I thought this thing was cool , 1956 sunbeamJan Janowski said:In the 60's, during my "English Phase", I kick started a Velocette Thruxton without advancing the spark. It did a number on my ankle as it threw me high into the air, and when I could walk again (In about a week) the first ride I took was to trade it in on a Triumph.
I wish I had either bike right now!!!
Great movie, have watched it at least 5 times. Dont skip over the specials , theres actual footage of Burt in there . You will see where Hopkins or the screenwriter got alot of the feel for Burt correct.hunnus2000 said:I LOVE the look of the Indian! I'm going to own one someday.

Great 'feel-good' movie!
Just imagine pulling up to bike night on that!Aero98 said:I thought this thing was cool , 1956 sunbeamJan Janowski said:In the 60's, during my "English Phase", I kick started a Velocette Thruxton without advancing the spark.
