internationally acclaimed artist and sculptor Steve Posson will unveil his
six-foot bronze piece “Flying Mile” at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 at Agoura

Honoring
legendary racer Albert “Shrimp” Burns and his 1914 Indian 8-Valve, the piece will
join additional Posson motorcycle and automotive sculptures on display at

to AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Burns, one of the top dirt and board track racers

Harley-Davidson and Indian factory teams, was the youngest champion of his era,
winning his first titles at the age of 15.
