Registration list

See it, see it?!

Departure day!

The flight to America tonight.  I'm so excited, and proud of you Dad. Go beat those Belgians and put Falkirk in ink.

Some Burt Munro-isms to mark the day:

"You live more in five minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime."

"If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go, you'll find you've gone. "

Warren: "These brakes, they're completely inadequate." 
Burt Munro: "I'm planning on going, not stopping."

Antarctic Angel: "Good luck, mate. Show 'em Kiwis can fly too, eh?"

We love you.

THE Racing Suit

A winner through and through.

Boxed up and ready to ship

Dad says the bike ships on the 15th of June.  I imagine the guy Dad bought this bike from all those years ago would be rather surprised to hear this 75 year old bike is to race on the Bonneville Salt Flats this year.

Burt's Win

I think this photo is of Burt holding the winnings of that race.  I recall this scene featured in The Fastest Indian.  Every one chipped in and surprised him.

Email from Woody to Dad: 7 May 2014

I was looking for some MC pix and ran across the ***old
*Triumph of my  friend Davy Jones. Same thing only
different! :-D

The double ran this weekend at a local event and will be at
Bonneville  this year!

See ya there!
