Un omaggio all'omonima pellicola intrpretata da Antony Hopkins che racconta la commovente storia di Bart Munroe.. Anziano neozelandese che aveva un grande sogno, portare la sua Indian Scouth del '27, costruita nel garage dietro casa, a correre sul lago salato di Bonneville,tempio della velocità, e conquistare il record nella sua categoria...!!! Investi tutti i suoi risparmi per attraversare il mondo, e dopo mille peripezie, riusci nel suo intento di provare a lanciarsi sulla distesa salata che tanto aveva bramato.... Lasciò tutti esterrefatti e a bocca aperta... Lo fece..!!! Una storia che commosse tutti gli organizzatori, che lo invitarono a tornare a loro spese negli anni a seguire... Una storia d'altri tempi... film consigliato anche a chi non appassionato di motociclismo... Non ve ne pentirete... So Long Bart... R.I.P.

Mythical. This version of the Indian, for the presence of the siren, it seems to me that supplied the police.
For some years it was the fastest bike in the world, to note the shock front leaf :) and the modernity of the narrow V of the cylinder, the alleged inspiration coming from the radial engines of propeller planes then.
Detail is the reservoir which attaches to the frame below and not above. The wide handlebar and fanalone characterized it further.
He deserved to be immortalized :)
A greeting
Baldassarre
