<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Invercargill, at the far southern end of New Zealand. It's the late 1960s and two blokes sit in a modest shed drinking tea. The old bloke is telling stories about his life; the young bloke, a junior reporter, is typing earnestly on his Olympia portable typewriter. Dramatic tales abound--of youthful scrapes, motorcycle races, and ingenious repairs, of international travel and friendships and road trips, of high speeds and accidents and meetings with dutiful policemen. Burt Munro became known around the world through the 2005 movie <i>The World's Fastest Indian</i>, but had long been known to motorcycle fans as a colorful character and speed record-holder. Our young journalist, Neill Birss, moved away from Invercargill and the interviews he had typed out were never published. In fact, they only resurfaced under strange circumstances many decades later. Here, Munro's voice is as fresh and his stories as vivid as the day he told them to the young reporter.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Neill Birss</b> is a business and technology reporter.
