Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Old Indians never die...

Awesome bikes. I loved the film The Fastest Indian with Anthony Hopkins.

Red, as an Indian driver, I love this movie, too.

Here is the real Burt, anyone who knows the Hopkins film will see how well it captured reality.:

Jens ... love the old Indian vid ... good to see it 'oily-ragged' rather than 'over-restored' (a slight tendency for our cousins across the pond .. granted it's not the worst national trait a country could have! 😁) .... Indians were always the sporty option over Harley in the same way Bentley was the sporty brother to Rolls. Always been an early Harley man myself (before they grew huge (or huge-er perhaps) .... Mrs Image loved her old Big Chief.

Thanks for posting.... will watch the Burt one later.

They just don't make any Burt's anymore.

I think Guy Martin is as close as we'll get today

Brilliant film.
The bike can be seen at E Hayes & Sons Hardware Store at Invercargill, if you happen to be passing!

Yep ... some nice bikes spread about that hardware store .... was there just before the plague ... there's a cracking motorcycle museum just round thw corner with a couple of old Morgan 3 wheelers amongst the exhibits (also includes more Brough Superiors than you can shake a stick at) .... spent a couple of days there on the way to Stewart Island.

Couple of very desirable old Harleys in the same shop .... K model flathead Sportster and an XR 750 flat-tracker ... wouldn't say no to either of them!🙂
