“Is there anything else I can help you with Mr. Munro?” little Thomas said. “No Thomas, there is nothing else you can help with.” Mr. Munro said. “But you don’t have to call me Mr. Munroe, you can call me Burt.” “Okay Mr. Munroe, sorry Burt I mean” Thomas answered. “But you can tell me the story again.” “Okay little Thomas, sit down and relax.”
It was in 1926 I started the modifications on the Indian. It started out with doing only 55 mph and wasn’t really sporty or aerodynamic so there was enough to deal with. So in 1962, after I have modified the bike for over 35 years, it was time. I could finally afford the trip to Bonneville Speed Week in USA, it’s a very long trip from New Zealand so it was around 10.000$ I should pay. But I got the money from my pension fund and bought the ticket to the boat. But it wasn’t enough for the whole trip, so I worked in the kitchen the way over the sea. It was over a month on sea, but it was worth it. The bike had been packed in a box, and when I should pick it up at the harbor the box had been under a ton of other things, so the box was broken. But the bike was okay, so I bought a car and borrowed a garage to make a trailer for my bike. When the trailer was finished the road trip began.
