* One Man’s Dream – The Britten Bike Story” is a documentary film that was made in the mid-1990s about one of the world’s most innovative motorcycle engineers – John Britten. Britten was one of those staggeringly talented designers that comes along once in a generation, he was a man who designed an engine in 2 weeks, built it in 6 weeks and tested it shortly after.- Silodrome ** The Britten motorcycle story really is like a fairytale. It’s the story of a motorcycle built by one man that goes out and beats the best racing bikes made by the biggest manufacturers, and wins admiration and respect from the motorcycling community worldwide. The Britten V1000 was built in John Britten’s backyard, using only basic tools, very limited resources, the help of a few committed enthusiasts, and JB’s own vast talent. That the bike looked as good as it did, and even ran at all, was amazing. That it beat the best racing bikes from Italy and Japan is a feat, an accomplishment, and a miracle that’s beyond comprehension, beyond belief. -Faster and Faster
