I met Barry Sheene when I was around 10 of 11 years old , I'm now 54 , still one of the greatest moments of my life . Amazing man who lived life to the full for himself and his fans .
As a new fan to the vintage road race years, Barry was and absolute gem to the sport and he was just him. Any american loves that, he was a "cowboy" of the GP.
@seeker156 you are perhaps not so new to this period now but would recommend the 1979 British GP at Silverstone if you have not already seen it. A classic battle between Roberts and Sheene which really got my interest as a kid.
Barry was the poster boy, jet set lifestyle, smelling of Brut & beautiful GF. But for us long haired bikers Rocket Ron & Joey Dunlop were our heroes. Though I guess Barry sold more bikes than the other 2 combined.
Barrys right factory bikes are more than twice as good...the main thing is factory bikes..are safe an faster at higher speeds power suspension...brake etc...if u never raced or got in the pits of any kind of bike races...it the same..bikes are 20 times better now...
I knew Barry & his family,. We all miss his cockney accent. He made a very unique contribution, to the world of motorcycle racing, as rider & commentator , in the UK & later Australia. God bless him 🙏
I used to go to Oulton Park to watch the Trans-Atlantic Trophy, great pure racing, no electronics, just race bikes, i always stood at Deer Leap out of Lodge Corner, no traction control, those guys would come out of there with the front wheel up in the air and the engine screaming, i was only a kid in total awe of these guys, absolute LEGEND'S
Only a minor gripe but I am sure this is the 1984 transatlantic meeting. I got Roberts, Baldwin and Croz's autographs in the pit lane area and a mate who was a marshall rescued Freddie out of the gravel at Redgate. Sheene was still recovering from his injuries at Siverstone in '82 during the 1983 season. Lucky enough to sit next to him and Stehanie in pit lane at the 1984 meeting. Unfortunately the season he retired from racing.
I was a member of Wisbech Motorcycle Club at the same time as Barry Sheene. We had a Special Evening when he won his first major race. Never forget your roots.
Pecker head. Ive hung out with the KING he is not who he is because he is some candy ass. Eye contact with that man will make you question yourself.. he is a bad little m.f.....
@@flybywir1 he was great but so was barry ,yamaha in 78 79 80 81 82 83 had faster bikes until honda got in on it,and later suzuki did come back but once in every ten years
TheMickeyfinn4444 Yes I met Mark Salle at Oulton in 83. I was 21 and had my young 10 year old future brother in law with me.....It was his first race meeting and Mark made quite an impression when he let him sit on his bike for a photo (I still have that photo of Mark with his arm around Daniel)... my brother in law cried when a few weeks later I had to tell him that Mark had been killed at Brands Hatch.:-(.. We only met him once but he was a really nice guy..
Thank you. That is a nice story, I would love to see the photo ! I can be reached at mickeyfinn4444@gmail.com or via Facebook or Twitter (Sharon Salle !!)

Listening to Barry gives you goosebumps. Taken way too soon!
RIP no. 7
Top man.
any American
race fan know Barry was an absolute gem of a racer! He was him, which was perfect!
Shane about the chain smoking, killing him.
@@tezzrterry7485 who's Shane?
@@ant2312 Shame, shame, shame.
I had all these races or at least the highlights on VHS and I lost it somehow cuz life. I WISH someone would post the whole thing PLEASE!
vangloryous actually I still have the 84 transatlantic and V4 Victory with Joey Dunlop in VHS and Beta
Yes,this is definitely 1984,not 1983............
I’m sure this was in 1984 ?

Very unpopular opinion but I found Sheene really annoying.
They were the days intercontinental racing at the weekend brilliant 😆🤗
Cool！NSR500!

Low camcorder batteries or ..too much British commentary? Either way, bummer we didn't see the race finish.

Gardner, Roberts, Lawson, Spencer..
Those were some spectacular racing.
The best part about it was that all of them "got along and respected one another"! GOD BLESS THEM!
King Kenny....any tougher he'd rust.
Oh yes, Welsh blood in his veins helps !
Chris Carter ,trully one of the best narrators of moto sports of all time, always intelligent and entertaining.

