Here in Australia the spectators all get together prior to the race and ride down to the track on Phillip Island from Melbourne`s outskirts, - the Barry Sheene memorial Run. Watching thousands of Aussie bikers taking part in an event dedicated to an English rider certainly gives you an idea of how much Barry was liked by all of Australia, He was a class act..
When I was a young boy in the 70’s, I was Barry Sheene on Saturdays and Sundays, pushing my bicycle to its limits. R.I.P. Barry Sheene...and the other legend here, Murray Walker.
@@IMMORTALDIO Wow! That's a memory jerker. I remember getting a woo woo siren for my handlebars one xmas. Can't remember if I was Poncherello or John Baker :D
My first Transalantic visit. Oulton park, i think in '76, he rode through the gravel blipping that thottle less than a foot away from me, i though i would go deaf from that Music.. I was 10 or 11 i think. Him & Eddie Kid had such an effect on my life to present day. I wonder if this happens to todays kids being keept so 'Safe' Magnificent times. A real 'Dude' 20 Embassays puleez!
As a kid in the 70s, he was my absolute hero, end of.......the best there has ever been, he brought motorcycle superbikes to life, RIP Bazza, always number 1
When I was a baby, my father would watch all these races on ‘Grandstand’. Apparently he was confused by some noises I was making until he realised 1-year old me was mimicking a two stroke 500cc at full bore! And yes I’m a motorcyclist. Thank you Barry and Kenny.
Everybody loved Barry a great bloke down to earth balls of steel the bloke anyone would be proud to be his friends RIP dear Barry we miss you we wont ever forget you
@@chriswood7794 A great bloke a very skillful and totally fearless rider many times too fearless for his own well been a Legend Yes 100% by saying the truth does Not make you gay mate, keep safe
I rode my first bike a T250R Suzuki down to Brand Hatch and watched Barry ride his 500cc twin cylinder Suzuki in blue and white to Victory, on that day a real Hero came into my life and he has never left. Thanks for all the dreams and aspirations you have given me and millions of others. By the way this is the best video of Barry's life I have seen, thanks.
Great documentary on on a great rider and personality and without knowing ill say a good all round bloke. Loved the time Barry was commentating and doing interviews on Aus tv😥

