As a teenager my biking hero was Barry Sheene I used to love watching the Tussles betwwen Him and Kenny Roberts in the Transatlantic trophy in the Late Seventies. Also Barry's lap record ( 137mph average speed) of the Spa circuit has never been broken .

I'm with you on this one Tigg . Major crash at Daytona in 1975 breaking most bones that could be broken World 500cc Champion in 1976 & 1977 - what a comeback ! On top of that he was a bit of a character and a playboy And whenever you got stopped by the Police for going a bit fast they would always greet you with " Hello Barry" Not that I can remember most of this . . . I have an older brother who told me all about it . . . honest !
