One Man's Dream: The Britten Bike Story
Loading...
Uploaded by ruff00 on Oct 25, 2010
Motorcycle enthusiasts the world over have always talked of designing the ultimate "Super" bike. New Zealander John Britten did more than talk about it. He went ahead and built it -- at home and by hand!
This is his amazing true story. From the backyard workshop to the screaming action of Daytona and the Isle of Mann, this fascinating video captures all the drama -- the dreams and the nightmares, the triumphs and the tragedies. It is the legend of the man from "Down Under " who dared to challenge the might and wisdom of the world's great motorcycle production factories and captured a nations imagination en route.
And it is the tale of the revolutionary bike that confounded the critics and took the world by storm.
The film has been remastered, and there is additional, never seen before footage included as special features on the disc.

I love being kiwi
Now there is another reason to love being a kiwi!!
I thought my little 250 2 stroke was a little devil for pulling the front wheel
But this takes the cake for awesome machine!

Brought tears to my eyes! A True kiwi legend! What a rush it must be to twist the throttle of that bike ! The front wheel doesnt want to stay down! Ha! Good work Ben, Harry will be proud of your efforts!
