A Mortorcycle Lover's Movie

I saw "The World's Fastest Indian" here in New Zealand last night. A really good film with Anthony Hopkins about a Kiwi that still holds the land speed record for 1000 cc bikes. His records still stand. As this film was made and produced here in NZ, I am not sure if it has made it's way to the U.S. yet. His old 1924 Indian machine was originally designed to go at 65 mph. He modified the bike somewhat, and got 201 mph out of it at Bonneville.
