The World's Fastest Indian

I had planned on posting more this evening but Zoe rented this movie and we watched it in between the start and end of the last post. Incredible on so many levels. Great acting, a fast motorcycle, and a great story. Burt Munro was setting land speed records, while in his 70s, on a bike he bought new in 1920, on a zero dollar budget. A movie for everyone. The DVD also includes the documentary the director made in 1971 of the real Burt Munro. This movie is a labor of love.

update
It's the next day and I can't stop thinking about this movie and Burt Munro. Inspirational isn't a strong enough word. Here are some Burt Munro links.
