Yes, the Samba represents all of the people/personalities, hurdles, and challenges Burt Munro had to overcome to achieve his dream.

The movie is THE FASTEST INDIAN, with Anthony Hopkins. It is about a 67 year old guy with a 1920s Indian bike in the 1950's, who lives in New Zealand and how it makes it to the U.S. and with no money and the backyard junk he uses to make the bike perform and break the land speed record.
You guys will love it. |

This past summer I loaned my GoPro to a friend going to Bonneville with his 69 Triumph. He's 60-something and set a new record at 191mph. If it doesn't have a spark plug he couldn't be bothered with it, so he asked me to edit the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5bYASDn_og