Such a shame there's no longer a transatlantic series. Great to watch
Great era with not too much yammering about politics 👍👍

I agree it must have been 84 as it was the first year Spencer rode the Honda V4 with the fuel tank in the belly pan.
They didn't call him King Kenny for nothing. Barry was not only a great rider but, a Rock Star rider.
Barry wearing Gary Nixon gear. Two great badasses in M/C racing. One Brit, one Yank. Love it!
what a card, barry is missed ...stop smoking it's nasty
motoputz let’s hope other smokers listen good advice
@@motoputz3201 barry once drilled a hole in his helmet so he could have on on the start line
@@frozenice61 that's addiction!
Gary Nixon
Ha the commentators called Kel Carruthers an American, WRONG he's Australian.
Bummer...it's over already!? I was so captivated that the 13+ minutes just flew by. Thanks for sharing this gem!
Three Races from this meeting are on my Channel From 1984.
thanks!
This is 1984, Spencer's 84 honda nsr500
This isn't the 1983 races, it's the 1984 races.
Legends all of them 👌🏻😎
I was a member of Wisbech Motorcycle Club at the same time as Barry Sheene.
We had a Special Evening when he won his first major race.
Never forget your roots.
1984
First year of the V4, NSR 500 with under engine fuel tank
Got worse as the level decreased
What a great finding! Thanks guys.
But it's actually 1984.

Luv it typical Brit kid spectator in the background guzzling pints of beer 🍺.....
Crazy Yvonne DuHamel would be a nice addition to this crew ... except he's Canadian ...
Great Times

Eu super byke, on n'en est loin, Honda avez un 3 cylindres, le reste fumé d'huile du 2 temps 💕💕🤩🤩
This was 1984.
1984
1984年当時にバリーシーンがケニーロバーツとウェインレイニーの話をしているなんて今考えると凄い事だと思う。未だGP１年目て時期的に開幕したばかりの頃なのにもう注目していたのかな？
Excuse me! It stopped! Hey!
1984 not 1983..
Category: Pets and Animals. LOL
We never had a chance....to many factory bikes for the yanks....
Man what a force the Americans used to be in GP racing. I've never seen this concept before I was probably 5 years old when this was on.
😳..barry shene ..pato donald.😉brazil
This is 1984, start of the season (after Daytona).
８４’
Kenny Roberts with the personality of an house brick. Barry had it all, great man and a great racer.
Flat track to road racing KING KENNY..
Pecker head. Ive hung out with the KING he is not who he is because he is some candy ass. Eye contact with that man will make you question yourself.. he is a bad little m.f.....
@@dannyhughes8187 shut up you melt
Unfortunately Motorcycle racing is not a personality contest....and Kenny Robert's was a faster and more complete rider.....
@@flybywir1 he was great but so was barry ,yamaha in 78 79 80 81 82 83 had faster bikes until honda got in on it,and later suzuki did come back but once in every ten years
Pure GOLD!
Cuando las máquinas no eran robots,solo pilotaje
excellent！NS500!
Does anyone know the outcome of this race and how each rider finished?
What a shame we don’t get to see the finish
6 laps in and Aldana is in last place, it must have been a helluva party the night before!
This would be the '84 Trans-Atlantic race, not the '83.
I agree. My late husband was in the UK '83 team and the races were at Oulton, Snetterton and Brands !
Ooops, forgot about my hidden identity - Salle !!
TheMickeyfinn4444 Yes I met Mark Salle at Oulton in 83. I was 21 and had my young 10 year old future brother in law with me.....It was his first race meeting and Mark made quite an impression when he let him sit on his bike for a photo (I still have that photo of Mark with his arm around Daniel)... my brother in law cried when a few weeks later I had to tell him that Mark had been killed at Brands Hatch.:-(..

So where’s rest of race

Those were the days.
