I recently read the book
One Good Run
and then saw the film based on the same man
World's Fastest Indian

There are references in the book to Healeys running at Bonneville.
This is the true story of an amazing New Zealander who set world speed 
records in 1960's on a 1920 Indian modified in his one room house/workshop.
Anthony Hopkins plays the major role

Keith Turk this is a must for you with stories on Breedlove and the 
Arfons brothers.
At school I had the Hot Rod magazine with The Spirit of America cover.

If you ever rode a bike you must see this one
Head down and full twist the grip.
Joe
