[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 32372, member: 99"] Dave Matson achievements are truly amazing but his story does not have the elements of drama that are necessary for a documentary intended for the general public. The Rollie Free story is the story of the underdog, a grudge match if you will. It includes the back story of an obscure British motorcycle from a cottage factory created by the two enthusiast Phils, always in financial difficulty but by using one of their machines and sheer guts Rollie trounced the mighty Harley D corporation. Added to this is the iconic image of how it was achieved. Over the years I have approached a number of documentary makers. Some were beginning to show an interest until 'The Fastest Indian' came out. They then concluded that there wasn't room for two such stories. [/QUOTE]
