  • Was this the one where the engine seized? Two-stroke, right?

  • Wasn't actually the engine that seized, apparently the rear tire grew (expanded)so much that it jammed in between the swing arm locking the back wheel.

  • is he dead?? sry to ask that...

  • Yes, Barry lost his fight to cancer a few years ago.

  • Barry Sheen was a PROPER BLOKE! Superb rider & champion, chaser of women, great character. Like James Hunt, he was definitely a 70's man! No wonder the Aussies were mad about Bazza! RIP champ- sadly missed.

  • legend rest easy barry, sadly missed.
