0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Sorry, George, what did you say? - Do you know what time it is?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Sorry. I've got a heck of a lot to get done today, mate.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And you know what they say, the early bird catches the worm.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43And if you do this again one more time, I'm calling the cops!

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Hi, kid.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Here we are, the perfect recipe.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Two of Chevy... one of Ford.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I think those, er... '36 Chevy pistons
0:04:36 > 0:04:39much have a touch of titanium or something in them.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41They come up real good, you know.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Hey, the kettle's boiling. Make yourself useful, make some tea.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Can we have a biscuit, too? - What?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Can I have a ginger nut? - Yeah, you know where they are.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Help yourself.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Now, you stay over there. Stay there.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11HISSES
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Right.- What are you doing for Christmas, Burt?- I don't know.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Why? You angling for a present or something?
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- No, I wondered if you're going away. - No, no time for Christmas, lad.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Got a lot of work to do.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I only managed 27 test runs this year.
0:05:30 > 0:05:3424 on the beach and, er, three on the road.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36All illegal, like.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I was going a bit over the speed limit, I have to admit.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- How fast were you going? - Oh, I haven't a clue.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45That's why I got to get it up to Bonneville,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48find out how fast she will go.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Now, there you go.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Got to get the piston out of the mould...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Bob's your uncle.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Right, this is the last part of the operation.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Chill the metal.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It heat-treats it. Watch yourself.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22HISSES
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- That's where I got the water for the kettle from!- Yeah, well, er,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29that gives the tea a nice tang of titanium, doesn't it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34This bloke, he once asked me, "How do you heat-treat your pistons, Burt?"
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I said, "I don't, mate, I just bung 'em in cold water
0:06:38 > 0:06:42"and Bob's your uncle." And he said, "Well, that's the heat treatment."
0:06:42 > 0:06:46And he just laughed and shook his head and walked away, like...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Oh, well, this could be the perfect piston.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It bloomin' well ought to be! I've made hundreds of them.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Look at them all up there all blown to smithereens.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- You made all those? - Yeah, I did. Look, perfect!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Beautiful, no inclusions. See?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Now, Tommy, does, er, your mother have a carving knife I could borrow?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Carving knife, yeah. - Yeah, I need a good, sharp knife.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Oh. Hang on.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Thomas, what are you up to? - Nothing, Mum.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Can I have some peanut butter? - OK. But make sure you put it away.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Tom!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Don't forget the wood. - No, Mum.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Right... I have to get as much... rubber off as possible.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57It has to be perfectly bald. Like that, you see?
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- Why's that?- Well, at high speed the, er, centrifugal force,
0:08:02 > 0:08:09er, expands the tyre and, er, rubs against the frame of the bike.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12You have to be careful not to cut through the cords though.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13HE CHUCKLES
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Why do you pee on your lemon tree?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Huh? - Why do you pee on your lemon tree?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Who... Who says I do that? - Mum says she sees you every morning.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- She goes on and on about it. - Oh, does she?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Hm, oh, well. Well, it's a good fertiliser.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36You know, you shouldn't waste anything in this world, sonny.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Well, I'd better be off home. - All right, then.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Mum gets a bit cross if I stay over here too long.- She does?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Are you finished with the knife? - Er, not yet. I'll, er,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I'll drop it by later. - No, um, don't do that.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- I'll pick it up after school tomorrow.- All right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Bye. - Cheerio.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03from, er, Springfield, Massachusetts.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- Yeah, it's the world's greatest motorcycle.- Oh! Is that so?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- That's right.- You can come through now.- All right, thank you.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Yeah, Springfield...
0:22:16 > 0:22:20'Yeah, the plan is for me to drive up to Timaru.'
0:22:20 > 0:22:24And there me and my bike will catch a boat to the US-of-A,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28to, er, Los Angeles. And the boat leaves on Saturday.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32And I'll buy a car in Los Angeles and drive up to Utah,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- to the Bonneville Salt Flats. - And it's important you do this trip?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Oh, sure is, mate. You know, ever since I was a lad
0:22:39 > 0:22:43I've been interested in things that go fast, you know, things that go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And, you know, at Bonneville things go real fast.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50It's, er, this, er, giant, er, dried-up lake bed.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54And it goes for miles and miles and it's dead flat
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and you can drive a vehicle just as fast as it will go.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00And it's one of the few places on Earth
0:23:00 > 0:23:04where you can find out, er, just what your machine is capable of.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07In fact, here I am on the, er... That's me on the front
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- of the New Zealand Motorcyclist. That's the Indian there.- Very good.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Yeah, a few years ago. So I'd best be off soon
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- because I don't know how much longer I've got to live.- Yes, well,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- I don't think I heard that. - I said, I don't know how much long -
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- Yeah, I heard you the first time. - Oh.- So, tell me, Burt,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- what are you offering as collateral for this loan?- Well, my tools
0:23:29 > 0:23:32and my bits and pieces and my trophies and A lot of things like that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I don't think they'd be of much interest to the bank.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40We need something substantial, like the deed of title to your property.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Did you get the money? - Yeah. Off on Thursday.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Thursday?- Yeah. - That soon?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- I wish I could come, too. - Well, maybe next time.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Thomas, it's dinner time. Come home now.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- Nearly finished, Mrs Jackson.- Yeah, Mum, we're almost finished.- Thomas!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- See you after dinner, Burt. - All right, mate.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11HE MIMICS ENGINE ROAR
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Hey, not so fast. I'm the record breaker.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Where you going?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25And, er, that's the, er... before I put the, um,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27the streamliner on it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- What's that one? - Yeah, that's a girlfriend of mine
0:24:35 > 0:24:38when I first bought the bike. Long time ago, that is.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Yeah.- Aren't you scared you'll kill yourself if you crash?- No.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49No, you, er... you live more in five minutes
0:24:49 > 0:24:52on a bike like this, going flat out,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54than some people live in a lifetime.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59And, er... yeah, more in...five minutes...
0:24:59 > 0:25:02That's my dad there. And my mum.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06They're all gone.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Oh, it's gone by so fast.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13No, danger is the spice of life.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16You got to take a risk now and again, haven't you, son?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20That's what makes life worthwhile.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24And, you know, having some nice ladies around
0:25:24 > 0:25:26can be a big help, mind you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27HE CHUCKLES
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- You really don't get scared? - No. No.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35You know, when I was a boy about your age,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I, er, had a little twin brother. His name was Ernie.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43And, er, one day our dad was out the back, er, cutting down a tree.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48And, er, suddenly it got hung up -
0:25:48 > 0:25:51the tree, that is, it got stuck on something -
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and Ernie went to try to help
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and all of a sudden the tree slipped and fell on him
0:25:56 > 0:26:00and...killed him stone dead.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Yeah... I'll always remember that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Anyway, since then I've always tried never to be scared of anything.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Though I must say before a big bike event I do sometimes get nervous.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21You know, if the, if the butterflies in my stomach were, were cows,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I'd be able to start a dairy farm.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28That's funny?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32When they took you off in the ambulance to the hospital,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- what happened?- I don't know, just a touch of indigestion, I think.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40That's all it was. Nothing wrong with me. Don't you worry about me.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45And anyway at my age any day above ground and vertical is a good day.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Listen, will you take care of this till I get back all right?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- What happens if you don't come back? - We'll talk about it then, shan't we?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Hey, Burt?- Yeah?- Don't forget to mow your lawns, will you?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- What?- Don't forget to mow your lawns. My dad goes on and on about it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Oh, he does, does he?- Says it lowers property value in the neighbourhood.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Well...oh, dear, we can't have that, can we?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32FIRE ROARS
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- What are you doing?- Hello, son! Just getting rid of the grass.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Well, I hope so. Yeah. - Dad doesn't think you can do it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Oh, is that what he said? - He says everyone thinks that.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Oh, well.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Except me.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Ah, you're a good, good boy, Tom. Yeah.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18I tell you something, son...if you don't follow through on your dreams,

