Yeah, I took my 1920's Indian motorbike there in 1967...no, I'm getting myself mixed up again with Burt Munro :dearme:

That's pretty much why I want to go - it looks epic.

-'Er Burt. Looks like you've got a flat fella'

-'Only at the bottom' - Burt walks into bank laughing.

Really good film, and if anyone does stuff well it's the yanks. It's my 40'th next year and my lovely Ang has decided that it's the Salt flats for me. Wondering if anyone has had the opportunity before.

That comes with advanced age Mark. I should know.

I had a curry in Borrowash a few years ago and I can tell you that was the worlds fastest indian. I barely had time to get home. :sad2:
