Term 1 Greyhigh

This term in English we have been working really hard on the hero cycle. we have been writing a bout our heroes and why they are famous and how they came to fame.

This is the paragraph that I wrote about him

Burt Munro was a motorcycle racer famous for setting an under 1000cc

record with his Indian Scout in Bonneville Salt Flats at 26th of August 1967.
This record still stands today and it has been for 51 years. He is my hero because he has shown me that
you can achieve a lot when you put your mind to it . you can visit his memorials at the museum in
Invercargill
one of them is at a place called Ehayes on Dee street
. another place you can find an exhibit about Burt is at the Invercargill museum not to far from Ehayes.
Last year I visited these two places and I thought they were really cool
because there was loads of information including his official certificate for the
time he set the record at Ehayes.
At the Museum they had his actual bike that he use to break the record
of cores it didn't look as cool as it use to because the bike was missing the iconic
goldfish shaped shell to increase the bikes aerodynamics. But overall I thought it was
a cool experience.
