Interesting stuff. If you've not watched it already try and find time to watch 'The Worlds Fastest Indian'. Is an awesome film set a long time ago in a galaxy far far away starring Anthony Hopkins as the crazy old Kiwi who everyone loves.

In what bit he gets pulled while 'testing his indian on public roads and coolly explains that he was testing for the salt flats and he probably doing around 150mph.

The trailer above really doesn't do it justice!

I don't know if that's a question, but if it is I'll tell you.

It's the bit where he gets a bunch of car batteries and he melts them down to use as a weight in the front end to stop his high speed wobble.

He tries his bike out in a nearby state where there's no speed limit and ends up getting caught while sitting at the side of the road.

The policeman is like "there's no licence plate etc but whatever man good luck".

He decides the lead battery brick doesn't work and chucks that idea.
