for some bloody amazing stories about the man and the bike that the movie missed, a real good read

thanx for that.. it's in interesting read (still reading thru it now..)

I did think the movie was very good, but also felt that it missed out some stuff which would have been good to know/see.

Excellent links. Still haven't had the chance to see the flick but heard it was good.
Cheers

What a fantastic read! An amaizinng guy alright.

I was a little apprehensive about the film - I'll try to catch it soon - because I knew it couldn't hardly touch on what the guy had done.Burt was a legend back in the 60s,I first starting riding bikes in 1970 and knew about him...I had that Motorcycle Sports Quarterly with the article on Burt,and a friend of mine made a pilgramage to his shed while in the Sth Island in the early 70s.Quite a guy,the film won't do him justice I'm afraid....hope I'm wrong.

Probably not, but it's done Munro more justice by being made that if it wasn't made at all.
