"The World's Fastest Indian".....

...is streaming on Netflix right now. I hadn't heard of it before, but at 22:00 in, it looks pretty good.

Is a cool movie/story. Dude on the r1forum posted a picture of Burts bike the other day. It's in some New Zealand museum.

I am the Worlds Fastest Indian number 1 fan.

I have seen the movie on DVD like a. Hundred times. I first saw the movie at a theater. I had just become interested in motorcycles again after 16 years off motorcycles.

I have been to Invicargill New Zealand. I. Have stood on Oreti beach

I went to Hayes hardware store and saw the real bikes.
I went to the museum and checked all the bits from the movie.
My wife who is from New Zdealand bought me a BIG movie poster singed by Roger Donaldson.One of only 20 .It is framed and hangs in the house.
I have read two books about Burt Munro and now have A new one I got for Christmas.

I have raced land speed for 3 years and made 97 passes. All with a Worlds Fastest Indian tee shirt on

I am a geek I know.

my sister had it and i wasnt even interested in motorcycles at the time. i finally watched it with my gf after i got my ninjette and i thought man, this is one good movie. my gf isnt even into motorcycles and she liked it a lot. i think what makes it really good is the story of burts journey more than the motorcycle itself.
