Great movie - well done Mr Anthony Hopkins for bringing this wonderful story of one mans accomplishments to someone who wouldn't have known otherwise - this is why movies are made and remembered, one of your finest performances.
Burt Munros record for under 1000cc still stands to this day - legend.

@criticalmass181 both of them are kiwis, so it must mean something.

So the movie lied when it showed him doing 201 his first time out?

@Pitumisio If you want to see another hero...and yes, there still are a few about, have a look at John Britten, and his V1000, that beat Ducati, and all the others, in the 90's. (Tragically ended life, but his legacy is fantastic) I wish I knew both of them. God bless.

Amazing story and great example of what the human spirit can achieve! I just saw the movie, well done.
How relieving it is to know this is no Hollywood make-believe. There are no heroes anymore, and Burt was probably the last one. This is having a gifted mind and two balls of steel. Let's all look up to him.
