Troy Corser destroys the field on 89-year-old bike

there's our first clip yeah of Troy Corser that's the 1936 supercharged BMW r5 yes 1936 it's 82 years old and he's changing gear with his left hand it's a solid rear end so that's right bouncing around the heads just skimming over the top of this good wood tar Magna and course are after a bad start as you noted Martin now on a chart coming up behind Charlie with us and gears him outside on the tack I walked the way the heat was clearly running and this is safe solid rear end so no suspension other than the air in the tire I mean it must be a frightful thing and he is riding it like an American dirt track you know he really is hanging off the machine and just trying not to fight it in any stage he's in seventh at the moment is going up to second position Troy Corser with the alligator of course on the side of that crash helmet that he always had when he was in World Superbike he what object a t1 then the championship again and arguably the heyday of the World Superbike Championship in the mid 80s you know the foggy Achilles all hammer and tongs of the Kaczynski's good times when the Cathy vs. Honda I think all the truck gets out of the way but he's on the charge little way he's hanging off it you know he's if those silver heads to Stanford he will champ for them anyway hanging off that fastest race lap for Troy course at 1:30 3.38 the leaders are doing 135 she's a second that's a little bit of a wooden block or a bit of an oil tank or something but it doesn't seem to be close to the racing line which is just as well Troy course at number 11 now right up behind the number 12 machine and he is closing in fast you'd better be aware of what's coming they go and it's super Thomas Williams comes past a commentary physician he has a leads at the violence oh let's wait for the story to click through of two seconds and then look at this battle just look at this battle of course er comes through to second position and 82 your motorcycle this is a class this is a race for motorcycles up to 1954 and yet lead on a 36 by [Music]

There's another part here, when he chases McGuinness toward the end of the race.

This is sick, af. Switching gears with the left hand and no suspension. What a ride!

P.S. You should put an "off-topic" tag on this post.

They claim it's a supercharged BMW engine. Aside from slightly oblong cylinder heads it looks pretty much like a stock BMW boxer?
