Check out the movie The World's Fastest Indian sometime, with Anthony Hopkins. It's a great story. One of my favorite parts is where Burt races the young motorcycle toughs on a beach in NZ.

I very rarely will watch any movie more than once. But I've watched The World's Fastest Indian about 6 or 7 times in the past few years. Thanks for the youtube links !

Hey Jeff,
Finally watched the vids. I have rode west of Salt Lake but not made the Flats. What do you say? Sound like riding? This year I am going to Salt Lake to see the children. I will have 4 grandchildren by then. ) Then to Sturgis and Iowa for the Victory get together. Maybe next year?

Burt was the real deal all the way around.

'The World's Fastest Indian' was a great movie as well. If you haven't seen it, you're in for quite a treat.

As some have mentioned, the "World's fastest Indian" is really worth your time. I had to actually go and find and purchase it to watch as nobody had it for rent. But, turns out to be one of the best purchases I have made to date. Sadly, I may have to purchase another one because this one is getting worn out from all the play...er...peein on the CD (lemon tree...ha ha!). You'll get that joke when you see the movie (if you haven't yet)!

Watch the extras. I think at least one of the links is directly from the DVD showing the "offerings".

Great flick!
