does anyone have any interesting facts and figures about burt munro, his indian and the actual top speed of this thing as it's a little sketchy what a few different places are saying? I'm looking for the spec of the bike as it was from the factory doors (weight, engine cc, top speed etc) and I want to find a list of all the modifications done to the bike and the engine (internal and external) then I'm going to have a tshirt made up with a list the original spec down one side and the modified bike down the other with the landspeed record that still stands today.

so far I have this but need more (especially on the stock indian setup specs):

If anyone wants the photoshop file and the illustrator file your welcome to it.

not sure..... you could try and find the original documentary from the 70's (what spawned the recent hollywood movie). Otherwise they just released his life story, I've been meaning to get it myself:
