I don't know if anyone else has rented or seen the movie "World's Fastest Indian"  

Anthony Hopkins stars in the moive and it is based on a true story of a man on a quest of taking his Indian motorcycle to Speed Week and being the fastest bike in the world.

I thought it was a really good movie.  One of our (T.J. and I) hobbies is watching movies, granted you have pay an arm and a leg to go to the movie theater so we mainly rent movies through the movie pass at Blockbuster and use Netflix.  

I don't know if it would be suitable for people that are not motorcycle fans because they would find the movie boring.    ;)

No, it is a great movie, because his cycle is different from the other ones. ;) (Something creative. I am suprised you could even like it) Of course it is not as cool as the Carver because his bike could only go straight ahead and had no brakes to stop it.

But the key success to the film was a well written story and a great actor in Sir Anthony Hopkins to make the character (actual true character by the way) come to life.
He rejected the usual motorcycle because they were not creative. Burt would have been a huge supporter of the Carver for Shi. ;D

Surprised that I liked the bike?  Hmmmm.....actually I am surprised that you liked the bike being that you seem to be in Carver box mind.    

oh and thank you for being redundant and repeating the fact of it being a true story, I can see that you really read these posts.

Second, he built the bike out of pieces from other things and only made it to race and nothing else.  And the creativity was a fiberglass shell over the skeleton frame of his bike.

I knew I would get you kids all worked up with my comments. It doesn't take much.......

I enjoyed the film, I am suprised any of you could. Burt was very creative, everything done by his own hand in making modifications and his creative use of some unusual parts. His sickle looked like a torpedo. Something different and unique.

But if we both liked the movie, then we agree on something.
