A tale of Kiwi motorcycling icon Burt Munro, known for his backyard engineering skills and land speed records.

The narrative centers around John Britten, a celebrated New Zealand figure renowned for his innovative spirit and engineering prowess. Alongside his dedicated team, he designed the Britten V-twin motorcycle, a groundbreaking machine that became one of the fastest four-stroke bikes globally. Known for its remarkable performance, the motorcycle could execute a wheel stand at an astonishing 150 miles per hour with just a throttle twist. Britten's legacy endures despite his untimely passing from cancer in 1995.

Každý o Burtovi říkal, že je to blázen – blázen do motorek, blázen do úprav a hlavně blázen do rychlosti – byl to jeden z prvních opravdových báječných mužů na rychlých strojích.
