What a sad day

saw him race at mallory many years ago and again a couple of years ago at donington. Age had not touched him at all, still supremely skilful and a joy to watch. Loved reading his comments in bike each month. He said it as he saw it.

Gonna miss him !

And as a commentator he came out with some classics - like:

"The advantage of the rain is, that if you have a quick bike, there's no advantage"

Barry Sheene.............

..............What a star ! Like most of the 30-40 somethings on here, Barry was a childhood Hero for me. Wasn't really aware of motorcycling until seeing him racing at Mallory Park before that crappy bustop thingy was ever thought of. All the local older lads rode Suzi TS's trail things but Bazza was the man.

Jeez can you imagine the hereafter with Bazza and James Hunt callin the shots !! :} :B :}

It was because of Barry and his attitude that got moi interested in fast bikes & racing.
Also a few years ago I was proud to be 'tooted' by Barry in a Toyota Supra in Brands Hatch and he yelled out of the window
'get out the way fat barstard'.

My hero. Gone but not forgotten.

Where can I get me a replica helmet?:bow:

Sad Day In Oz

RIP Legend ...

Like I said on the US site ... The telly is never gonna be the same over here ... Baz fair dinkum made the racing commentary over here something special - and not just the Bikes - he did the V8's and Supertourers for years

Gunna miss the Bazza-isms .. Like the time one of the V8's disitergrated after kissing the wall at Phillip Island - Baz commented "That things a Major Sausauge"

And how about the Aussie riders he got a start for .. the likes of Mr Doohan ... Mr McCoy and Mr Beatty, I doubt they would be were they are without Baz in thier corner .....

Anyway - we're poorer for the loss , but richer for the people you've touched .

Pete
