Badass Burt
I watched The World's Fastest Indian last night. Wow...
I won't go into great details, because some folks just won't get into it. But if you're into speed, bikes, or feel good movies, you're probably going to love this flick. I did.
It's the story of Burt Munro, and his quest for a landspeed record on his 1920 Indian Scout... in 1962. The movie condenses several year visits to the Bonneville Salt Flats into one, but it still kicks ass. I couldn't help but grin throughout the movie, and I found myself tensing up, often. I was definitely into it.
Now, I've got to go get his biography... 'cuz Burt was a badass.

I am so glad you got to see it. I found the movie VERY inspirational...and a badass indeed. There are 2 biographies available I think, A fantastic movie.

And dude, that was the DVD we watched. Pick it up...

Don't miss it, wonderful stuff.