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Let's go over again what you said.

0:56:21 > 0:56:25All right, er... I'll take ethyl.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34- Hi, young fella. - Hello. Is this a rocket ship?
0:56:34 > 0:56:37- What? - Is this a rocket ship?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39I hope so.
0:56:47 > 0:56:50RATTLES AND SQUEAKS
0:57:00 > 0:57:02Agh!

0:57:16 > 0:57:18Oh, gosh...
0:57:24 > 0:57:27What's happened to you?
0:57:30 > 0:57:33Oh, well.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38Let's have a look at you.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40HE GROANS
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Gotcha!
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Hey, come on.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11I thought we were going to make it, you and me.
0:58:11 > 0:58:14And now look what's happened.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16HE GASPS
0:58:29 > 0:58:32HE GROANS
0:58:41 > 0:58:43HE GASPS
0:59:03 > 0:59:06- Hello, mate. - Got a problem?
0:59:06 > 0:59:10Yeah! Am I glad to see you. Yeah, I've, er, lost a wheel.
0:59:10 > 0:59:13- Help me get my rig back on the road, will you?- OK, let me see.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17My name's Burt, Burt Munro.
0:59:17 > 0:59:20- Jake.- Jake?- Yeah. - You Indian?- Yes.
0:59:20 > 0:59:23Well, this here could be the world's fastest Indian.
0:59:23 > 0:59:27Well, at least until just now. She's a bit heavy mind you.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29So let's take it easy. One, two, three...
0:59:29 > 0:59:30THEY BOTH GROAN
0:59:30 > 0:59:33HE GASPS Do you live round here, Jake?
0:59:47 > 0:59:49- Burt? - Huh?
0:59:49 > 0:59:52What do you wanna ride that contraption for?
0:59:52 > 0:59:54That's a good question.
0:59:54 > 1:00:00Er... I guess the reward is in the, er, doing of it, you know?
1:00:01 > 1:00:04Jake, I'm dying for a pee. Where do I go?
1:00:04 > 1:00:07That little building back there.
1:00:07 > 1:00:11- I got a touch of prostate trouble, you know?- I have similar problems.
1:00:11 > 1:00:15I thought you blokes would have some magic cure for that sort of thing.
1:00:15 > 1:00:19- Well, we have.- Yeah?- One old remedy is ground-up dog balls.
1:00:19 > 1:00:24- Oh, God!- But I prefer prostate trouble.- Yeah, I bet you do, mate.
1:00:30 > 1:00:33Jake, gotta get going. Got to hit the road.
1:00:33 > 1:00:36- Burt, I have something for you. - What's that, then?
1:00:37 > 1:00:40- What's this? - For good luck.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43Oh, yeah, piece of jewell... Never worn jewellery before.
1:00:43 > 1:00:47Thanks, mate. Oh, I got something for you too. Hang about.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51Right, er, let's see.
1:00:53 > 1:00:56Yeah... I've got this.
1:00:56 > 1:00:59- It's a spare one. I made it myself. - What do I do with this?
1:00:59 > 1:01:03- You got a hacksaw?- Yeah. - Just slice the top off of it.
1:01:03 > 1:01:07It'll make a great ashtray. Not that I approve of smoking mind you.
1:01:07 > 1:01:09- Thank you very much. - Thanks a lot, mate. So long.
1:01:09 > 1:01:13- Sorry we couldn't fix your trailer. - Oh, I'll get there somehow.- Burt?
1:01:13 > 1:01:17- What? - For the prostate.- Ah!
1:01:17 > 1:01:21Use with water, plenty of water. Tastes bad, really bad!
1:01:21 > 1:01:23Dogs' balls, huh?
1:01:23 > 1:01:26Well, thanks a lot, mate. See ya. Ta-ra!
1:01:30 > 1:01:33HONKS HORN
1:02:23 > 1:02:24HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
1:02:24 > 1:02:26Hello!
1:02:29 > 1:02:32Anyone home?
1:02:38 > 1:02:41Hello! Hello, there!
1:02:42 > 1:02:47I've had a spot of bother with my trailer. I lost a wheel.
1:02:48 > 1:02:51- You're not from around these parts. - I'm from down there.
1:02:51 > 1:02:56- What?- I'm from down under, the other side of the world. New Zealand!
1:02:56 > 1:03:00Southernmost city in the British empire, called Invercargill.
1:03:00 > 1:03:04- One of the most beautiful cities on Earth.- Hm.- Name's Burt Munro.
1:03:04 > 1:03:08- Burt, Ada. - What?- Ada!
1:03:09 > 1:03:12- Here she is. - Whoa-ho-ho...!
1:03:12 > 1:03:14SHE CHUCKLES
1:03:16 > 1:03:19We got some problems here, yes, siree.
1:03:19 > 1:03:21- Yeah. - I tell you what you need to do.
1:03:21 > 1:03:25Cannibalise the stub axle off that old Ford right there.
1:03:25 > 1:03:29- OK.- Lucky for you I got welding gear. We'll get a wheel on pronto.- Good!
1:03:38 > 1:03:41Yeah, that's got it.
1:03:41 > 1:03:45- When you've, er...finished there - - Yeah?
1:03:45 > 1:03:48I got something that I wanna show you.
1:03:48 > 1:03:52- What's that? - Ohhhhh...never you mind.
1:03:52 > 1:03:57- You just get that wheel on there right.- Yeah.
1:04:07 > 1:04:12- Why did you bring me out here? - I, er, I wanna show you this.
1:04:12 > 1:04:14- What? - Right here.
1:04:15 > 1:04:18- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
1:04:18 > 1:04:20I, er...
1:04:20 > 1:04:24I laid my old boy to rest 12 years ago next week.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27- Oh, yeah? - And I sure do miss him.
1:04:27 > 1:04:31- I sure do miss the old boy. - "He did his level best."
1:04:31 > 1:04:36- He did!- I always figured a man's like a blade of grass.
1:04:36 > 1:04:39He grows up in the spring strong and healthy and green
1:04:39 > 1:04:43and, er, and he reaches middle age and he ripens as it were
1:04:43 > 1:04:47and then, er...in the autumn he, like a blade of grass,
1:04:47 > 1:04:51he finishes, just fades away and he never comes back.
1:04:51 > 1:04:54And just like a blade of grass,
1:04:54 > 1:04:57I think when you're dead, you're dead.
1:04:57 > 1:05:00I always thought that, since I grew up.
1:05:00 > 1:05:03- Is that your philosophy?- Well, I don't know. Yeah, I suppose it is.
1:05:03 > 1:05:07When you get to my age these thoughts cross your mind sometimes, you know?
1:05:07 > 1:05:08HE CHUCKLES
1:05:08 > 1:05:09SNAKE HISSES AND RATTLES
1:05:09 > 1:05:10JUMP!
1:05:10 > 1:05:13- Agh! Agh! Agh! - Jump! Oh! Jump!
1:05:13 > 1:05:16Oh, sideways, you fool! Sideways!
1:05:16 > 1:05:19Oh, my God, man! Haven't you seen a snake before?
1:05:19 > 1:05:22- No, we don't get snakes in New Zealand.- I ought to move there!
1:05:22 > 1:05:25- Where's he going?- Damn rattlers!
1:05:25 > 1:05:29- Any more around here? Ooh, God! - Fancy this.
1:05:29 > 1:05:33You come all this way to bite the dust up at Boot Hill!
1:05:33 > 1:05:37Yeah. Been a laugh, hasn't it?
1:05:38 > 1:05:40Been a laugh...
1:05:42 > 1:05:44Oh, my God!
1:05:44 > 1:05:48- Hey, Burt? - Huh?
1:05:49 > 1:05:51Where you going to sleep tonight?
1:05:53 > 1:05:55I dunno, no idea.
1:05:55 > 1:05:56HE CHUCKLES
1:05:57 > 1:05:58I don't know.
1:06:17 > 1:06:20I had a strange dream last night.
1:06:21 > 1:06:26I dreamt about my late...twin brother.
1:06:26 > 1:06:28Ernie.
1:06:29 > 1:06:33Yeah, I thought he was in the room here, looking down on us.
1:06:34 > 1:06:39I guess it's all that, er, fun and games at the graveyard.
1:06:42 > 1:06:46I suppose... Oh, well...
1:06:46 > 1:06:49Getting old ain't for the faint of heart, I'll tell you that.
1:06:49 > 1:06:52Oh, God! What you done to my back, Ada?
1:06:52 > 1:06:55Ohhh! Ohhhh!
1:06:55 > 1:06:58I am getting old.
1:06:59 > 1:07:03Hey, come on, old girl, make me a cup of tea. I gotta hit the road.
1:07:03 > 1:07:06Ada, come on! You haven't died in your sleep, have you, old girl?
1:07:06 > 1:07:09- Make me a cup of tea! - Hmm, come here, lover boy!
1:07:09 > 1:07:12I'll make it myself, thanks.
1:07:16 > 1:07:19Now, Burt, you promise me you going to pop in on your way back.
1:07:19 > 1:07:23Because I can always use another little cuddle.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26Yeah, that's what I said. That's what I intend to do.
1:07:26 > 1:07:29There's many a good tune played on an old banjo, as they say!
1:07:29 > 1:07:32- And what we don't use, we lose. - Yeah, that's what they say.
1:07:32 > 1:07:35See ya. Ta-ra, darling.
1:07:35 > 1:07:38And, er, may you have good luck with your Indian.
1:07:38 > 1:07:41Yeah, you should say, "Break a leg".
1:07:42 > 1:07:44See ya.
1:08:02 > 1:08:06G'day. Boy, is it hot out there.
1:08:06 > 1:08:07HE GASPS
1:08:07 > 1:08:11I bet birds fly backwards here to keep dust out of their eyes.
1:08:11 > 1:08:14- What can I get ya? - I'd like a cup of tea, please.
1:08:15 > 1:08:18- Cup of tea?- Yeah. Best drink for quenching the thirst
1:08:18 > 1:08:22- when the weather's hot.- We ain't seen a cup of tea in here ever!
1:08:22 > 1:08:25We got Coors, we got Miller or Coke.
1:08:25 > 1:08:28- And whiskey. - Oh.
1:08:28 > 1:08:30Well, I'll have Coke, then.
1:08:34 > 1:08:39- You know, er, smoking's bad for you, don't you?- Is that so?
1:08:39 > 1:08:42Yeah. Personally I don't smoke and I don't drink.
1:08:42 > 1:08:46I had the right education from my dad on that. He was like King James I,
1:08:46 > 1:08:48a great anti-smoking man.
1:08:48 > 1:08:49FLY BUZZES
1:08:49 > 1:08:53- Sounds like you're on a one-man crusade there, Grandpa.- Yeah.
1:08:53 > 1:08:56You're born with one pair of lungs, so why destroy them with that muck?
1:08:56 > 1:08:59Hm. Where you from? Where's your home town?
1:08:59 > 1:09:02- You English? - Heavens, no! I'm no pommie.
1:09:02 > 1:09:06- I'm from, er, Invercargill in New Zealand.- Where?
1:09:06 > 1:09:11Invercargill. Er, I-N-V-E-R-C-A-R-G-I-L-L.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14I spell it with one L sometimes to save ink.
1:09:16 > 1:09:20- Huh...- Got any of those critters over there?
1:09:20 > 1:09:23Oh, yes. Much bigger, though. We breed them down there on big farms.
1:09:23 > 1:09:27And, er, cut off their antlers and send them over to Hong Kong.
1:09:27 > 1:09:31And they grind the antlers into dust and, er, they eat that stuff.
1:09:31 > 1:09:36Um, it must be some sort of, er, aphrodisiac or something...
1:09:36 > 1:09:40- Puts lead in your pencil!- You could do with some of that, eh, Leroy?
1:09:40 > 1:09:41ALL CHUCKLE
1:09:41 > 1:09:43Yeah, Leroy!
1:09:43 > 1:09:46- Your girlfriend? - Wife.

1:10:29 > 1:10:32Did you decide to leave Jackie a tip after all?
1:10:32 > 1:10:35BURT GRUNTS
1:10:35 > 1:10:38Look, sir, if you're not feeling well,
1:10:38 > 1:10:42- you should drop into the hospital in the next town.- Oh, right.
1:10:43 > 1:10:44Right...
1:11:19 > 1:11:22- Pull down your window. - Eh?
1:11:25 > 1:11:29- What's the problem? - You're parked illegally.
1:11:29 > 1:11:32- Oh. - You're a danger to passing traffic.
1:11:32 > 1:11:34- Am I? - Let's see your driver's licence.
1:11:34 > 1:11:37Yeah, all right.
1:11:38 > 1:11:40Here you are.
1:11:42 > 1:11:44HE MUTTERS
1:11:46 > 1:11:48- Where are you from? - I'm from New Zealand.
1:11:48 > 1:11:51That's the Land of the Long White Cloud,
1:11:51 > 1:11:56- Aotearoa, home of the Kiwi bird. - I don't care if you're from Mars,
1:11:56 > 1:11:59- you cannot stop here. - All right.
1:11:59 > 1:12:02You cannot stop on the side of this road. You're parked illegally.
1:12:02 > 1:12:06OK, well, I'm sorry. I, I was having a bit of a heart attack
1:12:06 > 1:12:09and, er, well recovering from one, anyway...
1:12:09 > 1:12:13- Yeah, well, next time how about we stop at a proper rest area? - All right.
1:12:13 > 1:12:17- My name's Burt Munro. - OK.- Sorry about that.
1:12:23 > 1:12:26- Oil's OK.- Thank you. - That's all right, sir.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29Excuse me? Hi there.
1:12:29 > 1:12:33- Hi.- Listen, I, er, I was wondering if I could catch a ride.
1:12:33 > 1:12:37My car, she just broke down and I'm trying to get to Salt Lake City.
1:12:37 > 1:12:40I'm only going as far as Wendover. That's where I'm stopping.
1:12:40 > 1:12:44- Anything'd be better than nothing. - Ain't that the truth. Hop in, mate.
1:12:44 > 1:12:46Thank you.
1:12:47 > 1:12:50I, er, I'm going to go see my girlfriend.
1:12:50 > 1:12:52She just moved from LA to Salt Lake.
1:12:52 > 1:12:55- Oh, yeah? - I'm home on leave from Nam.
1:12:55 > 1:12:58- Where?- Vietnam. - Oh, yeah.- Yeah.
1:12:58 > 1:13:01Hey, what is that you got strapped on back there?
1:13:01 > 1:13:05Ah, that, young fellow, is a...an Indian.
1:13:06 > 1:13:07Motorcycle.
1:13:07 > 1:13:10So, what are you doing in Vietnam?
1:13:10 > 1:13:13- I'm involved in Operation Ranch Hand.- What's that?
1:13:13 > 1:13:16- Farming or something? - Oh, no, not exactly.
1:13:16 > 1:13:20We just started this programme. We are spraying the jungle from the air
1:13:20 > 1:13:25with herbicides so the Viet Cong don't have any place to hide. Right?
1:13:25 > 1:13:29Agent Orange, we call this stuff. It comes in these big orange drums.
1:13:29 > 1:13:32Oh, yeah? How is it working out?
1:13:32 > 1:13:36Um... well, I'm home on two weeks' leave.
1:13:36 > 1:13:39Then I gotta get back. We should have this war done in six months.
1:13:39 > 1:13:43That's what they keep telling us. Can't wait to get my ass outta there
1:13:43 > 1:13:48- to tell you the truth.- Yeah, I remember the Great War of 1914.
1:13:48 > 1:13:52I was about your age. That's what they kept telling everyone.
1:13:53 > 1:13:55"Soon be over."
1:13:55 > 1:13:5820 million dead and four years later it was still going on.
1:13:58 > 1:14:02Not as bad as the big flu epidemic, though.
1:14:02 > 1:14:05Killed 21 million that did, or maybe more.
1:14:06 > 1:14:08Every day when I left to go to work
1:14:08 > 1:14:12my mum would spray some formalin on my shirt...
1:14:12 > 1:14:15And, er, maybe that's why I didn't catch it.
1:14:15 > 1:14:18Or maybe I was just lucky. You never know.
1:14:18 > 1:14:20HE SIGHS
1:14:20 > 1:14:22- Knock on wood. - Yeah.
1:14:24 > 1:14:26You know, life's a funny thing.
1:14:26 > 1:14:29You never know what's round the corner, do you?
1:14:29 > 1:14:32"Your shaving brush,
1:14:32 > 1:14:34"let it stay."
1:14:34 > 1:14:38BOTH: "Why not shave... the modern way."
1:14:40 > 1:14:42"Burma-Shave".
1:14:43 > 1:14:46BOTH: "If she doesn't kiss you... like she used to,
1:14:46 > 1:14:50"perhaps she's seen some smoother rooster"!
1:14:50 > 1:14:53"Burma-Shave"!
1:14:53 > 1:14:55"These signs we dedicate...
1:14:56 > 1:15:01"..to men who've had no date of late"!
1:15:01 > 1:15:03"Burma-Shave"!
1:15:03 > 1:15:06There, that's us. Or you anyway.
1:15:06 > 1:15:07HE CHUCKLES
1:15:12 > 1:15:13Look at that!
1:15:13 > 1:15:16Oh, that's a cowboy and a half!
1:15:19 > 1:15:22Thought I'd come up to the salt with you. I'd like to be there
1:15:22 > 1:15:25- the first time you see it. It's only a couple of miles.- All right, then.
1:15:25 > 1:15:29- That sounds good.- There's lot of people in town for Speed Week, huh?
1:15:29 > 1:15:31Yeah, looks like it.
1:15:32 > 1:15:36Oh, this is it, Burt. You can, er, take a left right up here.
1:15:36 > 1:15:38Here?
1:15:48 > 1:15:52I'm at Bonneville! Mate, I can't believe it!
1:15:52 > 1:15:55I mean, I'm here, I've made it!
1:15:55 > 1:15:57I've made it!
1:16:23 > 1:16:26All my life I wanted to do something big.
1:16:27 > 1:16:31Something bigger and better than all the other jokers.
1:16:31 > 1:16:33And this is it, Bonneville.
1:16:33 > 1:16:38This is the place where...big things happen.
1:16:41 > 1:16:45Do you realise, Rusty, the fastest man has ever gone on land is here?
1:16:45 > 1:16:48Right here where we are now?
1:16:49 > 1:16:51HE GASPS
1:16:51 > 1:16:54Malcolm Campbell did it here with Bluebird.

