Really enjoyed it

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2005)

This is much more than a bike film. Its about a guys journey to achieve something, basically leaving ones mark on this planet. An entertaining film with humor and a lot of detail in terms of the original setting worked through. Which as an ex neighbor of the old codger received some scrutiny. There is much more to Burts life than shown on the film but the essence is there and a flavor of the guys skill is seen in the casting of his own pistons. The film crafts in nicely the guys passion and determination which is what the films about. As a consequence the film is very appealing to a wide audience. My 90 year old aunt was rapt with it... as well as the grand children. The film stays away from sleaze and smut and excessive stunts. The fact is Burt had many pile ups in his life and there could have been a number shown, but that wasn't the main story. The film is a story of working towards ones goals and ultimately achieving them. This journey should be appealing to all ages because we all need goals in our own lives. I would highly recommend it as being suitable family viewing.
