Every year, we find ourselves scouring YouTube for racing videos during the MotoGP and WSBK summer hiatus. You know, anything to get our racing fix. Well, this year’s favorite clip features none other than two-time WSBK champion Troy Corser riding the wheels off an 80 year old BMW at last year’s Goodwood Revival. Do you like your racing with a little wobble and weave? You’ve got it here, as Corser pushes the old Beemer to its absolute limit and the top of the timing sheet.

Until…

Well, you’ll just have to watch.

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.

    I wonder if the owner of that bike is as ecstatic as the commentators...

    Wow, that was an awesome vid. I'd been ignoring this story because I didn't expect much from it, but those old bikes are cool.
