@@vaughanwarburton9623 Seen it mate, that's a great pic, the 70's were great times, none of this PC snowflake crap, there was a Vauxhall racer in the 70's called Gerry Marshall, larger than life bloke, great guy, huge personality, he was always pictured at the end of a race with a pint in one hand, a huge cigar in the other surrounded by gorgeous girls.
Great. Back in the days when bikes were bikes, women were women, men were men, winters were winters and England was England. And it has mainly crumbled away in my life time.
Yes it has. Barry sheene had just about retired from two wheels when I first knew of him and into driving a Toyota in British touring car's / before truck racing. He was the one that made me want to ride. So age 41. I still do. Good job. Because women ' just sint women these days lol..
@@burthabard8316 £6000 today (2018) £42,000 so relatively cheap for a GP Bike, however manufactures were no doubt subsidising the cost to some extent, as the 'Road Bike Market' was the big earner. Unfortunately for Suzuki they came well unstuck as when in 1986 they launched the RG500 Gamma, it was soon banned in most Countries of the World due to emissions, they were blamed for Global Warming and consequently only a relative few were sold. However I did not think they were causing the slightest effect, and bought one in 1989 - one of the last made. Terrific Bike, that cost around £4000 then. RG500 CH (1989) Pepsi-Suzuki "Kevin Schwantz" GP Race Replica, Interestingly, the last of the street RG500s (the H model) had almost the same power output as the original works racers!
@@GrrMeister I had a Yamaha ss 50 gold 1973 for my first bike got it on the nock at a 270 pounds at 14 pounds a month then took my test on the old mans Honda c90 ? U could do that back then after passing I got a Honda 750 in gold 1975 reg for £ 680 new ended up swoping it for a bondbug the money there worth now will bye you a used rg 500 d if you can find one most are around 16000 in good nick if I new back in the day then my bank would have money in it but now I ride a Chinese 125 Honda clone that's life ha ha

Yes I noticed that ,even though he was a good old Essex boy,he was polite and modest,just really good d fashioned British values,not seen much theses days im afraid
They say Never meet your heroes. Well I did, at Donnington Park, many years ago. I was in awe meeting Barry Sheene and getting his autograph, which I still have to this day. That memory remains with me even now, as I cruise through my 50s. What a day that was.
Barry moved to Australia and carved out a marvelous career as a TV commentator before his untimely death. We know he was English, but he will always be "Our Barry", we loved him.
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain Sadly Bazza was addicted to cigarettes, and cancer took him. In some older photos you will see that he drilled a hole through the chinpiece of his Bell helmet, so he could smoke with it on...
Much nicer pace and style of tv back then, it's all too hyped and false these days. Was a big Barry Sheen fan and after hearing him tell Jenny to stick her bottom back as far as it will go, an even bigger fan!
He is a very attractive man. The way he spoke to ladies is very charming. No wonder most of the girls he met felt in love with him. What a great personality and character he is. Very sad we couldn't see a guy like this anymore in motogp world.
Jenny Hanley (Magpie and Taste the Blood of Dracula) was one of my first crushes as a teen.Valerie Leon from the Hai Karate adverts was another, as was Diana Rigg from the Avengers and Caroline Munro from the Hammer horror films and lastly Shirley Eaton from various films including Doctor at Sea and Goldfinger. Those were the days
Good interview, very nostalgic atmosphere and beautiful snowy weather. Barry was really a relaxed easy going guy, great to hear and see him again even though he is gone. Brings back great memories of watching him race in the transatlantic trophy series, thank you Thames Tv........:-)
What a Legend he was! As a child he was my hero. And to think when he rode for Suzuki GB he actually lived in Charlwood, in a gorgeous listed manor house, and the local pub I now cycle past on training, he would be found in, having a few beers with the locals. He lives on for me!
Sneaked into the paddock at Olivers Mount Scarborough in the mid 70s i was a teenager,we met Barry and Steph his beauty of a girlfriend he talked to us for a while lovely couple had time for everyone.
They used to say that Barry Sheene had so much metal in him that he was faster when going magnetic north. I remember watching Magpie in about 1969-70 and Elephant's Eggs in a Rhubarb Tree about 1970-71.
Damn, so much nostalgia I am choking up. I did a 12 hour endurance race at Mallory back in the day. I don't live in England any more, so perhaps it is the combination of time having passed combined with being homesick, but I swear I can feel that cold air on my face! 🏆⚒️🇬🇧
Yeah, you can just imagine it nowadays.. "So, with that many bikes on the grid, you must be really destroying the planet. And l hope that's not real leather"
I met Barry in the cockpit of a BA Jumbo jet coming into land to Heathrow many years ago, lovely guy most unassuming. I hasn’t to add neither of us was flying the plane. It was those innocent days when passengers where allowed to do such things.
If this segment aired today both their careers would be over, hers for being too feminine for the feminists and Barry's for the gentle flirtation, which today would be "sexual harassment". FTW.
@@robertlund5694 Robbie, it's been 9 months, you should be due and deliver the rest of the sentence by now. I'm sure it will be something rare and deep, like a diarrhoea.
Great programme I was lucky enough to appear on it meeting Graham Hill in the “ Tell Me” section. But can’t find the clip on You Tube . Barry Sheene another of my hero’s fond memories of watching him through Dingle Dale at Brands in the Transatlantic series .
I watched him race at Cadwell Park, when he walked past me about 10 yards away on his way to the pits I called out to him for a photo. He stopped and waited for me to take the photo, which I thanked him for. I still have the photo today. I used to love following the Transatlantic Trophy in the 70s.
Il mio pilota preferito sei sempre vivo nel mio cuore quando si correva con tutto quello che si aveva si vinceva con grande fatica e solidarietà con il tuo meccanico
