Had some friends over for a workshop back in January. One of the guys brought the movie “The Fastest Indian”. Burt Munro was played by Anthony Hopkins. I was intrigued & inspired...
Since then I purchased the movie, got a rule book and have semi-seriously thought of entering a bike in one of the 175cc classes.
As you might expect; there’s quite a bit that needs to happen.
Weigh to HP combined with potentially a “partial slipstreaming” is the ticket. I can build the motor & bike, but there’s no way I could weigh 120lbs or less.
Not looking for volunteer drivers at this time, just pondering the scope of this venture and whether it’s something I wish to peruse.
Has anyone been to Bonneville or El Mirage and entered a bike?
Curious to get your thoughts.
