New photos of Burt

I found a new website that celebrates cool photography, airplanes, celebs, motorbikes, race cars, etc.. Silidrome.com very cool stuff, not much info, but cool photos
I posted last November... wire wheels, not that common
... notice the banner hanging from the handlebar, it says US Tires
there is a lot about their story, so late in life the youngest kid's wife and daughter put together a book. The boys were raised by their dad, and somehow got hooked on being exploited for cash prizes, ala the cross country ride, drive, or whatever - craze that newspapers were using to sell papers... beginning at age 5 and 9. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0966216601/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=giftbasketsfr03-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0966216601&adid=1DDBRAT23E67XAH6S6N3&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanishedamericana.com%2Fkids%2Fmore-information-on-the-abernathy-kids%2F
So what is the name about? A silodrome is the "Wall of Death" like the one that Fearless Elbert and his Racing Lion rode on... and that was one of his first posts... he has a lot of cool stuff I've posted years ago, like Elbert and the lion, Burt Munro, the Fonz, old race cars, old motorcycles, and so on... so much cool stuff, that the above is just a glimpse at the ones I liked the most when browsing through http://silodrome.com/ enjoy!
I learned months late that one of Burt's land speed record Indian bikes was at the NHRA museum, and galleries of photos are up around the internet
Recorded at the 2011 Grass Valley Airfest
Notice that the nose of the fairing is open, and in the Bonneville photos and film, there is no opening on the fairing of the bike Burt is racing. Some forums point out that Burt had more than one, and it may be that he had one that he kept in America for racing at Bonneville and didn't keep shipping it back to Invercargill

Looks like Anthony Hopkins on the movie set for "World's Fastest Indian"
The license plate is close, but not the one on Burt's trailer http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/burts-trailer-simple-and-effective.html , and the tall guy is wearing new sneakers, nothing looked like those in the 60's, and Burt was skinnyfound on http://ihatemotorcycles.tumblr.com/
New photos of Burt Munro and his first time at Bonneville have been found
above and below are the images that show Burt having just been given the sack of money that everybody donated to (love the comraderie of racers) that was a scene in World's Fastest Indian and the above moment was captured by another camera http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/they-passed-hat-for-burt-just-like.html .bmp)
