  1. Well sort of on topic in view of the advanced age of some of those here
    Just stumbled across a upcoming movie about a Kiwi. Burt Munro. Which
    jogged my memory about him

    In the 60s and 70s he took his 1920s indian motorcycle WHICH HE BOUGHT
    NEW to Bonneville and set some land speed records that still stand
    today. Including one run of over 200 mph. He had no money and was in
    his 70s. He hand made his engine parts.. had no training and was retired
    with a heart condition.

    Hope for all of us.

    Just thought I would mention it.. Feel free to howl me down. I just
    like to see people achieve their dreams. And Burt Munro did.

    Incidently at the Toy Run on sunday a bloke was showing me his triton.
    It was a new one he said. Built about 10 years ago with a 1967 engine
    and 1971 frame. 🙂

    Makes me feel like I am all young again. And so is stealth Kat.
