I know I'm bumping this old thread but....

I finally got to watch this film last week.

Wow, indeed what a great movie! 
If you haven't seen it yet make a point to see it!  :)

Stev-o, you gotta come out of the bat cave more often.    I watch it once a year or so, maybe I should watch it again-may inspire me to work on a bike or two...Larry

Found the movie by accident a couple years ago browsing Netflix. Definitely deserving of cult (or at least "classic") status like "On any Sunday"...

only better!

I loved the movie when I viewed it a few years ago.I like how Mr. Munro did All his own work for So many years in his garage,he even forged his own pistons  8) & kept at it until he got it just right ! w/ the long term goal in mind to "go to Bonneville"  ;D
He finally made it there ! and then they told him he couldn't run !  >:(  I didn't like that part of the movie..,but it did work well for him in the end  ;D ;D :)
