Description
Burt Munro: the Lost Interviews In a modest shed in Invercargill, New Zealand, two men sat together in the late 1960s. One, an older man, shared stories of his life, while the other, a young journalist, typed earnestly on his portable typewriter. These interviews, never published, were lost during a move and only resurfaced years later. Now, they are available in this book, offering a unique glimpse into the life of Burt Munro, a legendary Kiwi motorcycle rider. The interviews reveal Munro's colourful character and speed record-breaking achievements, as well as his international travels and friendships. His stories are vivid and engaging, offering a fresh perspective on his life. This book presents the lost interviews in their original form, allowing readers to experience Munro's voice and stories as they were first shared. Available as an eBook, this book provides a rare opportunity to hear from Burt Munro himself, offering a unique insight into the life of a motorcycle legend.
