The harware store in Invercargill has the orignal 1920 600 cc Indian motorcycles that But Munro modified to set the world speed record, 193 mph at Bonneville salt flats in the mid sixties.
What is even more astonishing is that the record still stands. The motorcycle on the left is the one that did it.
They made a movie, "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins, and it is a very good movie, that you all must now go rent and see.
