Synopsis
"All Burt Munro wanted was one perfect run on his highly modified Indian Scout Motorcycle- to see how fast it would really go. In a tiny home workshop in New Zealand, with the barest of tools, but a native engineering genius, he constantly rebuilt and modified a unique speed machine, bought brand newi n 1920 for $50. After running out of challenges at home and already aged in his sixties, Burt took his 'Munro Special' to the famous Bonneville salt flats in Utah where he became a legend."day. The life story of Burt Munro is one of triumph over limitation, achievement against all odds. Brave, funny, gritty and brilliant, he was quite literally one of the original speed freaks, whose exploits have now inspired the hit movie The World's Fastest Indian starring Sir Anthony Hopkins.

After seeing the Movie “The World’s Fastest Indian” I wanted to learn more about this fascinating man. “One Good Run” is funny, heart-warming, and inspirational. I had a hard time putting it down. If there is a little bit of gear head in you I am sure you will enjoy this book. This is a book I will read many times over.