1:16:57 > 1:17:00And then later his son, Donald, was here with Proteus.
1:17:00 > 1:17:03He crashed at 350mph and lived to tell the tale.
1:17:05 > 1:17:08John Cobb was here...
1:17:08 > 1:17:11First guy to go over 400mph.
1:17:12 > 1:17:14All the great attempts...
1:17:14 > 1:17:17George Eyston with Thunderbolt
1:17:17 > 1:17:20and, er, Mickey Thompson with Challenger.
1:17:23 > 1:17:27I'm telling you, Rusty, this place is holy ground, mate.
1:17:27 > 1:17:29Holy ground...
1:17:30 > 1:17:32And I made it here.
1:18:00 > 1:18:04Well, Burt, thanks a million. I'll look for you in the record books.
1:18:04 > 1:18:08- You take care over there in Vietnam, won't you?- I'll be trying.
1:18:08 > 1:18:12- Drive safe.- Yeah. - See ya.- See ya.

1:20:27 > 1:20:29- G'day. - Hey, there.
1:20:31 > 1:20:34- Going to be a great day.- Yeah. - Still.
1:20:36 > 1:20:38- No wind. - Lovely day for a run.
1:20:40 > 1:20:43- Salt's in good shape. - Yeah. Firm and dry.
1:20:43 > 1:20:47Dead flat, no soft patches. Not like the beach.
1:20:48 > 1:20:51Yeah, I can do it here.
1:20:51 > 1:20:53Yep...this week.
1:20:53 > 1:20:57- That's what we're here for. - Yeah.
1:20:59 > 1:21:03- God, is that yours? - Yep.
1:21:03 > 1:21:08Oh, she's a beauty! I bet she goes fast.
1:21:09 > 1:21:11- That yours? - Yeah, it's an old Indian.
1:21:11 > 1:21:15My name is Munro, Burt Munro, from down under - New Zealand.
1:21:15 > 1:21:18- Long way from home.- Yeah. - Jim Moffit, San Jose, California.
1:21:18 > 1:21:21- Nice to meet you, Burt. - Good to meet you, Jim.

