@random971 Re: [quote] burt monro and john britten - what a pair of legends!! both were just brilliant men! [unquote] Yes- a couple of kiwi's they were, but around this neck of the woods, nothing really special- as NZ has more than it's fair share of pioneering innovative inventors (it's a fact of life down under) U have to be inventive to succeed here as we're TOO far away from costly repair parts- & Modification and Re-inventing the wheel is all in a days work for MOST joe average KIWI blokes

[Vraadrik]

John Britten & Burt Munro - Legends!!!!

[Mojolicious1]

I think if someone will break Burt`s record... this guy can`t be happy with it!

It will be the first person in history who is sad that he made a new record. hope it never happens.

great guy.... shitty music

[v8power1988]

rip burt

[Aphidboy]

A genuine hero. Don't we need them, though? Gods speed, Burt. Keep the sandy side down.

[TheCerysmae]

I remember running Burts mags on an Octopus test bench at Joe Lucas in the early 60's. He wanted to see how long the various bits of nylon and other cam material he picked up in the States would last for a run. It altered the spark as the gap changed. I recall him moaning about having to wear leathers as the shell was so tight to get into. He was a real old #8 wire Kiwi bloke. MikeMc

[barnfresh60]

lots more kids need to meet and spend time with guys like burt, this is when real ethics and knowledge is passed on to next generation, and rightly so!!!!

[QUIX4U]

@barnfresh60 ? Most rural NZ farmers are of the same mould; especially when, by being so far away from overseas manufacturers, that's ensursed that parts for machinery etc are virtually impossible to source in a hurry; thus the kiwi terminology of being a #8 inventor- as MOST of NZ's rural fencing is of #8 gauge low & high tensil galvanised wire, and the ONLY readily accessible maliable metal available to NZ farmers OUT in the backblocks on their farms as quick fixes are just DONE to FINISH work

[barnfresh60]

@QUIX4U thanks mate,learning all the time,some of my hot rods were held together in the past with #8 wire and it never let me down...cheer,s mate.

[tileajb1]

Awesome man, true gent and hero, film of Burts life has just been shown on British TV so expect you'll get a few more hits on the site, deservedly so!

[tileajb1]

Awesome person, true gent and hero, thanks for posting, suspect you'll get a few more hits on this as film starring antony Hopkins portraying Burts life has just been shown on British TV.

[delboy009]

[WindsNature]

RIP Burt...you did it...you lived your dream...well done.

RIP, man, now you`re sitting at the right hand of the God of speed.

[MrZrazies]

[m4chin31]

Un personaje q se hizo muy popular después de la película protagonizada x Sir Anthony Hopkins. La historia verídica de un gran hombre, héroe neocelandés. Si no vieron la película , por favor veanla, no se van a arrepentir

[karma10pa]

A Biker Forever...Hats off to him and his Spirit to Ride till the End!!.... Kiwi and Burt Munroe...New Zealand.

[IExposeMormonism]

"Pierce Motor Center" used a Zip Code! I hate zip codes. That means the poster is post 1964. You never see them before then.

[FilosUltra]

Um exemplo de vida. Vale a pena viver por nossos sonhos! Este é o cara.

[shithappenstome]

it should be Sir Herbert Burt Munro . He is one of New Zealands greatest men and always will be because no one can bet his record.

[shubhojitm]

Ohh man!! I just shed a tear!!

[thra5herxb12s]

The saddest thing for me is that i will never meet him. Dean Waters Buell rider UK

[harmageden]

the LOVE of MONEY is THE REAL obstacle to achieving GREATNESS.... REAL SUCCESS ..is aiming for a personal GOAL ...and LIVING THE DREAM ...as you can see...BURT & MANY like him...did it for the LOVE & THE SPORT....VIVE LA PASSION ! !

[taffinder]

[Contraexplosion]

El mejor del mundo...

el loco del 35!

Grande Burt!!

[erniegwright]

What a man, "hands on" made all his own stuff and the machines to do it some were a bit Heath Robinson I bet But they did the job just look at what he did beat the Yanks that had unlimited dollars and the latest gear My Kind of Guy fantastic achievement I agree with gbasile77 Hollywood did play his story down a tad

God Bless you Bert

[101Habbopranks]

i dont get why ppl should hate burt munro...he is a great, friendly, funny, loving guy....RIP burt I LUV U!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nibblerable]

WTF! ..... how does snail eating lyrics and 8ts synth musak honour Burt the Spurt!......Geez!

