I've had that Petrolicious video saved for a few years now and watched it regularly. I was always impressed with how smooth and perfect his lines were and how he kept his head level and looked deeply through turns. And he held on to all those wonderful bikes that meant so much to him. I'm pushing 74 so this hits home for me.

Though I am saddened by Mr Burlando's passing, I was uplifted by that wonderful film. He has succeeded in life in the best possible way: he made his dream a reality. Cool guy, that Giovanni...
