Now, to mark the 50th anniversary of that feat—which was captured in the film The World’s Fastest Indian— Burt’s great-nephew, Lee Munro, will recreate the historic run. Said Burt’s son, John Munro, “I contacted senior management in mid-2016 and proposed that they should be commemorating the 50th anniversary. I suggested that Lee, being a relative of my dad’s, should be the rider because he is an experienced rider.” The all-volunteer team isn’t competing in a class, just making a run on the modern-day Spirit of Munro Indian Scout to pay homage to Burt Munro. But if late July trials at El Mirage are any indication, they just may set a speed record.

LAST NIGHT’S CONCERT

Chipsters have been rockin’ down the highway with the Doobie Brothers for many miles and it was a thrill to have this classic American band back in 2017 (above). They provide the perfect sound track for reuniting with your biker brothers—and sisters—at The Best Party Anywhere®. A confirmed road warrior, Justin Moore has shared a stage with country music greats all over the U.S. of A.
