Back in the 60's I watched Gene Romero win an AMA national race and blew away the field.
They interviewed his tuner and said the bike and rider couldn't be more perfect.
He said:
"You are absolutely wrong. Perfect is when you win by lapping the field twice. As the bike crosses the finish line you run out of gas, the frame breaks in two, the engine explodes and the rider dies of exhaustion. That's perfect"