1:21:58 > 1:22:02- Morning!- Hello. Burt Munro. - Mike.- Hello, Mike.
1:22:02 > 1:22:05- Are you checked in? - No, not yet.
1:22:05 > 1:22:09Well, you know, you gotta remove the shell before the tech inspection.
1:22:09 > 1:22:12- Where do I check in? - Oh, it's just over there.
1:22:12 > 1:22:15- Thanks, fellas. - OK.- Thank you.
1:22:16 > 1:22:18I gotta see this.
1:22:18 > 1:22:20Hello, I've, er, come to check in.
1:22:20 > 1:22:23- Munro, Burt Munro. - Registration number?
1:22:24 > 1:22:28- What...?- Registration number! I don't see your number here.
1:22:28 > 1:22:31Oh, no, it's, er, number 35.
1:22:31 > 1:22:34It's on the side of my motorcycle over there.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37- And it's my lucky number. - Have you registered?
1:22:37 > 1:22:41No. That's what I've come for. These two blokes sent me over here -
1:22:41 > 1:22:45- Mike and someone else. - Sir, registration closed last month.
1:22:45 > 1:22:49If you haven't registered, sorry, er, you just can't run.
1:22:51 > 1:22:55I can't run? I mean, er... well, how was I supposed to know
1:22:55 > 1:22:58I should have pre-registered? I've come a heck of a long way
1:22:58 > 1:23:01to run my bike. I'm not going anywhere until I've done just that.
1:23:01 > 1:23:05I've come all the way from New Zealand, you know? It's a long way.
1:23:05 > 1:23:08- We don't make the rules.- An event like this doesn't just happen!
1:23:08 > 1:23:12- Rules are rules. Closed July 31st. - But, crikey, I live in Invercargill!
1:23:12 > 1:23:15It's halfway round the bloody Earth!
1:23:15 > 1:23:18How was I to know these things? I don't know all this stuff!
1:23:18 > 1:23:22- Sir, it's not our problem.- I thought I could turn up, have my bike timed.
1:23:22 > 1:23:25- You don't have to call me sir. My name's Munro.- Sir, you thought wrong!
1:23:34 > 1:23:37Here, Jim! Jim Moffit!
1:23:37 > 1:23:40It's Burt Munro. Can you come over here, mate?
1:23:40 > 1:23:43- Yeah, I'll be right back. - Need a bit of help.
1:23:43 > 1:23:46- Hey, Burt, what's up? - Well, I need your help.
1:23:46 > 1:23:49These blokes are telling me I can't run my bike
1:23:49 > 1:23:52- because I'm not pre-registered. - You didn't register?
1:23:52 > 1:23:56- No, I didn't know anything about it. - You know how it is, rules are rules!
1:23:56 > 1:24:00- Burt, you should have registered months ago!- I didn't know!
1:24:00 > 1:24:03I'll have a talk with them later, see if I can change their minds.
1:24:03 > 1:24:06- Blood's worth bottling. - I don't know about that.
1:24:06 > 1:24:10We can talk later. Maybe you can let him go through tech inspection,
1:24:10 > 1:24:14get that outta the way just in case we can let him run.
1:24:14 > 1:24:17You're askin' a lot.
1:24:17 > 1:24:19Am I?
1:24:22 > 1:24:25- OK.- All right! - What...?- Make me proud!
1:24:25 > 1:24:29Thanks a lot. You gave me a bit of a fright there!
1:24:29 > 1:24:31ENGINES RUMBLE
1:24:33 > 1:24:36You know, these don't look like high-speed tyres.
1:24:36 > 1:24:39- Well, they are high-speed tyres. - Look at these hairline cracks.
1:24:39 > 1:24:43These tyres gotta be 25 years old. What happened to the tread?
1:24:43 > 1:24:46- What?- I said, what happened to the tread?- Oh, I cut it off,
1:24:46 > 1:24:49cut it off with a carving knife.
1:24:49 > 1:24:52- Otherwise it wouldn't be a high-speed tyre!- What are you talking about?
1:24:52 > 1:24:56Well, you gotta keep the weight down, haven't you? Otherwise at high speed
1:24:56 > 1:25:00the centrifugal force would throw the tread right off, wouldn't it?
1:25:00 > 1:25:03That tyre's safe up to 300mph, I guarantee it.
1:25:03 > 1:25:06- These are high-speed tyres and I made 'em.- You'll have to replace them.
1:25:06 > 1:25:10The suspension is a leaf spring. I mean, can we pass that?
1:25:10 > 1:25:13Last leaf spring on a motorcycle must have been in the 1920s.
1:25:13 > 1:25:16- It is 42 years old.- These brakes are completely inadequate.
1:25:16 > 1:25:19I'm planning on going, not stopping.
1:25:19 > 1:25:22- The brakes were old-fashioned 40 years ago.- Yeah.- What...?
1:25:22 > 1:25:25- Is-Is this a hinge of a fence post?! - No, that's from an old kitchen door!
1:25:28 > 1:25:31What... Let me just ask you, what-what is this?
1:25:31 > 1:25:34It's a cork. What does it looks like? It's a cork from a brandy bottle.
1:25:34 > 1:25:37Yeah, the thing is, it's, er, it's all about weight.
1:25:37 > 1:25:40- The less weight, the faster you go. - Where's your chute?- What?
1:25:40 > 1:25:44- Where's your parachute? - Oh, I'm not planning on bailing out!
1:25:44 > 1:25:47- No, you gotta have a safety chute. - Well, I can't afford one.
1:25:47 > 1:25:50These forks, if they give out, we got ourselves a real problem!
1:25:50 > 1:25:53I think I'd have a bit of a problem that way, wouldn't I?
1:25:53 > 1:25:57- Where's your fire suit?- What? - Fire suit?- Good heavens, man!
1:25:57 > 1:26:00I don't intend to burst into flames! Always wear my old suit pants,
1:26:00 > 1:26:03er, for good luck. If they were good enough to get married in,
1:26:03 > 1:26:07they're good enough to ride this old girl in! I tuck them in like this...
1:26:07 > 1:26:11You know, stop them getting caught in the chain? And Bob's your uncle!
1:26:11 > 1:26:14- OK, so you got your suit pants. What you going to wear on top?- What?