Murray Walker was a miserable bugger, both my kids at brands hatch one time asked Murray Walker for his autograph…..and he’s exact words were……F*ck off you little ***t’s 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember as a very young lad,my mum and dad going to most of the UK tracks to watch barry sheene,then one day,I was asked by my dad would you like to see Barry's race bike,thought it was a joke,but there it was,in a local showroom!!! I was obsessed,and had the chance to see and sit on the great barry sheen's bike,been a biker ever since,I'm 52 now.....a legend in all my memories
I too sat on one of Barry's bikes,Haynes of Maidstone had one in their showroom,remember trying to pull the clutch.also his brother in law,Paul smart owned a bike shop in maidstone.
Lovely comment there my man, I am 43 now and for me growing up I was obsessed with the Silver Dream Machine. I am sure you remember that. I still watch it from time to time now. You be safe 😊
Met him at brands in the 70,s great bloke who always had time for his fans,I cried when he passed,a true gentleman,who I for one will never forget,it's because of him I got into racing,and I thank him for it 💓
It doesnt matter how many times i see this video , it always brings a lump to my throat ,he was my hero in the 70,s/80.s , top bloke , top man , RIP #7
I just helped my mum clear some of the stuff out of her loft and was looking through some old photos and found a photo of her on the back of a motorbike with Barry Sheene.
@@tomakafrankconlon3207 ????? I’m not trying to seek any attention. I was just commenting on an old photo I found of when my parents went to a GP back in the day that’s all. If that’s upset you or made you angry then I apologise that it’s made you feel that way. I’m not a troll and definitely not seeking any attention.
He had all the ingredients, serious, passionate,cheeky, heroic, caring,loyal, if I missed anything I'm sorry he was my hero RIP to a true legend of motorcycling, bought a DVD on his life so pleased I did keeps my memories alive of him 👍👌👏🌈🌟🍻🏆,no.7 forever 👍
I have worked as a photographer on most Aussie racetracks, and I have come to pend time and chat to Barry many times as he also worked around the tracks in the 90's. I used to pinch his smokes which he bought on New caledonia !! Gave me a card one day of his manoir en queensland and said come over... To this day I regret not to have gone there !!
As a wannabe biker in the early seventies an annual trip to Brands Hatch and the Transatlantic Trophy was a must, we went in a coach until 1976. As a biker in the mid seventies, from 1976 we all went on our bikes as we had all passed our tests by then. At one of these many meetings I saw Barry in his tent with his bikes, got his autograph on a programme. Still got Barry's autograph in a frame with his picture. He was my hero then and his picture and autograph as one of my most treasured possessions. I'm 61 now, still remember those days so clearly.
Out of all the people that emigrated to Australia, Barry has been one of my all-time favorites. I didn't know the guy at all, but from what I have learned, he seemed to give far more than he got.
I was lucky enough to meet Barry and his father Frank a few times in his truck racing days. He was the works Daf driver. We were also running a Daf truck but in a different class. Barry would always come to see how our truck was gong, and offer advice on how to improve it. A true gent and practical joker. Sadly missed, but never forgotten.
A super star if ever there was one, the playboy persona hid the most driven and dedicated racer, he lived to race. Most would never have ridden a bike again after Daytona, this guy was riding again 7 weeks later. I feel privileged to have been around when he raced. He was a bloody good comentator too.
Mannnn I was there at Goodwood for those races. I will never forget that I got to see Barry Sheene on his bike. So sadly missed, yet epicly remembered.
Thanks for the memories Barry, will never forget the match races at Oulton Park, You we’re untouchable. I remember you inviting us into your transit van with your mechanic, just so we wouldn’t get wet in the pouring rain. A true star. RIP 7
Thank you very much for this fantastic upload! I first saw Mr. Sheene in the Dutch TT in 1977 (11 years old then). Of course it was fantastic that 'our' Wil Hartog won, but I have been a fan since! Died way, way too young. Be safe all.
Legend. My first sporting idol. That bike, those leathers that number 7 epitomised the Seventies for me. I was only 5 and six when he won his two Championships and remember that massive poster of him on that Heron Suzuki, on my bedroom wall. We lost him far too early.
Two of the nicest men in motorsport I have had the honour to meet were Barry Sheene and Greg Hansford. Had the chance to talk with both and found both personable and humble, considering their fame. Shame both passed away. RIP.
Absolute legend! Every British bloke wanted to be him back in the day, he was the common man’s hero. 👌RIP BAZZA, No. 7 Only James Hunt had that kind of charisma, I don’t even watch super bikes any more, there just isn’t the same buzz around it.
Loved watching Bazza and Danza in the 500cc GP commentary in the early ‘90s. Always a way with words and a great interviewer that everyone had time for, a great racer.
Barry outshone most of the other heroes of the track in my formative years. I remember well the Silverstone race and the hospital visits. I was a dedicated Brut user, even though I would cough and sneeze my lungs up every morning. Seeing him back at Goodwood was a thrill and a pleasure. As a teenager I was jealous of his good looks and attraction to girls. He is still one of my greatest heroes to this day.
I hope these legends don't get forgotten as I'm just really learning about them :( Jesus they all must have had such pain pill addictions after these accidents lol
A wonderful video with so many memories and faces that I loved and admired. Good old Murry Walker, still with us at 97(ish). Damon Hill, as nice a person as you'll ever meet, and despite being an F1 World Champion, still star struck about being mates with Barry. I met Barry just once when I called by Frank's workshop at the hospital to collect a piston for a Bultaco scrambles bike. Barry was seven moths younger than me, but I had the impression he was younger as he weaved a trials bike through scaffolding outside the workshop. My memories of Barry vs Kenny Roberts was that Barry thought Kenny's style of 'squaring the corner' braking in deep and late, so he could lined up for the exit early and get on full power, slowed Barry who liked to carry speed right through the corner. I did not know that Barry had a gift for languages, or that Carl Fogarty's dad was that infamous back marker. A thoroughly enjoyable video, despite the sadness at the end remembering Barry's death all too early.
A wonderful man and a great representative for sport for this country, Barry had it all but was snatched away from us far too soon, like Mike and Joey,and the other greats we've lost God rest them all
What a Racer he was just like no one else just loved watching him race saw him ride several times were lucky as international riders rode at a lot domestic races so we got to see some great riders
I'm 70 and my heart is still for Barry ❤❤❤❤

Barry like most other British legends flew the flag high for England and the whole of the U.K. we all miss you Barry may you ride in peace 🇬🇧
Not only did he fly the flag he was also a helicopter pilot sadly now flying with the Angels.

Ain’t that the truth 🏍👍

Walker & Hunt the best.

I would have to say Australia was very lucky to have Barry Sheene live here in his latter years. What a great story, what a great man 🤓❤️
I hit the ''Like'' button before I watch the video...That tells a lot about my hero..
Same
As a school buy of the 70’s he was a huge hero to so many.

Sheene, Brock, Senna all very special, much missed. RIP ALL
