The only reason the bike didn't go faster was because it was weighed down by Burt's set of massive brass balls.

As God. Not just a legend.

Burt's bike was under 1000cc, 950cc to be precise and his record stands even today in 2023. His bike was already 47 years old in 1967, a 1920 bike with an original top speed of 89km/h or 55mph. He made all the parts and cast them himself due to poverty. Still multi-billion dollar Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Honda, KTM etc could not beat his 1967 record.

Should be noted that other sub 1000cc bikes broke his record even as soon as 1970. It's just his bike was in a very specific class (streamlined, modified fuel). There are completely unmodified (aerodynamically) bikes going much faster while still under 1000cc, and non modified fuel streamliners going faster. Anybody building a modified fuel streamliner would be >1000cc going for the ultimate speed record

Diesen Film sollte jeder Motorenbauer gesehen haben. Einfach nur lässig. Antony Hopkins hat die Rolle genial gespielt. Und dann beruht das noch auf einer wahren Begebenheit, besser geht´s nicht.. *_🏍💨_*

In the middle of this movie and absolutely love it. What a great movie!

Dang... this made my eyes leak. I saw the movie, and loved it. Rode motorcycles since my teens, and took most of them to their top end just to see, so I can relate to this need for speed. Last time I did that, I was in my 70s. Anthony Hopkins was wonderful in this movie.

Breaks! True Brilliant Film g

I’m not sure how many times I’ve watched this scene but every time I get tears.

All the years Burt was at Bonneville from 1956-1975 1956- Burt's 1st time at Bonneville, (spectator) 1957 - Burt's 2nd time at Bonneville,(spectator) 1959- Burt's 3rd time at Bonneville, ( still as a spectator), also in 1959 Burt first met the young Mickey Thompson, Mickey and Burt instantly warmed up to each other and became good friends. Burt then decided to debut with his Indian in either 1961 or 1962, it ended up being speed week of 1962. 1962 Burt's debut year - bike was 853cc, twin cam ( tail was 3 finned), s-a 883cc record at 178.971 mph (average). Earl Flanders the AMA referee said Burt's 1st measured mile on his first run was at well over 180 mph also Bonneville observers said Burt could have topped his record if he hadn't let off early due to his unfamiliarity with the timing setup. Burt had qualifying and runs at 171, 175, 179 mph and 182.55 mph. Burt went full bore with his Indian for the first time ever at the salt in 1962 . He was named sportsman of the year. In total Burt did 53 miles that year on the salt. 1963- Burt converted his bike to a 4 cam configuration, he also lowered the Indians nose for down force, the bike now has a large single, mono- tail fin instead of the triple fin from the previous year, his qualifying went well at 183.673 mph, after the qualifying run Burt was jittery with excitement, since the engine was going like a bomb in his own words and the stability issues were a thing of the past. His first run he was doing over 195 mph when the front connecting rod broke, ending his record attempts for 1963. Burt averaged 184 mph in the mile, His bike was still 853cc. 1964, Burt enlarged the Indian to 871cc, the Bonneville track was rough and terrible in 1964, doing a mere 40-50 mph Burt was taking a serious beating, he had to go low gear for a while then he put her in 2nd for another mile, slowly winding the throttle up, she started weaving as well so Burt kept sitting up to stabilize the bike while the Indian was getting faster and faster and faster, by mile 4-5 he was in top gear for awhile. Burt still managed to qualify at 184 mph, but bad weather the next day ended his chance of running record runs. Speed week 1964 was a total wash out, only a mere 2 days of running before bad weather ended speed week for good. 1965- a zero year for Burt, he had some runs At 168, 169 mph. At the end of 1965 Burt decided to run in the 61 inch class, 1000cc, instead of the 55 inch class, 901cc. Burt said himself he probably only qualified once. 1966- s-a 1000cc record at 168.66 mph(average), qualifying at 172 mph, unofficial top speed at 212 mph, Burt's Indian was 905cc, Burt was not happy with such a low average, considering his very sketchy runs where he was doing speeds way above that when the Indian was at the speed wobbles. Still it was another record. 1967- Burt arrived in America in June of 1967, 2 months before speed week started that year in August. He went to his friend Sam Pierce’s shop in San Gabriel California to work on the Indian. Burt Lengthened the Indian’s tail fin and cut a 203 mm hole into the nose cone which directed air into the body through a 10 kilogram lead tunnel casted from the old weight he had attached to the front of the frame. He also created outlets towards the rear of the shell hoping the modifications would reduce the pressure wave coming off the front which he thought had prevented the tail from stabilizing the machine. Burt also hoped the extra weight would help his bike run true like an arrow. Burt also enlarged the v-twins displacement to 953cc, s-a 1000cc record at 184.087 mph(average), best measured mile at 188 mph, qualifying at 184/190.070 mph, he upped his old record by nearly 16 mph earning himself top record breaker of 1967 and American motorcyclist of the year. He was still a little disappointed though. Burt knew the Indian had enough power to push it past 200 mph like it did the year prior in 1966 but one of the problems was the salt which was unfortunately wet and heavy. He estimated on every run that there was about 110 pounds of salt caked on the bike, which was enough to slow the Indian down to well below it's potential top speed. 1968- Burt had carburetor issues, the Indian kept insisting on running rich, even with the main jet nearly closed she still wouldn't run right, he could only coax a lousy 155 mph from his Indian. It was still a very interesting year though because Burt's good friend Mickey Thompson was there that year with his 1200 hp 1969 mustang. Mickey also gave Burt a ride at 11 pm one night in the mustang. After Burt got the Indian to where it seemed to be running like it's old self he decided to test his bike on the road in Nevada near reno which had no speed limit, he got pulled over after passing a cop at well over 100 mph, when the cop asked Burt on how fast he was going Burt replied with he was doing a lousy 160 at best, later on he told the officer that he had run at over 200 miles an hour and doing 160 is like a stroll in the bloody park. After that Burt gave up for 1968 because the Indian was not running good and there was no point in running it on the salt. 1969, For this speed week Burt was more prepared than any other year prior, he ran a qualifying run at 191 mph and his first run again at 191 mph but on his return run the Indian started blubbering and surging again like it did the year prior in 1968, Burt kept adjusting the fuel mixture, doing 14 runs on the salt in 4 days, but unfortunately to no avail. In 1970 Burt switched his fuel from methanol to nitromethane, even with all the adjustments he made to run his Indian on nitro the v-twin still burned out all his spare pistons. It was now over for Burt who was 71 years old. 1971- Burt's 13th year at Bonneville and 10th year running his Indian, which was his last. Ran a lousy run at 148.51 mph without the shell due to strict rules, without the shell, the Indian was now seriously over geared, he did another run with the shell on going full bore for the last time ever. Burt never ran his bike there ever again. New Zealand film director Roger Donaldson and his crew were also at the salt in 1971, they filmed Burt doing some runs on his Indian for the documentary about him called Offerings to the God of Speed, (1971). it's a phenomenal documentary, I highly recommend people to watch it, it's so good!. 1975 - Burt's 14th and final year at Bonneville, (Spectator), AMA officials said Burt could no longer officially run anymore. In 1975 Burt sold the original and highly modified 1920 Indian chassis/ fiberglass streamline shell, both Burt ran Bonneville all those years to his friend Sam Pierce. Burt took the original Indian engine home and gave Sam another one. Back home Burt put the record breaking v-twin which he ran at Bonneville into his 1924 Indian chassis, that frame was only ever run in New Zealand. In 1977 the year before Burt Munro passed away he sold his bikes to his friend Norman Haynes, Burt sold his 1936 velocette MSS 650 and of course the world famous Indian Scout which is not the actual bike Burt ran from 1962-1971 at Bonneville and set all the records on, the v-twin that sits in the frame is the original and highly modified 1920 record setting engine Burt modified but the chassis is from a 1924 Indian, that chassis Burt only ever ran in New Zealand. Both machines are on display at E Haynes and Son Hardware in Burt's hometown of Invercargill New Zealand. So today Burt's actual 1920 Indian Scout is in two countries. The original but highly modified 1920 chassis plus the fiberglass shell are in America, (restored) and owned by the Pierce family, the v-twin they have is a different one, not the original/ record setting one. In New Zealand, E Haynes and Son hardware has the original and built 1920 record setting v-twin which Burt modified all his life, that sits in Burt's 1924 Indian chassis( the frame which was never used in America, only in New Zealand). And they also have Burt's other bike he worked on as well, the 1936 single cylinder Velocette mss 650. In January of 1978 Burt passed away peacefully at home, age 78. Over 200 people came to his funeral Losing Burt was a massive loss to New Zealand even in America as well. Indian motorcycles themselves were really saddened by the news of Burt's passing but they were also really proud of him.

