I watched this greatest ever motorcycle series and thought they only put a few lame bikes in the mix.

The Britten is in my Top 3 for sure. The guy was doing amazing stuff.

If you havent seen they story: One Man's Dream is out there on DVD, and there is an old episode of Top Gear with a great feature on the Britten -- a long time ago. The more serious Top Gear days, although the current Top Gear is a hoot.

If I ever go to New Zealand I have to go to Christchurch and see there little museum. I think there may be somewhere in the U.S.A. that has one as well. Gotta visit.
