What more can be said about Barry one of the best but in my eyes he his still the Best and always will be a motorcycle LEGEND truly missed in the sport .
chatted with barry in the pits at Brands Hatch for British GP practice. when questioned about the rumour he was there to try out for Ferrari - his reply "NAHHHH these things scare the shit outta me" i just stared in disbelief - Barry, SCARED. not possible!
I have had the pleasure of seeing and getting to know Jim Redman and saw Barry Sheene where ever he was racing. Such a talented man with a wonderful sense of humour .
The one and only Barry Sheene see him the last time he was at goodwood still loved the people as he always did and they. Love old Barry . Still missed even today 😢
i remember going to the v8's at eastern creek in 2004 i was 13 me and my dad were walking through the pits trying to get photos with all the drivers my dad spotted barry and yelled out can i get a photo baz he walked over through his arm around me like he had know me all my life took the photo shook my hand smiled and said "always be yourself " RIP OL MATE
He completely changed motorcycle racing. Money, sponsorship, exposure. He took it from almost club racing and brought it to livingrooms across the world. He gave some young and upcoming riders fantastic opportunities.
Treasure your memories, we won't see that stuff in the future. We've seen the best of road racing unless there is a dramatic change of mindset I really like the UK Lansdowne Series.
Christ how i miss ya fella just a chap that can tell the friggin hoards how it should be where have all the Barry Sheenes gone how life has become so fu.....kin boaring hope you are looking down on us and yep i know what ya WOULD BE SAYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOPE TO MEET YA ONE DAY ...............
I did not like Kenny when they raced all the slagging but I see a video of King Kenny after Barry died and it was just a wind up between the two on them So one said at a meeting Kenny was at what would make this better and he said Barry Sheene being hear and Kenny almost started to cry that’s respect that’s why I called Kenny King Kenny as he was know I respect him for what he said
