Troy Corser on a 1929 R57 500 cc supercharged BMW at Goodwood this year.

Right hand hand-gear change, he use his left hand across the tank and blips the throttle using no clutch to change up and down - this on a shaft driven bike with engine speed clutch, unreal.

There is no back suspension with the front a girder and leaf spring fork setup and running thin tyres width drum brakes. Races down a 500 Manx Norton thats thirty years younger, ridden by John McGuinness. Awesome stuff.