1:26:14 > 1:26:19- What do you intend to wear on top? - Yes, a black woollen shirt -
1:26:19 > 1:26:23New Zealand wool, water resistant, fire resistant - and my bash hat.
1:26:23 > 1:26:27- Your...your bash hat? - Bash hat?- Yeah.- Crash helmet.
1:26:27 > 1:26:30You're crazy! You gotta wear at least a leather jacket on top!
1:26:30 > 1:26:33If you put down on the salt, it's like coarse sandpaper.
1:26:33 > 1:26:36- It's going to rub your head right off!- I couldn't get into the shell
1:26:36 > 1:26:39with anything bulkier than my shirt. I mean, it's a tight fit in there.
1:26:39 > 1:26:44- Straight out of the ark!- What did you say?- Straight out of the ark!
1:26:44 > 1:26:45Don't be so cheeky!
1:26:45 > 1:26:47MAN CHUCKLES What's your name, young man?
1:26:47 > 1:26:51- MacFarlane, Mike MacFarlane. - Yeah, I knew a MacFarlane in Timaru.
1:26:51 > 1:26:54You must be related to him cos he was a total prick!
1:26:54 > 1:26:58Look, you don't even have a fire extinguisher installed!
1:26:58 > 1:27:01MacFarlane used to give me milking machine parts to make sprockets with.
1:27:01 > 1:27:04- Just, um, how old are you? - I don't know, he's about 35 -
1:27:04 > 1:27:08- No, no, how old are you? - His brother owned a general store
1:27:08 > 1:27:11down at a place called Bulls. That's a town in New Zealand.
1:27:11 > 1:27:14- Sir, your machine is not safe. - I've been doing this for 43 years
1:27:14 > 1:27:17- and I'm still here to tell the tale. - Well, you know, times change.
1:27:17 > 1:27:21- We take planes, we don't ride horseback.- Horsepower -- Horseback.
1:27:21 > 1:27:24- Horseback, yeah, I got you, yeah. - You're too old.
1:27:24 > 1:27:28I may have saggy skin on the outside but inside I'm still 18 years old.
1:27:28 > 1:27:31And I'd give you a run for your money, young fella!
1:27:31 > 1:27:34- You need some help? - Oh, hello.
1:27:34 > 1:27:37Rolly Free, Marty Dickerson, we're a couple of bike fans.
1:27:37 > 1:27:41- Oh, Burt Munro from Kiwiland. - Pleasure, Burt.
1:27:42 > 1:27:45- THEY BOTH LAUGH - You got me good there!
1:27:45 > 1:27:48- Where are you staying?- Well, that's my salubrious accommodation.
1:27:48 > 1:27:52- I usually sleep at night on the - back seat. Salubrious, you say, Munro?
1:27:52 > 1:27:55We been hearing a lot about you.
1:27:55 > 1:27:58Sounds like you're cutting your finances mighty fine.
1:27:58 > 1:28:01- You can say that again. - We're up at the Western Ridge.
1:28:01 > 1:28:04Why don't you drive by? It looks as though you could use a good shower.
1:28:04 > 1:28:08- And I bet that there's a spare bed there, too.- Thanks a lot.
1:28:08 > 1:28:11- You Yanks are classic, you know that? - You don't catch me that easily!
1:28:11 > 1:28:14SPLASHING
1:28:17 > 1:28:20- Hey, Burt! - Hello.
1:28:21 > 1:28:24The front forks could go at any time,
1:28:24 > 1:28:26the suspension is right outta the 1920s.
1:28:26 > 1:28:29He got hairline cracks all over his tyres.
1:28:29 > 1:28:32- He's got no fire extinguisher, no safety chute...- I told you,
1:28:32 > 1:28:35if it's a time problem, I'll give you some of my time.
1:28:35 > 1:28:39- It's not a time problem, it's a bike problem!- We ought to let him run.
1:28:39 > 1:28:44- He came from New Zealand to do this! - Have you looked at his machine?
1:28:44 > 1:28:48- The man's the genuine article. - The bike is a genuine dinosaur!
1:28:48 > 1:28:51Look, we carry the can for the decisions around here.
1:28:51 > 1:28:56If the old fart kills himself, we'll have a helluva lot of trouble on our hands!
1:28:56 > 1:29:00Yeah, sounds like we're a bunch of chickens if you want my opinion.
1:29:00 > 1:29:05His bike didn't even come close to passing tech inspection, Jim!
1:29:13 > 1:29:15- KNOCK AT DOOR - Burt.
1:29:15 > 1:29:17Hello, Jim, come in.
1:29:17 > 1:29:21- Rolly Free said I could find you here.- Yeah. He's the best.
1:29:21 > 1:29:24He's a real gentlemen. He set me up in this place for nothing.
1:29:27 > 1:29:31- What are you doing?- Well, the soft shoe polish fills in the cracks,
1:29:31 > 1:29:34makes the tyres look spick and span, good as new.
1:29:34 > 1:29:38- Cheaper than new ones anyway. - I didn't see that.
1:29:40 > 1:29:43Well...? Can I run?
1:29:45 > 1:29:47I'm sorry, Burt.
1:29:51 > 1:29:55Ohhhh... Who the heck do they think they are?
1:29:56 > 1:30:00Crikey, Jim, I'm, you know, I'm not trying to run a mile in four minutes.
1:30:00 > 1:30:03All I gotta do is sit there and open up the throttle...
1:30:03 > 1:30:06I mean, after all, it's my ruddy life, isn't it?
1:30:06 > 1:30:10I mean, can't you do anything? I mean, er, I just want to
1:30:10 > 1:30:13try and get it to go over 200. Just once, that's all.
1:30:13 > 1:30:16Once I've cracked 200, I'll be happy to piss off back to New Zealand
1:30:16 > 1:30:19and Bob's your uncle. You're a well-respected man round here.
1:30:19 > 1:30:23- Couldn't you talk to them? - I tried.
1:30:24 > 1:30:27You've got as much chance of writing yourself off as I, you know that.
1:30:27 > 1:30:32Just talk to them again. I know they'll listen to you, mate.
1:30:35 > 1:30:38- OK, Burt, I'll try. See ya tomorrow. - OK.
1:30:38 > 1:30:40Agh!
1:30:40 > 1:30:41HE WINCES
1:30:41 > 1:30:46I mean, I'm half the age of some of those characters out there.

