Excellent movie. If you get it on DVD one of the extra features is "Burt
Munro - Offerings To The God Of Speed", a 1971 documentary about the real
Burt Monro. He was best known in the US for the records he set at Bonneville
with his Indian, but he also raced a highly modified Velocette MSS which is
of more interest to me.
