Burt Munro: ... “You live more in five minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime.”

One of my all time favorite quotes.

Who hasn’t tried to see how fast their bike would go?

I can still remember how fast I went on all my bikes from the past.

160ish here….. oops. Leather jacket flapped like a pidgeon. 🤣

Got my 66 Bonneville up to 125 going down hill with 2 up

👌

The movie Worlds fastest Indian from 2005 is on my ”watch from time to time”list.

Just watched it and it was so good,…. on a lot of levels.

Seen his bike in Hayes & sons in Invercargill.. amazing!

Wow

Burt Munro did all the engineering himself and was radical. Just watched film with Hopkins - 🙄 so good.

Much Respect!!!

205 mph in 67 on an old customised Indian. 🫡🙄
