Default The World's Fastest Indian

Anthony Hopkins has been making the rounds on the late night shows with this movies, it sounds like an amazing story, anyone hear about it? or see it yet?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412080/

In `60s New Zealand, at the bottom of the world, Burt Munro takes a 1920 Indian motorcycle and, delightfully without resources other than his own obsession and a Kiwi #8 wire mentality, spends his retirement rebuilding the bike and following his dream to go to Speed Week at Salt Lake in Utah. Under funded, without the support of a team and against all the odds he not only makes it to Bonneville, he sets a world land spend record, not once, but again and again.
