I am an old dirt biker from my youth and my uncle was a motorcycle mechanic so I went to see that new movie, "The World's Fastest Indian".
For those who don't know, the Indian was a brand of motorcycle that was competing with Harley-Davidson but did not survive. There are people who a big fans of Indians though.
If you have any connection with motorcycles or know anyone who does, young or old, please tell them about this great movie.
It is about Bert Munro from New Zealand who came over here in the '60s with an old 1920 Indian 'Scout 45' to set some land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flat in Utah that are still standing today. He was clocked at over 200 mph on one of his speed timing runs.
It is staring Anthony Hopkins who is perfect in this part. Burt was in his '60s when he first made the epic journey to American.
