Heard a lot about it but not seen it yet. Anyone wanna loan me a copy?
Read today that Anthony Hopkins is tipped for an Oscar in the States for his portrayal of Burt Munroe the New Zealander who took his 1920s Indian Scout to the Bonneville salt flats & clocked 213mph on it. True story. Film's called The World's fastest Indian. Due out here in February I think. Yoda & I saw an advance screening in Soho a couple of months ago, (the perks of being a media mogul). Best biking film I've ever seen. Great story, great acting, great riding shots. Go see it.

Brilliant! Loved the opening shot of the two bikes on the freeway. Have watched it once all the way through then lent it to my brother for a week. As soon as I get it back I'll be watching it again!

My brother's lent me a copy of "HotRod Havoc". A montage of American rod shows, cars & clubs from 2005. It's put together by RuffRodders.com
Not sure if I can copy it. Some nice motors .

You can borrow mine when you come down. Bring it back when your frame's ready. Some great riding shots -60s style Triumph bobbers out on the freeway. A quirky but likeable bunch of Californian bikers building a bike for one of their club members, visiting various workshops to have parts made, sourcing old genuine parts & generally riding about in the sunshine. 'Tis good.

MMMotors shirts & Choppertown when you come down then.
Received your cheque in the post this morning by the way -bloody useless Post Office! Have you got your taper roller headstock bearings yet, so we can get the bearing cups machined up before you come down?
