EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment in motorcycle racing history. The image captures the legendary George Meier astride his powerful BMW bike during the 1989 Classic Lap. With its timeless appeal, one could easily mistake this scene for an event that took place half a century earlier, perhaps in 1939. As the photograph reveals, Meier fearlessly leads Graham Rhodes on his Velocette Roarer. However, it is worth noting that due to its unproven nature, the Roarer did not participate in the race. This fact only adds to the significance of Meier's triumph as he emerged victorious in what would be remembered as the last pre-World War II Tourist Trophy (TT) race. The intensity and determination etched on Meier's face convey his unwavering focus and skill as he navigates through challenging turns and accelerates down straightaways with precision. His BMW machine exudes power and elegance simultaneously - a testament to both engineering excellence and rider expertise. This extraordinary snapshot serves as a tribute to George Meier's exceptional talent and highlights his significant contribution to motorcycle racing history. It reminds us of an era when speed was matched by bravery and innovation paved the way for greatness on two wheels
