Burt Munro took a 1920 Indian Scout and spent decades turning it into a land-speed rocket. In 1967, at age 68, he set a record at Bonneville, hitting 183.59 mph in the under-1000cc class—a mark that still stands. A self-taught mechanic, he modified the bike himself, pushing the limits with homemade parts and relentless determination. His story became The World’s Fastest Indian, a testament to ingenuity, perseverance, and the pursuit of speed. #motorsports | Truck Stop Chic
