Went to Design2Pictures.com to learn more. Here's what they say about this film; it seems it's part of a three part series documentary.

"Thank you for visiting design2pictures. We are a full range production house specializing in short films and documentaries.

Documentary:
Currently in the works is a 3 part series about America’s love of motorcycles, entitled “Men and Motorcycles”. Spanning the 1947 to 1959 timeframe, the first installment tells the story of the famed “Indian Wrecking Crew”. Sit back and listen to Bill Tuman and Bobby Hill recount the events that lead them to the AMA Hall of Fame. Scheduled for release in 2008 we hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it."


                                                                           To Design2Pictures

I'm a believer in writing campaigns and if we let them know there are history hungry enthusiasts out there it might have a better chance of wide spread release. Can't hurt. Hopefully it'll be released on DVD after.


edit: Just thought to add this movie link with further info and email addresses... hint hint.  ;)

I'll look for that one!
On a simmialr note,

Has anyone seen the movie, "the worlds fastest indian?
Its a great movie starring anthony hopkins.

The life story of New Zealander Burt Munro, who spent years building a 1920 Indian motorcycle -- a bike which helped him set the land-speed world record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967.

Yup got that in my hot little hands as soon as it went to DVD. Saw it in the theater too. I guess the making of the film was a real labor (labour?) of love.

I'm wondering if this was a straight to DVD thing. I gotta run, but will contact them about availability and such.

awesome! i just emailed the production company and attached a link to this forum/ and thread. if i was a member of any tracker/speedway forums i'd post there too. chances are someone among their ranks has to know about this though.
