Disjointed Digression

This weekend my parents came to visit. We had a good time. Since my father is a motorcycle nut, he wanted to go see The World’s Fastest Indian. Of course the movie was not playing in Beaumont yet, but was playing here in Austin.
The World’s Fastest Indian is the story of Burt Munro of Invergargill New Zeland and his first trip to the Bonneville salt flats in Utah. Burt took his modified 1920 Indian motorcycle to Bonneville, to try to break the speed record. Oh yeah, Burt was in his early 60′s when he went to break the record.
Going into the movie, I didn’t know anything about Burt Munro, or his trip to Bonneville on his heavily modified 1920 Indian motorcycle.
I don’t want to give away much about the movie. What I will say is that this movie is a very good movie. The story is great, and well acted. This was a movie that I would not have picked to go see, but I am very glad I went to see it! I highly recommend catching it when you can.