[flojogrande]

I met a gentleman who's parents sponsored one of Burt's stays over here in the early 70's when he went to Bonneville. The guy has pictures of him in his shop with Burt @ Bonneville. He stayed at his folks place near San Diego...Chula Vista if I'm not mistaken. The gentleman himself is another motorcycle legend of sorts. His name is Sonny Angel. I wish I would have been born in another era to have had a chance just to hang out with Burt.

[lukeslandspeeder]

seemed like a hell of a nice guy. those are getting rare these days. he knew motors.

[fa000582]

this song is "un peu plus près des étoiles" by Gold. (french band)

in english means : "a little closer to the stars"

[schuriken]

@fa000582 cheers

[krzys890]

What is the title of this song?

[christl301]

Very Kiwi, if you want something and can't afford it make it, if that dosn't work fix it, if that dosn't work ride it anyway your balls will see you through. If burt was an American he would of got a heap of sponcership and had all the safty gear in the world...How do you think we flew before the Wright brothers, or invented the jet engine for boats or split the atom. Give a Kiwi a car battery and a tin can, we would turn that into a time machine. Also check out "John Brittain.

[LeyvaLady]

I just watched the movie on NetFlix: "THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN". In Loving Memory of Burt Munro: You had a SUPER, DUPER INDIAN SCOUT!!!! FANTASTIC RACER!!!!! At 67 yrs. of age...you let NO OBSTACLES GET IN YOUR WAY!!!!! R.I.P., GOOD BUDDY!!!!! I KNOW YOU'RE RIDIN YOUR INDIAN SCOUT UP IN THE WILD BLUE YONDER!!!!!! "I Love Ya, Burt!!!!!!!!!!"  :)

[pasindian84]

burt l'uomo del record...una leggenda from invercargil......

[gbasile77]

Funny how usually Hollywood takes a real life story and makes it seem more than it was.....

In the case of Burt Munro, his real story makes the movie seem under-done!

[jauna36]

Very very nice.

[turbinee]

Mr.Munro showed us all that human will is the strongest thing in the universe

[822green]

Deepest respect, inspiration that says dreams never die. Thank you Burt!!

R.I.P.

[metua10]

burt's determination was like no other, A lot of respect, from wellington, new zealand. True Kiwi.

[LilTurnbull]

LEGEND!! LID'S OFF TO YOU BURT

[bubblegumpaul]

Thanks for the vid! Some great pictures of the worlds fastest Indian. R.I.P Burt. Its amazing how much he looks like Hopkins too!

[Pikey808]

Lol, an influx of ppl were just watching the film on the beeb by the looks of things. Good show and an interesting story.

[Tonivelerolongyang]

Un soñador con coraje y ahora famoso por una película de su aventura...Me gustan los tíos así...la vida no es fácil. Pero es divertida.

[fattossa]

a very clever dedictaed man, RIP Burt.

[OU8121ST]

A Very insperational human Being

[traxxas5]

I have so much respect for Burt

[misterics76]

GOOD! A LEGEND!

[sociablyclussy]

I love the movie , but the director pissed me off. Burt never kissed no damn nigger transvestite. Hollywood pushes all that fag shit on us. Don't fuck with our hero you Hollywood assfucks!!!

[yoimjamie]

I bet Burt wasn't a bigoted racist either.

[goofywilly]

Yeah the minute i saw the drag queen part i said fucken fairywoods done it again!!!! Fuckin assholes would have John Wayne in a dress if they could!!!!

[jenn54748]

I think they were tryin' to show what a sheltered life he lead. And that he was a genuinely nice person no matter what race or sexual orientation you were, somehow I get the feeling that you two are not.

[iiii2011]

@jenn54748 WHAT?????



[MrTukipuki]

ye-ar or Rock Hudson even. .

[ashtongrist]

very good point only that there was no dramatisation it was a factual acount of his story. He really did meet a drag queen. Argo ....everything you saw in the film was perhaps not word for word but it happened. It was real. I'm done. I could call you an idiot but its late and I want a sandwich.

[goofywilly]

I guess ive become synical.... of course hollywoods track record would have nothing to do with that.... how was that samich? Have some "MILK" with that !

[upstart1776]

You say it in a crass way, but it's true. I work in Hollywood, and there is the gay agenda in everthing, from writing to editing, to casting, even to product placement.

[lolahavasuaz]

thanks man, made my day............!

we also enjoy the magic and mystery of a very special moment in history......as it is...

[TheRealBrockLesnar]

THE BEST !!

[goodfellow1984]

LEGEND!
