I met Barry a few times and each time he was very open and honest (considering one of the times was a very short discussion on his words about Aus drivers) and a great person to speak to.
He was a brilliant racer and a very good commentator. You could always tell when he wasn't interested in the racing as the quality dropped off but when he was interested he was excellent. He will be missed |

Brands Hatch will renamed the Dingle Dell Curve to Sheene's Curve to paid tribute of the great motorcycle rider in the sport 500cc era.

Bloody cancer eh?
I think of Sheene and it takes me back to when I was hankering for a bike, it was a few years after his championships, but he was still such a big figure, along with Roberts. RIP |

I never met Barry, but I remember the big accident (the second one that is). How anyone can come back from that and have the bravery and motivation to race again is beyone me. The pictures I saw of him.......... and the bike after the crash made me cry so much, I was only a kid when it happened. For the motorcycle racing world to lose a man with so much talent and guts is the biggest loss it could have.
