I can't find Motorcyclist magazine on the local news stands. I guess I will wait until the article is available online.

I thought it funny as I read Joe Berk's book, 5000 miles at 8000 RPM and really enjoyed it. From that excellent book, I noticed that Joe Gresh makes passing mention of burnouts, but not the "Burnout That Changed The World", and who might have perpetrated that!
