Worlds fastest Indian

[BudSooner]

In `60s New Zealand, at the bottom of the world, Burt Munro takes a 1920 Indian motorcycle and, delightfully without resources other than his own obsession and a Kiwi #8 wire mentality, spends his retirement rebuilding the bike and following his dream to go to Speed Week at Salt Lake in Utah. Under funded, without the support of a team and against all the odds he not only makes it to Bonneville, he sets a world land spend record, not once, but again and again.

Looks like a pretty good movie.

The wife and I watched this film last night. Very enjoyable. Hopkins does a great job and made me want to see my dad.
