Great family movie that just gets better as you get into it.

A movie I have enjoyed watching a couple of times.
They don't make make bikes like that, very passionate and dedicated he was to his sport. My favorite part is the run against the young bucks on the beach. Great Movie.

I just saw the same era Indian motorcycle here at an Indian dealer. I was looking to see if they had the new Scout. They have probably the most innovative change in engine technology of any cruiser. They've built a shortened stroke water cooled engine that will no doubt change how people think about powering a cruiser.

If you had to throw a leg over on a cruiser......

I recommend "The Worlds Fastest Indian" to everyone, not just others that ride. It's not just a good MC movie, it's a good movie! The DVD has a documentary "Offerings to the God of Speed" with clips of Burt that will show you Anthony Hopkins did a great job portraying him. I've seen WFI at least 15times. Seems every time I tell someone about it, I watch it again.
