I put this one away for a very long time. But not because it was bad but because it is a long movie. And a great one.
It is about a New Zealand an old man in his seventies who is obssesed with speed. He rebuilt an old motorcycle Indian in his own garage. He took it on many test rides and wanted to test it on real track in Arizona desert.
The movie shows us how a simple man with a dream can do it. He traveled on his own to the USA and somehow made it to the Arizona. He had many problems along the road and even some good moments. When he got to the Arizona he found out that he should register few months earlier. And not just that but also that his motorcycle doesn't meet the strict criteria of the speed racing.
However he managed to persuade the organizers to let him run. And how he did it.
He pulled more them 200 mph from his under 1000 ccm engine. His record still stands.
When he returned to the homeland he became local hero and joined many races during later years.
