Video: Climb aboard for a blistering lap of the 1986 TT
26th June 2020
Laura Thomson
If you’ve ever ridden a motorcycle in anger, you’ll know the sheer exhilaration as you open the throttle on an empty road. But it would pale in comparison to a blistering lap...
It’s hard to put it into perspective, just how hard the riders push, but a strategically-placed onboard camera usually does the trick. And today, we’re inviting you to climb aboard with racing legend Roger Marshall at the 1986 Isle of Man TT, where he piloted a 500cc Rothmans Honda weapon to a sixth-place finish in the senior TT, just 2 minutes and 39 seconds behind ultimate race winner Roger Burnett.
In glorious grainy technicolour, watch as the British racer pushes the 500cc two-stroke V4 to its limit, coming dangerously close to the roadside furniture, the front wheel lifting involuntarily out of bends.
It was a ride that deserved better than a sixth-place finish, and earned Marshall international acclaim.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: A dreamy drive of Le Mans in a Porsche 935
