One Man's dream

Post by Kev L »

Been off my feet today for reasons I won't bore you with, but it gave me the opportunity to watch a dvd I bought recently called "One man's dream, the Britten bike story". John Britten was a New Zealand engineer who designed and built his own bike from the ground up. Brilliant story and only the background music let's it down. It's played too loud and means you can't hear the characters speaking on occasion.
The noise the bike makes is the business. Anyone nearby who wants to borrow it is welcome but I recommend it as a good view.

A couple of shots of the man and his bike.

And the engine he cast and built -