1:30:50 > 1:30:52What's that?
1:30:52 > 1:30:54That's just indigestion.
1:31:00 > 1:31:04Everyone wants us old buggers to curl up in some quiet corner and die.
1:31:04 > 1:31:09Well, Burt Munro is not ready to finish yet, I'll tell ya that, mate.
1:31:12 > 1:31:14I'll give it a shot but I'm not promising anything.
1:31:14 > 1:31:17Thanks, mate. Thanks a lot.

1:31:37 > 1:31:40- He says he did. - Then, what's he doing here?
1:31:40 > 1:31:44- Why won't ya let him run?- Hey, he's too old. And his bike's too old.
1:31:44 > 1:31:47From what I hear he's come halfway round the world to ride that cycle.
1:31:47 > 1:31:52- Come on!- Wendy, if he was to kill himself.- So? It's his life!
1:31:52 > 1:31:55- Keep an eye out for those officials. - Are you sure you wanna do this?
1:31:55 > 1:31:59- I don't think it's a good idea.- If we're going to do this damn thing,
1:31:59 > 1:32:03- we gotta hurry.- All right, let's go. Here's your helmet.
1:32:03 > 1:32:06Here's your goggles. Come on, Burt, we gotta go.
1:32:06 > 1:32:09- Yeah, right. - Put 'em on, put 'em on, put 'em on!

1:32:47 > 1:32:51Didn't look like you were warming it up! He was takin' it for a run!
1:32:51 > 1:32:53Bob. Oh, boy!
1:32:55 > 1:32:58- That is the most determined man I've ever seen in my life!- Yeah!

1:33:03 > 1:33:05Coming all this way, huh?
1:33:05 > 1:33:08Isn't there a way we can accommodate him? There can't be much risk there.
1:33:08 > 1:33:11His bike'd be lucky if it did 70!
1:33:12 > 1:33:15What do you say, why don't we bend the rules this once, huh?
1:33:17 > 1:33:20- Jesus!- Burt! - Yeah?
1:33:22 > 1:33:23Bob and I had a little chat
1:33:23 > 1:33:27and we're thinking we're going to organise a handling run for ya.
1:33:27 > 1:33:31- Yeah? What?- A handling run. All the officials,
1:33:31 > 1:33:34- we're going to get in our vehicles...- You're joking, no? - No, I'm not.
1:33:34 > 1:33:37We're going to follow behind ya and see if you're OK to ride this beast.
1:33:37 > 1:33:41- Course I'm OK to ride it!- First thing tomorrow, bright and early.
1:33:43 > 1:33:47- Well, thanks, fellas.- Knock 'em dead. - Oh, my luck's changed, then.
1:33:47 > 1:33:50- Go get 'em, guys. - All right?
1:33:50 > 1:33:54- You all right?- Yeah! - Don't hurt yourself!
1:34:04 > 1:34:08OK, everyone listen up! This is what we're going to do.
1:34:08 > 1:34:11- Burt, you're going to get rolling. - Right.- Ride slowly along.
1:34:11 > 1:34:15- We'll jump in our vehicles, follow you down the track.- All right.
1:34:15 > 1:34:18- See if you can handle this thing. - I'll handle her all right!- Got that?
1:34:18 > 1:34:20- Yeah.- OK.- I got room for one.
1:34:20 > 1:34:22- CHATTER - Let's get in the cars.
1:34:44 > 1:34:46- Hope he doesn't make a fool of himself.- Yeah.

1:34:54 > 1:34:55Let's go!

1:35:24 > 1:35:2860... 65, 70.
1:35:30 > 1:35:32- Attaboy, Burt! - 75!
1:35:32 > 1:35:35There he goes up to 80! 80, 85...
1:35:39 > 1:35:4090.

