One Good Run: The Legend of Burt Munro Paperback - 2007

by Tim Hanna

Here is the amazing story of Kiwi motorcycling legend, backyard engineering genius, and land speed record holder Burt Munro. Munro was the archetypal eccentric inventor. He took an original Indian motorbike and modified it in his shed so it became capable of extreme speeds. From small town New Zealand in the 1920s to heroic accomplishments in the USA, Munro was still inventing up until his death in 1978. This is very much a "little guy beats the odds" story-Munro still holds several records in the US-as a mark of respect, the category he raced in was "frozen" for all time. The publication of the book has been timed to coincided with the movie The World's Fastest Indian, directed by Roger Donaldson and starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, scheduled for release October 2005.


From the publisher

"One Good Run" is the amazing story of Kiwi motorcycling legend, backyard engineering genius, and land speed record holder Burt Munro. He broke several international speed records with a motorbike he modified in his Christchurch shed and still holds several records in the US. Now a motion picture called" The World's Fastest Indian" and with Sir Anthony Hopkins playing Burt, this true-life, little guy beats the odds story is bound to renew interest in one of the legends of land speed racing.

First line

I must first commend George Begg's earlier book Burt Munro - Indian Legend of Speed.
