Worlds Fastest Indian

I watched a movie called "The Worlds Fastest Indian" starring Anthony Hopkins the other night. This movie is GREAT! One of the best most inspiring movies I've ever seen. It is a true story based on a New Zealand land speed record holder who makes a trip to the salt flats in Utah and uses his custom 1924 Indian Scout to compete.

2 thumbs way up for this film!

Yes, a classic! My favorite part was when the holligan, typical, stereotyped, bad bikers who caused a little scuffle in the town. Actually were the only ones who had respect and escorted him out of town, and threw him a wad of bills. Said "beer money" That was the best part!

Just goes to show you there are smart people who are broke that are building some really great performing bikes in their garages. Really great movie.

Definitely one of the better motorcycle related movies of recent production. Sir Anthony Hopkins is one of those actors that I will watch anything he's in.
