BMW Motorrad?s past is alive in its present and future...

?Asking me about the most impressive experience in my racing career, you will make my mind wander back to the year 1939 on that classic island in the Irish Sea, where the world-famous Tourist Trophy has been held for almost a century against the toughest competition you can imagine in international motorsport.? These were the words in 1948 of Georg ?Schorsch? Meier in thinking back on his ?most wonderful victory? which now lies 70 years in the past and has long become a legend ? for Georg Meier was the first non-English rider to win the Senior Tourist Trophy on his BMW Compressor machine.
