I wasn't at Goodwood in the Sheene days there but someone who was has told me Mick Hemmings on a McIntyre Matchless won 2 of the races about that time is that so? And was on RU-vid.
Today I saw this very bike at the National Motorcycle Museum just out of Birmingham. The whole experience of seeing this bike and so many others is somewhat overwhelming. Also on display was the first Norton and first Triumph ever built. If ever you have a chance, a visit there is well worth a look. Thanks for your wonderful work Fred.
People forget how important Sealy was. He buit the frames for Ducatis first GP bike, that frame influenced their first big road bikes and became the Ducati signature still admired today.
Putting so much effort into making a bike correct is a remarkable thing when so may of the bikes claiming Sheene heritage have such thin stories under their paintwork.
Nice interview Fred , have you ever thought about a training session on stripping re building Manx Norton engines one to one ? on a chargeable basis , Regards Mark Whalley
Very good to watch . I remember Fred bringing Barry into Molnar prescion to watch how all the Manx parts were being manufactured for the build . I was a young engineer at the time and Barry stood with me watching me make the fork sliders on the big Harrison lathe . I can remember making some very special parts for it as Barry was quite involved in the whole thing . Great times !
I have just watched this video - what an absolutely magnificent tribute to Barry Sheene and testimony to you too Fred. I was fortunate to see Barry win the Classic Race earlier in the year at Donnington on your bike and of course watch Valentino Rossi win the Grand Prix - what a day 👍
I feel privileged just to have watched this video it was a real tearjerker at the end thank you to all concerned you never know what’s around the corner on the iPad just waiting to be discovered.🇬🇧
Thank you for posting. This has been a real joy to watch. Thank goodness there are still engineers like Mr Walmsley, still out there in England ,keeping our motor racing heritage alive.
Fred is surely one of a kind! A pioneer in this profession, Thank you for coming to the video! We appreciate the support. Keep letting your motor racing communities know about this video!
What a lovely tribute to Barry 😃, thank you. Like many like me who were privileged to have watched Barry race. It's great to see him remembered in this way. Fred, your work is joy to see and you will be remembered too. RIP Barry.
What a lovely message, Thank you for the positivity. With videos like these and the stories people like yourself have to tell we hope these memories never die!
Absolutely wonderful story, l loved every minute of this video, l watched Barry Sheene race many times in the 1970's he was a joy to watch. What a lovely Manx Norton, such a beautiful engine, a work of engineering art.......🙂
It was Barry that got me into bikes as a kid. You know it’s in the right hands when Fred says he’s kept hold of the levers for 20 years. It’s nice when things get done right.
I watched Barry at Donnington in 2002 win on the Walmsley Manx. I first saw him race at, if memory serves, Brands Hatch at the tender age of 17 in 1974. I remember how he lit up the world of M/C racing through the seventies and was appalled when he had the big off at Daytona in ‘75 and then in ‘82 at Silverstone. A very talented racer, outside of his television persona I learned he could be very demanding however, he had a prodigeous talent and as someone who has attempted to race motorcycles when I was younger, I have always been envious of his superb ability. As to Mr Walmsley, I am well aware of his reputation but my experience lies more with factory Hondas than anything else.
Have finished watching the video ….Barry was lucky to have you as his race engineer. You were a major factor in maintaining Barry at a deserved winner. …I feel lucky to have seen him win some of his last races on your bike !!
I shook hands with Barry in the infield at Malory Park when I was ten years old, it was still grass then and they were working out of gazebo tents. I turned around and he was riding side saddle towards me along the grass, as he got off the bike, he smiled and shook my hand, I was so proud to have been there, my folks couldn’t shut me up all day. God bless you Barry Sheene, a showman, a gentleman and a bloody good rider. Rest in peace sir. Thanks Fred for putting a slice of history back the way it should be. #7 🙏
this brings back so many memories I was at Donnington Park in 2002 to watch Moto GB with Valentino Rossi and when all the main racing had finished all the other guys started going back to camp to start finishing packing up to head back home, we had been there all weekend but as soon I saw barry i thought I'm not going anywhere until I had seen barry race, he obviously won the race and when he did his lap of honour helmetless of which today he would probably be fined, it brought memories back of the transatlantlantic races with the Americans and everybody cheering him as world champion and although he did the parade lap after it also seemed sad to see the circuit emptying at the same time and at the time I thought to myself how times change when i did get to leave Donnington I couldn't get out for ages I was just stuck there for ages no wonder the others scarpered early but I wasn't to know that it would be one of his last races so no regrets, great video I wonder how many of your neighbours know the history involved with that bike
Congratulations lovely to watch I can remember still there watching the race just been absolutely spell bound absolutely lovely to see his boy back together. Thank you Michael
I was at Donington Park when Barry won there, he got the loudest cheers of the day as he did his usual parade lap, with helmet on the tank and the laurels round his neck.That was also the day Craig Jones secured Triumphs first 'modern' National Championship (Jnr. Superstock) for a very long time.
