Whole documentary film is available in a few bite size pieces commercial free on the interwebs.

"During the late 1980s, Kiwi inventor John Britten developed and built a revolutionary racing motorcycle. He pursued his dream all the way to Daytona International Speedway, where, in 1992, as an unlikely underdog, he proceeded to beat the biggest and richest manufacturers in the world. Britten: Backyard Visionary documents the maverick motorcycle designer that Guggenheim curator Ultan Guilfoyle described as "the New Zealander who stood the world of racing-motorcycle design on its head."

Barker, thanks for posting that. I have seen it before but watched it again. It always inspires me. I am off to the garage to work on the Lighting-Bolt (S2 with S1W motor)...

Thank God someone had the forethought to film the process of building that bike. Very cool.
