I shipped this one from CHC to Japan quite a few years ago.  Had it in my warehouse for about a week or so while a crate was made for it. 
Some of the office people got 'in' it & had their pic taken.  Bit too cramped for me, and if I remember rightly, the exhaust came right close to one of your legs - apparently Burt used to get burnt quite regular because of the heat coming off the pipe.

Yep.... it's a FANTASTIC film.

Which gives me an idea for another thread....

Both the original and the replica are on display  at E Hayes & Sons in Invercargill. Well worth a visit if you get to Invercargill. Not just Burts bikes but a nice collection of both cars and bikes.
Yes its a damn good film......you can even let the kids watch it !!

[Mrg]

yes this is a truly great film and such a brave man to not let anything beat him from getting his life goals ,,, and yep ive just watched the film again  gets me every time i see it       and thanks for the pic on the Indian they look great

Some of the display at E Hayes & Sons, Invercargill.
Bit of busted stock there, check Burt's sandshoes, lower shelf.
Went to the Burt Munro Challenge in 2012. Its a great event and the bike fraternity is made most welcome in Invercargill.
Google, Burt Munro Challenge. Anyone planning a trip to the South Island in late November could do a lot worse than including this on their itinerary.

The real deal:

I think this is the one made for the film -

Dad and I watched this film a few years ago..
He was in the Merchant Navy and stayed at Invercargill for a while..It suddenly dawned on him that he'd actually watched Burt Munro speed testing his bike on the beach!!

Shame he didn't have any photos.