1:36:00 > 1:36:03- Holy smoke! - He's leaving 'em behind!
1:36:03 > 1:36:07What the hell is he up to? Nobody said he could give it everything.
1:36:07 > 1:36:10- I guess that solves the question of whether he can handle it.- Doin' 95
1:36:10 > 1:36:14- and he left us in the dust!- Whooo! Look at him go!- ATTABOY, BURT!
1:36:39 > 1:36:42ENGINE RUMBLES AND BOOMS
1:36:52 > 1:36:56All right, grab hold of her! Hold her firm. Got it?
1:36:56 > 1:36:58Don't let her go.
1:36:58 > 1:37:01- Ah, that was a disaster! - Hey, Burt!- Huh?
1:37:01 > 1:37:04- How'd it go? - Not good.
1:37:07 > 1:37:11- So, what's the verdict?- When you opened up there in top gear,
1:37:11 > 1:37:15- you sure left us in the dust. - I couldn't get it out of second gear.
1:37:15 > 1:37:18And the plugs were oiling up so I had to feed it some more juice,
1:37:18 > 1:37:22- you know, up the revs a little.- We'll see if you're telling us the truth.
1:37:24 > 1:37:27Are you telling me I can officially run my bike and have it timed?
1:37:27 > 1:37:30That's what I'm sayin', Burt.
1:37:31 > 1:37:34You'll never know what this means to me.
1:37:34 > 1:37:3725 years I've dreamed of this day, 25 years!
1:37:37 > 1:37:41Sometimes you gotta bend the rules a little. Today's one of those days.
1:37:41 > 1:37:44Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
1:37:44 > 1:37:48- Hey, Burt! Burt! - What?
1:37:50 > 1:37:52- Oh.- Look, what did they say? - What happened?
1:37:54 > 1:37:57- They said I could run. - That's great!
1:37:57 > 1:38:00- Yeah. - So why the long face, then?
1:38:00 > 1:38:04Well, it's just starting to sink in and I got a big problem.
1:38:04 > 1:38:07As soon as I go over 110, it starts to wobble like heck -
1:38:07 > 1:38:11- and a bad speed wobble.- Bike did look about as stable as my ex-wife!
1:38:11 > 1:38:14Yeah...
1:38:14 > 1:38:16I got a theory and I think I'm right.
1:38:16 > 1:38:20- I need about 20 car batteries. - 20?- Yeah.
1:38:20 > 1:38:24- Do you think it's OK to steal these batteries, Burt?- We're not stealing,
1:38:24 > 1:38:27- we're souveniring!- Be careful with that acid right there.
1:38:27 > 1:38:31- Right, what do we do with them now? - We gotta get a painter's blowtorch.
1:38:31 > 1:38:34Painter's blowtorch?
1:38:35 > 1:38:39- What are we going to do with all this metal, Burt? - When this cools down,
1:38:39 > 1:38:43we'll have ourselves a lead brick.
1:38:43 > 1:38:45What do you do with a lead brick?
1:38:45 > 1:38:50- Place it in the front of the motorcycle.- That's your plan?- Yeah.
1:38:51 > 1:38:55Well, you must get the centre of pressure behind the centre of gravity
1:38:55 > 1:38:58and if you don't get it right, then, she'll start to fishtail
1:38:58 > 1:39:01- as soon as you get her wound up. - What do you mean by fishtail?
1:39:01 > 1:39:05Well, like a fish's behind, you know, it'll start doing that.
1:39:05 > 1:39:08That's what happened today in the handling run. So in a panic
1:39:08 > 1:39:12I lifted my head up from behind the, er, screen and suddenly
1:39:12 > 1:39:15the bike started to go straight. And I knew somehow
1:39:15 > 1:39:19that I'd solved the problem by sticking my head up into the wind.
1:39:19 > 1:39:22- I don't get it.- Me neither. - Well, I'll show you.
1:39:22 > 1:39:24- Let me have that. - Hey, hey, hey, hey! Gimme...!
1:39:24 > 1:39:28- What are you doing?! - Now, imagine this cigar is, er,
1:39:28 > 1:39:32- our streamliner. - Well, don't poke holes in the cigar!
1:39:32 > 1:39:35Now, if I hold it in the middle and blow on it, like so...
1:39:36 > 1:39:39See how unstable it is!
1:39:39 > 1:39:42- Now, if I...shift the... - Not again...!
1:39:42 > 1:39:45..centre of pressure here and blow on it...
1:39:50 > 1:39:52You see, it's much more stable.
1:39:52 > 1:39:56The centre of pressure is behind the centre of gravity.
1:39:56 > 1:40:00- That's what I'm fixing with the lead brick.- You're quite clever, Burt,
1:40:00 > 1:40:03- you know that?- Now, all I need to do is to test my theory
1:40:03 > 1:40:06before I run on the salt. I was thinking of crossing over
1:40:06 > 1:40:10the state line from here in Utah into Nevada, where there's no speed limit!
1:40:10 > 1:40:13And, er, running the bike with a lead brick in the front of it.

1:41:04 > 1:41:09Yeah, about, er...150, 160mph.
1:41:10 > 1:41:13- Yeah. - Yeah, that sounds about right.
1:41:13 > 1:41:16How's he going to talk his way outta this one?
1:41:16 > 1:41:20He's sure got his ass in a sling this time, don't he?
1:41:20 > 1:41:24So, what's the situation with this? You don't have licence plates on it.
1:41:24 > 1:41:27- Well, it's registered in New Zealand. - New Zealand?- Yeah.
1:41:27 > 1:41:30It's where I come from.
1:41:32 > 1:41:36Right. You mean to tell me that this contraption of yours
1:41:36 > 1:41:39- is registered for the road? - Yeah, in New Zealand.
1:41:39 > 1:41:44New Zealand, right. Well, how about takin' it easy here in Nevada?
1:41:44 > 1:41:48Having no speed limit don't mean we want people killin' themselves.
1:41:48 > 1:41:51Right. Sounds fair enough to me.
1:41:51 > 1:41:54- All right, you have a good day. - I will, thank you.- You bet.
1:41:54 > 1:41:56Burt, everything OK?
1:41:56 > 1:41:59Well, fellas, er,
1:41:59 > 1:42:02we're going to have to give the lead brick the old Spanish archer.
1:42:02 > 1:42:06- Spanish archer? - Yeah, the big elbow, you know?
1:42:06 > 1:42:10The lead brick has gotta go. Whose stupid idea was that anyway?!
1:42:10 > 1:42:14- It was yours!- Yeah... Well, I'm just going to have to,
1:42:14 > 1:42:18- er, ride her the way she is. - What about that speed wobble?
1:42:18 > 1:42:22Well, I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
1:42:22 > 1:42:26- I've got another problem, too.- Yeah, what now?- When I get her going,
1:42:26 > 1:42:30er, there's an enormous amount of heat coming off the exhaust pipe.
1:42:30 > 1:42:34And I hope it doesn't cook my leg.
1:42:34 > 1:42:35BURT CHUCKLES
1:42:35 > 1:42:38Maybe you could wrap your leg in some, er, asbestos cloth.
1:42:38 > 1:42:40- That should fix it, shouldn't it? - Yeah, good idea.
1:42:40 > 1:42:44So, you got any more problems you wanna tell us about? Oh, yes!
1:42:44 > 1:42:47- It's my old ticker. - You got a bad heart?!
1:42:47 > 1:42:49Yeah, it's not that bad!

1:42:51 > 1:42:54- Hey, Burt?- Yeah? - I got a little surprise for you!
1:42:54 > 1:42:57- What?- Close your eyes and give me your hand.
1:42:57 > 1:43:00- What?- Just close your eyes! Come on.- What for?
1:43:00 > 1:43:03Because I said so, mister, come on!

1:43:52 > 1:43:56nobody has ever travelled as far as you have to be here for Speed Week.
