- Sheene having finally sorted his suzuki with new Harris yokes gives Haslam a hard time on the factory Honda.
Pity Barrys bike didnt behave like this for the earlier match races ! I was down at the B'OL Dor at the time on my trusty gs 1000. - กีฬา
Mmmm, the wonderful sound of a big 2 stroke. Still miss it. 😢
Sheene was such a smooth rider, closing up on the cornering but lacking that bit of power on the straight, he’s a much missed personality, like James Hunt, both were top quality.
Heart hurts for those of this era that we lost far too soon, Barry was a great rider and did so much for Australian motorsport after his retirement, wish he was still around today.
people say Roberts was better... but considering Sheenes accidents..especially the 2nd when he obliterated his legs... its incredible he came back from them.. and still raced at the top.. great memories regardless who was your fave rider.. .. .. remember waiting outside his caravan at mallory in 76 aged 10 for an autograph.. but he was busy so i got Katayama's and dave potter instead..... great times
A fantastic guy ,always my hero ,taken too young. A lovely man.
Bloke was a English icon. Met him a few times in the late seventies and an absolute gent! Took the time to talk to you and have pictures taken in the paddocks of various racetracks. RIP ❤️
I think you will find it was called Marketing. The more pictures you got taken the more you showed off your sponsors and the bigger the chance of being published (even in yr private home).
Whereas nowadays pilots have organised sponsor and advertising days (they hate) but are obliged through contract to attend.
Their days at the tracks are finely tuned and 'minuted' so they no longer have the time to smoke casual cigarettes (they don't smoke ... because they are athletes now) and hang around with spectators or the public in general.
They have personal coaches for everything and PR teams.
No wonder they have no time for casual "selfies".
We are living the 21st century my friend.
@@team3383 truth mostly but Sheen was genuinely a good bloke
We miss Sheene here in Australia too, where he lived after his riding career. Comiserations to the poms, we share your pain
@@tosgem Not sure he would have lasted an hour with a modern team. He was a great bloke, but he wouldn't have had the patience to put up with the way modern teams work.
I remember in the 90's when pilots used to cross EU at full chat on big BMW's to get to the race tracks. Race on the wednesday, thursday, friday saturday & sunday and then ride home .... Thats now impossible and the teams wouldn't allow it either.
@@team3383 you can't compare era's. Many riders from back then wouldn't compete under modern standards. It does not compromise their legacy whatsoever.
I love hearing all my old hero's names being called they were the days .
I met him at Phillip Island in 1996 when Mick Doohan won another World Title. Barry Sheen had charisma And Was One Of The Best Bike Racing Comentators Back Then.
Brilliant commentator
I was never a Barry Sheene fan, I was more old school, Mike The Bike and John Hartle. BUT you have got to appreciate his skill and guts. His demeanour in his final days was unbelievable. Not sure that many of us could have performed so well whilst in the grips of cancer. Thanks Bazza for keeping the flag flying
Always had a smile on his face. Helped so many of the younger riders. A great character if ever there was.
Gave Daniese his idea for a back protector and took no money for it just to help out his fellow riders. Thanks Barry! RIP
Man we miss people like Barry Sheen, don't we?
Everything in GP so vanilla now by comparison.
every kid growing up in the 70,s wanted to be barry on a suzuki , number 1 bloke and here to many !
No. He was a number 7 bloke.
Yep that was me too, finally got to see him race in 1985 or 86 here in South Africa, what a legend. Loved this man
I just wanted his girlfriend's.
I remember watching Barry when I was still at primary school. It seems like yesterday, dad took us boys to see him race all the time for years, still look up to him as a hero and still after all these years, cannot believe he has passed away, what a guy.
I love the style of these bikes. RIP to all that have pushed it to the end.
i live in Sawley, Long Eaton. this is my local track. i've spent countless hours here watching races over the years, watching who, i didn't know at the time, were to become iconic names in racing. i feel truly honoured that i can, and do, trackdays on my R1, in the very same tyre tracks as these awesome riders. all of them, every single one of them , awesome riders.
Stabbo lad ere
What a legend !!!
Roger Marshal does a talk at lunchtime on the old days at Cadwell Park BSB. This is just on BSB radio and for the hordes. Golden times, I could listen all day, the laughs they had before the Corporates took over......
I was only racing at Donington 2 weeks ago against 'Rocket' Ron Haslam in a CB500 endurance race.....He's still bloody quick and not surprisingly ended up winning it along with the other 2 members of his endurance team.
Well he never stopped riding did he, thanks to his school at Donington and nobody knows every inch of that track like Ron. Had the pleasure of spending a day with him at his home a few years back when I was a journalist. A lovely fella, and a nice family. Despite the fact he forgot we were coming, he treated myself and my colleague to lunch, offered us a spin at Donington on the back of his bike and even invited us to his family fireworks party that evening. A true gentleman and rightly called a legend of the track.
@@Wally-H Well said about the King of Donnington
Amazing, he pledged to race for the fans, sheene made a few mistakes but he kept to his pledge!!
Ohh the great Barry Sheen, what a master
Top Rider Top bloke too , ,!
And a Master at Pulling a bird !!
Girls loved him !
1984........simply superb footage, thanks for sharing
Jerry Burgess has been around for...like...FOREVER!!! Rocket Ron, Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi - what a career!
Great to be reminded of the days when purpose built (2-stroke) race bikes were available and there were plenty of them out there.
Except it's not his last race, he was winning races at Goodwood up to 2002.
Happy days when you could see the racing not just a fucking great fence.!
Met and got his autograph at the transatlantic trophy brands hatch .The best top bloke
A true legend
Mick Grant the Legend is still doing suspension at track days - All Legends
Christmas 1965. Him 15 me 18, he came over to his mates (my gf's) house in Pimlico and we decoked a 250 Royal Enfield on Xmas day.
im 76 I got the smell of castrol r when I was 7 at perry barr speedway stadium I use to sneek in at half time in my time ive seen some of the greats in all forms of motor bike racing you name it ive seen it I tried it I was crap I just loved the artistry of some man on bikes the sound that reaches parts of you combine with smells is better than my heart medication im getting withdrawn ive started screaming at things im in desperate need of live motorbike racing or a lot stronger heart medication
hi roy know what you mean about castrol R i spent many years karting and used that oil in 2 stroke engines we used in those days the smell still takes me right back in time like no other smell and ime 65 cheers my friend
Nice vid but whats the point when the race result is not shown.
Donnington, I ws on the pit wall, so much for security.
Got some great pics.
All the good old names I remember them with affection
LAST TIME I SHOOK MY HERO,S HAND/RIP BARRY-NEVER FORGOTTEN
just to think....i do trackdays here riding in the tyregrooves laid down by pure legends. i live in long eaton, just a stones throw from this track. i forget how iconic this circuit is. shame on me and most of my trackday nutty mates, including jack marshall, aarun rodgers and all the rest of you.
When Barry sheene lived in Charlwood, I was his milkman!! !
Every Saturday, cause his "manor house " was the last I'd deliver to go the village, I'd pop in and have a cuppa with his wife, Steph, whilst I cashed up...
The leathers he was wearing when he came off at Daytona (doing 180 MPH) were hung in his pantry... it always reminded me of the scene from "silence of the lambs " where Hanibal Lector flayed the policeman whilst escaping...
Ah grim...
But...
Chris Carter commentating. Lovely!
Anyone remember the transatlantic challenge when Ron Haslam contracted to Honda, had no factory bike, was offered a factory Suzuki And Honda said no. Honda offered him a VFR750 road bike, fans were outraged.
It rained in the day of the race, works bikes couldn't get the power down, Haslam won.
Honda couldn't build VFR750's fast enough to keep up with the sales.
Remember it well .
Honda couldn't shift those 750s quick enough after that .
Didn't do Ron's reputation any harm either
bazza born in london september 11 1950 same date but in zagreb croatia what a racer that man was so nice person
His last race was at Good wood 2001 in clasic event I saw him and he won
I was there too, I was trying to work out if it was 2001 or 2002 but I think you're correct. We saw some great battles between Barry Sheene and Wayne Gardener.
It was 2002 at Goodwood, he also raced at Donnington classic race at Moto Gp in 02 just before Goodwood. I was there and it was great to see him win 😊
I believe his last race was actually a classic race on a Fred Walmondsly prepped Manx Norton billed as a support race at the 2002 British MotoGP, he won.....
+Chris Thomson: As was I :) good memories indeed....
+SmokinJoe347 last race was at goodwood
It was his last race before retirement from racing, the goodwood race was his last race before he passed away and when he just did the odd race for fun. but you know that and just being pedantic
I met him at Oulton Park well I said met him he walked past me never even said hello yah a great bloke.
the last of the great sportmen
top bloke, sadly missed
He was my hero. I thought I was a GP Champ on my RD250 lol
Apachecat Cat I thought I was Barry sheene back in 76 on my Suzuki GT380
@@angelosantaniello4113 Me to on my, GT 125 twin, two stroke.
@@kellyk5946 awesome my bud had an RD400, he was Kenny Roberts lol
@@angelosantaniello4113 I thought the same as a 16yo🤣, Barry Sheen 'The Legend', whilst riding my suzuki blue AP50🤣🤣. I am now 60yo😁, riding a GSXS1000F😁, still think I'm 16yo🤣🤣🇬🇧🇬🇧
Un Gran Piloto ,está corriendo por los cielos con otros grandes ....
Not Barry Sheenes last race.
He raced classic bikes at Goodwood some time well after this meeting.
Funny hearing all the old names!
Barry won at Goodwood revival in 2011 on a Norton in a classic bike race. Wonderful fellow.
+Howard McKay he died in 2003 ??
+Galaxy Crisp LOL
+Howard McKay That is impossible! Barry Sheene died in 2003
He was immortal.
The win you refer to was in 2001 and not 2011.He died in February 2003
The US. should have done more to promote motorcycle racing. Tennessee has areas where a TT type race could be held on public roads.
I was having a slash in the Gents at Phillip Island watching Foggy race, looked over and he was in the stalls as well. He must have been commenting for Aussie TV. Anyway it's amazing how much further modern Moto GP racers crank their bikes over.
UNO DEI MIEI MITI...CIAO BARRY!!! :)
The tyre technology in those time was crap compared to now. I can personally vouch for that.
Donington 1984 Superbikes. But he did race later on a Manx Norton in the early 2000's
I saw him win at Donnington in 2001.
Talking about bike frames barry was saying how 2 brothers in england built him a frame he wanted an Mclea has one also...
Is Bazza on the XR45 Suzuki?
Haslam always was Mr quick start rider
Ya mean he's gonna SPLAT?! OK let's see that, sounds titillating. 😀
happy birthday barry
Does anyone remember when was this race ? That looks like a very old version of Donington Park.
Er, I think that should be:
Barry Sheene’s Last Race.
that wasnt barry sheene,s last race his last race was on a manx norton in 2000
2 Strokes ruled the waves " till honda bought the FIM.
2STROKE separate the men from the boys
Barry is doing well i raced against that honda briefly the v four honda was so complicated they stopped making it it was loaded with torque...
I Love You. Have been with You all the time and Wil remain. My Love.
I WAS THERE!!!
So was i 👍
Murray voice the staple of racing for me i was always into real road racing an the tracks were alway the big draw for me to go to europe...i was starting right now just as barry is doing his last race...i 8 months later or so did my first on a 750 FZ....it was a work on a stock bike...1987
Kellie Brooks.... The commentator isn't Murray Walker, it's Chris Carter!
Not his last race, that was at Goodwood revival in 1999 on a Manx Norton.
Who won in the end?
Any idea how I can get hold of a copy of the whole race?
what a wonderfull sound that's what I miss
And the smell of bean oil
Yes that 2 stroke zing with a 2 into 1 micron exhaust system😁. Oh & that stream of two stroke smoke behind you when well into the red line @ full throttle, magic😁🤣🤣🇬🇧🇬🇧
iF this is his not last race...and when? and where that video? if u have,Upload please...
B R 7 forever.............
Why the secrecy over the date and venue?
1986 this? Sheene was 34 years old.
I was sitting in turn 1 :D
The best
Don’t smoke ! It kills you ( some struggle to grasp this simple fact )