Lesson of the day: Lithium can be used as a fuel additive to give your engine a boost! and it's good to piss near a lemon tree! also put any rusty nails in the soil to give the tree what it needs! YOUR LEMONS will taste better! (-_+)

GREAT FREAKIN MOVIE... Absolutely the best movie Anthony Hopkins was ever in....!!!!!

utterly brilliant !

This movie is really fantastic Anthony Hopkins did a phenomenal job portraying burt but it doesn't even scratch the surface about the legend you have to read the books in order to fully understand how legendary burt is, Burt never had a 200 mph average because of unfortunate circumstances at the time but he did clock a run at well over 200 mph, in 1966 he ran at 212 but it was unofficial also at Bonneville in 1963 the Indian threw the front connecting rod at 195.5 mph. Burts fastest official speed he ran was 191.34 mph at Bonneville, 1969 LEGEND, I wish I could have met him, Burt was the ultimate mechanical genius, spending nearly his entire life highly modifying his stock scout which he bought brand new when he was 21, the legend set 3 speed records at Bonneville 62,66,67 not to mention more back In new Zealand before hand, his skills, passion and utter determination will never be matched, Burt's a once in a eternity type of person, brand new machine bad a top speed of 50-55 mph by the time he was done running at Bonneville he turned his 1920 indian indian scout into a speed demon clocking 212 miles a hour on a run in 1966 truly the god of speed, rest in peace legend I know your up in heaven going really fast.

The film worked so well because the director avoided all the gear crunching ,foot stamping on accelerator pedals clichés that dominate so many films of this kind .

Great film! I just wished more people would've welcomed him home, including all the bikers.

Great movie, I love this movie.

One of the BEST movies you probably never heard of...Kiwi's can indeed fly.
