    Worlds Fastest Indian

    Can't wait to see this movie being filmed about the exploits of Bert Monro! 300+kph on a 1920's Indian! Jeez, thats quite a feat even on a modern Superbike.

    One of Uncles Mates has a book about his bikes, I haven't managed to read the book myself (yet) as everyone else wants it, but some of the stuff he did was amazing even by todays standards. A movie about sounds good, what's it called? 200mph+ on a 1920's bike wearing goggles and a bucket helmet is very incredible.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.
