Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm hanging out to get my TB2. I actually have to wait until I move to NZ in 2010 before I can get my hands on it.

I am sure there are other great legends from NZ but how many did what Burt Munro did with the limited resources that he had. A lot of his stuff was made by hand with very little machines pistons, rods, heads cylinders and so on. He made his connecting rods by hand as he said carved them with not much more then a grinder. Forged his own pistons in a LITTLE one room shop that was all so his house. He worked like 10 years or more every day 10 to 12 hours a day on his old Indian. I am sorry he did take half a day off for Christmas.LOL If he would of had a machine shop no telling what he could have done. This guy was totally amazing and to this day holds the record in his class. He died in 1978.
