Well that steel rod in the femur brings back memories. I had a car back out in front of my bike in '77. Had the Stainless rod put in, a year later they took it out. HaHa, They used a slide hammer to remove mine(guess they were out of vise grips, LOL). I think I'll be sick now! haha! Back then you could smoke in your hospital room!
he was a pedo that was charged with under age sex,the case was dropped with a big payout. then he went to oz and never came back. check on the tinnanet
What a huge loss to motorcycling. Barry Sheene was probably one of the only English riders to become a house hold name because of his high profile status. Even Hailwood and Agostini didn't have the attention he had. In latter years Australians were lucky to have him because he helped several good riders onto the international scene through his contacts. He was just a good bloke who told it as he saw it.
Before commenting about what caused Barry Sheene's Daytona crash, read his autobiography. The casing from the tyre came apart and wedged between the swingarm and wheel. Watch the video and you can see it happenWhen he said he dipped the clutch , what he meant, and its in the autobiography, was that he thought the motor had seized and he whipped in the clutch, hoping tp coast to a stop.
fuck you, he thought it was dangerous and who are you to judge someone if they dont want to race are you a legend? no is barry sheene? yes is he possibly one of the greatest riders who ever lived? yes your comment is shit you complete and utter useless cunt
This guy can't even spell Barry's name right, and there's a picture of his helmet with the name on it in the video. Jesus christ; pay attention before submitting a video
as an aussie i feel blessed that barry chose to spend his time with us on our tvs every weekend.i remember the rpm episode after he died,that was hard to watch,such a sad moment but i watched every second.you made a difference to ausralian motor sport of every kind,we miss you.
@kmcleod78 Thumbs up mate well said ,I still miss his no bullshit talk,he was great 4 aussie motor sport,who do you think got Mick Doonan, his ride with Honda..
Opinion is still split on the cause of the crash. Some say the tyre delaminated, thanks to the high speeds and a tyre technology struggling to keep up with bike development. Another theory is that the gearbox seized, though the former theory seems the most popular.
Thanks for the upload, but could you at least spell the great man's name correctly? That's "Sheene".

Barry was een leuk mens, en goede coureur vaak van hem kunnen genieten.
Helaas is deze markante man er niet mee, zo als velen uit zijn tijd.
Maar door de ouderen nog steeds niet vegeten.

Mike, are you related to John Zwetsloot, heavy metal guitarist, or is "Zwetsloot" a very common Scandinavian name?

What caused the crash, my first thoughts are a tyre blowout/puncture at the rear wheel, I could be wrong of course. Anybody know for certain?
