Trout at Bonneville
I froze the crash scene in 'The World's Fastest Indian' to photograph the plan view of Burt Munro's 1920 Indian Scout streamliner LSR bike of the 1960s.
Then I compared it to the 'trout' in Sir George Cayley's Notebook of 1800.
The nose and tails are virtually identical when viewed in plan.
Burt's bike is just stretched a bit,with a constant-velocity section in the middle,making its overall length a bit greater.
What's old is new again!

Lousy movie. They barely showed any scenes of the bike, and the main thing I remember from it was that he was a slob that urinated on his trees and burnt his lawn so he wouldn't have to mow it.

Frank,I'll post 'em when time permits.The shot from Bonneville is pixelated due to the TV screen.
Cayley's image is pretty good though. |
