Colin the Bear Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Order yourself a Bindaloo and you'll have more than a Burnt Munroe Quote
XmisterIS Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I had a Naga last night. I'm just about to head out on the road, and I'm telling you I might well have to dive off the bike while scrabbling at my belt buckle and shouting, "Oh God! Oh God! It's coming out!" Quote

Fozzie Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 His bike barely did 50mph when he bought it... It has an unofficial speed of 201mph. It was timed but wasnt an official run. Quote
Susieque Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Burt Munro- doesn't sound very Indian Lol, Burt Monroe wasn't an Indian - it was the make of his bike! And yes, great film!! Quote
Nogin Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 And he still holds the record today! Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 His bike barely did 50mph when he bought it... It has an unofficial speed of 201mph. It was timed but wasnt an official run. A brilliant mechanical and design engineer! Megawatt - That's your challenge - Beat Burt! Quote
