He has good cause to disparage at least one Triumph - the much-abused, broken,
repaired, mostly broken TR3 he used to race. The man knows the dark of night
thrashing under a Triumph in the paddock.

Dustin,
Burt and I go back over 30 years.
We have crossed paths many times over the years.
At least once, we crossed swords, when he disparaged our Triumphs.
He is, however, an interesting part of our community.
Watch for a pending press release where Burt will be honored, among others.
Regards,
Joe Alexander
