· The World’s Fastest Indian · by Roger Donaldson ☼ online event

New Zealander Burt Munro spends 25 years improving his 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle, including installing an engine he designed himself. Concerns about his heart disease lead him to attempt one last quest: to take the motorcycle to the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fast it will go. Getting his vehicle there is a complicated process, both for physical challenges and customs regulations. While many people he meets along the way regard his venture as folly, his plain and friendly manner tends to overcome any resistance. But once he’s in Bonneville, will the authorities allow a 68-year-old driver on a motorcycle with none of the usual safety equipment to go full throttle on the salt flats?
