At the end of New Zealand.
Bluff.
Great for oysters, not particular great for bikes that day as we had to deal with gale-force Sou'westerlys.
The REAL worlds fastest Indian Motorcycle.
The genuine record-breaking bike - No.# 35 Indian Scout
Can be found in the Hammer Hardware shop in Invercargill.
Small collection of Motorcycles of various ages are scattered amongst the chainsaws, paint tins and garden accessories.
One of five replicas made for the filming of the movie 'The words fastest Indian'. This one was used in the filming at the 'Bonneville Salt Flats'.
The five bike shells were manufactured in Christchurch.
Two were powered by Indian engines, which were used for the NZ part of the filming.
Two more were powered by Ducati 750cc and used in the American part of filming.
The remaining one was constructed without an engine for the Sir Anthony Hopkins to use in the movie scenes.
Just after Steve rode up to the top of Baldwin Street in Dunedin.
He managed to turn his B-King around without any incident and came back down ;)
