Finished the book - awesome Summer read. The movie really only/maybe covers a 1/4th of the story. I am amazed Burt survied as many crashes as he did. He sustained more concussions than an NHL pro hockey player fm all his roadside, dirt, cinder block, grass, hill climb, salt flats, and beach bike races. Tenacious. Added video link to the movie trailer and Video doc (25 mins) to "yammering & howling" regarding Burt's pursuit for speed.

My son just finished one of his mechanical engineering exams and one of the of the questions (answer provide later) had to do with Burt Munro's "The Worlds Fastest Indian" 1000cc twin. Can't imagine how Burt manage to squeeze that amount of power from a twin - genius. Bored because of CV19 - watch the movie.
