![]() Hola Pumper! I'm very well, thank you, but very busy with my work. I'm sorry, I haven't seen the film yet, but now that you want my opinion of it, I will see it as soon as I can. Burt Munro has been a hero for motorcyclists in New Zealand for at least as long as I have been riding, which is 40 years. They used to say he cast his pistons in holes in the ground. I don't know if they showed that in the film. I live in another part of the country from him - in the North Island. If I lived closer to him, I'd know more. Motorcycling sure is big here in New Zealand. The only place I have seen as many bikes on the road - although I really haven't been to many places - was when I was living in Barcelona, Spain. As a result of the 'Fastest Indian' movie, I'd say Burt is now the most famous motorcyclist in New Zealand. I'll see the movie soon, and let you know what I think. |

Hi everybody, could you tell me what's the title of this movie? I've heard nothing about it and I'm becoming curious... Ciao |

The film, with a marvellous Sir Anthony Hopkins, starts when Burt Munro makes his own pistons from a Ford and Chevy ones. Burt's life seems to be very intense and I'm sure is very difficult to resume it in a 120 minutes film. Maybe, the technical face of Burt's Indian could be more extended, too. But I have enjoyed very much watching this film and I think you'll like it too. Barcelona is a good "motorcycle-city". Balearic Islands are very good too. Here the weather is soft, it rains little and the sun shines every day, in every season :thumbup: |

![]() The movie is called 'The World's Fastest Indian', Francesco. It's about a New Zealander who used an old Indian motorcycle, which were made in the US, to set speed records at Bonneville Salt Flats. He did it all on a low budget, using home-made parts. If you type 'Burt Munro' into Google, you will get a lot of links about Burt and the movie. I checked the first link, and it looked good. |
