My dad has the movie on dvd. Not a bad way to spend a cold or rainy day.
A friend of mine remembers seeing Burt on the flats back in the 60s and was one of the guys that went around to get donations for Burt so he could continue his journey.

That is one of the best movies made IMHO. I think I've watched it about 10 times. If you have never seen it I highly recommend it. It has some motorcycle Icons such as Rollie Free that pop up.
