I don't quite think this is right. I was in at E Hayes were the original bike still sits and TV3 were there to do a story on this. I think someone has been had.

Ok i may be shot for saying this :2guns: but it wasnt one of Burt Munros bike. It was a close friend of Burts but not one of his own, he never put a spanner or anything on it so i think TV3 has done wrong by everyone in telling a story which isnt entirely true.:shit:
