We need more people like Barry Sheene in this world. A real character who simply called it as he saw it.

I remember getting Barry's book 'The story so far' from my mum and dad for Christmas, 76 I think. I read it cover to cover over and over and still have it. Barry Sheene and James Hunt brightened up what was a pretty grim time in the UK. I raced Motocross through my teens. I did a little racing on my own TZ350 but I know I just wasn't prepared to take the risk that my imagination showed me.

That was my era of attending the Philip Island GP, riding my bike down from Sydney. Miss it, don’t do it anymore. Miss Barry too as everyone does.

Awesome bloke & a true champion in life & racing No hurdle too high RIP mate

What I loved about Baz, he was a legend in every body else's mind, not his own. Never up himself, and just lived life to the fullest. Died way to soon.

True gent and legend; RIP Baz

Strange. I’m now 52 and smoked a lot. Can’t imagine having died at this age. Barry lived a lot more than I have though.
