Just saw The World's Fastest Indian (2005) tonight. Wow. Starring Anthony Hopkins, it tells the story of New Zealand's Burt Munro, who at 68 broke the land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats in the 1960s on a 1920 Indian motorcycle — he hand-made his own parts. Especially if you like motorcycles, it's a great fun little film. Oh, and his 1967 record still stands.
Here's the preview trailer. It's out on DVD in June.

That looks like a good film. Those old Indians were glorious ... I also liked the motorcycle from Diarios de motocicleta - the old Norton.

Yeah, those old "motor-sycles" were amazing. I especially liked their aesthetic.
