This is a simple slow movie but inspirational, about a unlikely old guy (Anthony Hopkins) who set a land speed record in the 60's for a 1000 cc motorcycle.
He set new records for several years, and the one in 1967 is still standing.
he was from new zealand and had no money, he had to work his way over on a boat, and borrow money to ship his bike, which he custom built in his shed.
