There was nothing that would lead me to believe he would burn down a church. Russ was always very respectful of my religion. We discussed it openly, the way many people discuss politics.
"Jeremy Burgess", is an Australian motorcycle racing chief mechanic, having worked with three world champions: Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi. He was also a mechanic on Freddie Spencer's team when Spencer won the 500cc World title in 1985. Burgess learned his GP skills from the legendary American crew chiefs, George Vukmanovich and Erv Kanemoto for whom he worked in his early years.
Winning machines prepared by Burgess range from the Suzukis of Randy Mamola to the Hondas of Ron Haslam, Freddie Spencer, Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi to the Yamaha of Valentino Rossi. Since July 1980, these riders have won 157 GP/MotoGP races (as at 2 November 2009) and a total of fourteen World Championships on motorcycles that "JB" has either prepared himself or whose preparation he has overseen as crew chief. Burgess's machinery have achieved over 280 podium finishes.
More Jeremy Burgess on Wikipedia.He's a real goofy personality. He's almost like a cartoon character.
He wasn't raised as a Christian, and he had never found any kind of religion to settle down with. He thought he'd found something that worked for him. It's not worshipping the devil. It's nothing ritualistic. It's about the pursuit of knowledge. He explained to me that there can be Satanic Christians. It gave him the peacefulness and serenity of Buddhism. It was a real peaceful thing.
Russ is just a goofy, fun-loving guy, almost like a cartoon character. He's always nice, respectful and hardworking. He studied more than I did.
He told me I was one of the more intelligent Christians he's talked to. Coming from a Satanist, I didn't know quite how to interpret that.
And it all caught up to them. They panicked and tried to cover their tracks.
He was distraught. He looked just as confused as I was.
