Just watched this movie and must say that I really liked it.
It's a truebased story about Burt Munro (played by Anthony Hopkins) who used to break speedrecords on an old Indian motor from 1920 on the saltplanes of Utah (he was far in his sixties then).

I saw it on the plane and Anthony Hopkins indeed delivers. The movie a bit less, imho.
