The World's Fastest Indian

[zukracer]

hmm, not these days

Old crazy guy going really fast on a motorcycle, yea I’m in. In 1962 his guy hit 178.971mph with 850cc!

I'm go'in ta have too go see it...........
I don't think in real life Indian ever set a land speed record.

It's a true story.  He went almost 180 mph on a bike built in the 20's or 30's with a stock top speed of 50 some miles an hour.

I thought the movie was comming out last friday, but couldnt find it playing anywhere. Still not showing locally, but really want to see it...maybe I will have to wait until it hits DVD.

201.3 Mph - 1920 Indian with an original top speed of 54 Mph.
His 1967 world record for V-twin under 1000cc still stands.

Awesome movie. The people in the movie remind me a lot of the people on this board. Help out where and when you can. I'll be buying this on DVD the day it comes out.

Later,

Good movie can even take your better half to see it. The movie has a message to it. I put on my World's Fastest Indian T-shirt and enjoyed the show. I'll see it again with my wife.

I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago in Orlando, Anthony Hopkins was very good in it. Good story but not a lot of motorcycling until about the last 30 minutes or so. I would definately recommend it though.

Just seen the movie tonight, and it was fantastic! This is a movie you can bring the kids to, and not worry about a thing. Just sit back and enjoy an excellent movie, and walk out feeling good you spent $8.50 on a movie per person...been a long time since I thought a movie was worth paying for.

Anyhow, I will be adding this title to my DVD collection...

ok....so I finally got to see the movie last week (DVD via netflix).....I loved it.
Always remember that "dirty old men need lovin too, ya know!"

....also, since nobody mentioned it....the main character's name was Burt or Bert ...what ever the spelling.................and he said his dead brother's name was Ernie!
