Hello Mr. Skins, how are you? Do you have seen the film about the history of Burt Munro? I just have seen it and I like it very much. Because of it I'd like to know the opinion of another great Kiwi (you), about this man and the film. Thank you :thumbup:

Burt Monroe was a true New Zealand motorcycle legend. Here is a link to Another New Zealand motorcycle legend. One of the greatest motorcycle designers and builders of all time. Be prepared to be impressed. Seeing this thing up close can give you goose bumps.

I'm completely agre with you Marinus, I read about Britten bikes few years ago, and I was impressed. :eek: Technically his bikes was very futuristic, conceptually. Front fork, powerful engine...I like Britten bikes very much. Britten decease was a waste of talent. :roll:
Recently I have read an article of Drysdale V8 bike, and I like it too. I think there are a lot of crazy guys down there. :screwy: :D :D :thumbup:
