the end he did race..to a world record of 201.865 MPH!
I think at the end of the movie it said he went back 9 times and still holds the record for his class..just wondering if anyone else has ever seen this movie??:ride
