was the best thing about Barry he was easily aproachable and made everyone feel like a friend. A true legend.

A pure motorcycling ICON! Besides the great save at 4:55, check out the reaction time in his attempt to save the bike at Daytona (2:14). A brilliant racer we lost to cancer....when will we find a cure?

Great bloke, great days, great era. Happy memories. The world is a lesser place without people like Barry Sheene.

I used to go back to my mums house on a saturday and catch her watching Moto gp in the days when it was on Saturday in the 70s.she was a big fan of Sheene. not bad for a 60 year old woman..

Good response times for the emergency services, especially for '75.

@chrisnapierutube read the title of the clip, daytona has banked corners, at silverstone is where Barry hit the bike on the track as he came over the crest, 2 separate incidents.
