Origin[]
A New Zealand motorcycle rider and enthusiast, Burt Munro worked for two decades hand modifying his precious 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle. He traveled to the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, known for the barren landscape perfect for breaking land speed records. He set several records, including the fastest verifiable speed on an Indian under 1000 cubic centimeter, which occurred with a 68 year old mechanic riding a 47 year old machine.
Effects[]
Riding causes the user’s age to accelerate in proportion with the motorbike. The faster they initially drive, the more quickly their body will age until it reaches a plateau. Constant change in acceleration however can affect the user over a longer period and cause more noticeable aging. The user will still retain a large portion of their physical strength and mental acuity.
