Thanks for the memories!!!!.. Fantastic BARRY SHEENE!!!! 🏆🏆🏆

This is my childhood right there. Watching it with my late father

Barry Sheene. Total gentleman, sorely missed. Top top man! RIP brother.

R.I.P to Norman Brown and Peter Huber, who died at that race. :/

Back in 1982 Keith Code wrote a Go Fast road racing book called, A Twist of the Wrist, where Keith offered a metaphor suggesting that, The Human brain offers a rider $10 of cognitive function, if you waste $8 on being Fearful, you're only left with $2 for going fast. When I put that statement in perspective, my mind went calm and my pace increased, cutting full seconds off my track times. I also formed a new sense of confidence that naturally moved me up front and I began winning races. I'm reminded of Codes philosophy for going fast, every time I watch Kenny. "The King" race. He's never rushed or in a hurry and he never forces himself into making an early mistake. He patently sits back letting the tires warm, evaluating the conditions of the track and the competition ..before calmly moving to the front and winning this race ...while Fast Freddy finished 2nd but eventually won the 1983 500cc MotoGP Championship.

Race stopped when Huber crashed into a slowing Norman Brown. Brown died instantly, Huber was airlifted to hospital and died later.

Thank you for posting this and the explanation of what happened.

TheMan, The Myth, The........wait for it.. LEGENDARY KENNY ROBERTS!!! Born in 58 so definitely a fan of him and his style.

高校の帰り、倉賀野の地味な雑貨店に何故か専門誌が置いてあって、ふと手に取ると惹き込まれて気付けばバイクに目覚めていたあの頃… バイク雑誌を全部読み漁り、この年は500ccクラスが最も熱い年で、両雄譲らず最終戦へ…って表紙を飾っていたのを今も思い出す🙁 Very Most Hot Hot Season!! Field of dreams!!!! バイクには孤独なロマンが……

love it @ 19:50 barry just lights a ciggy as hes being interviewed and fans can get near them to ask for autographs

Very nostalgic viewing. I was in Woodcote grandstand for that race and remember it well.

I was at the race that year and watched from Copse. Usually I watched from the mighty Stowe Corner and I am glad I didn't this time. King Kenny and Fast Freddie were both brilliant.

That was a sad race that year My neighbor was killed at that grand prix his name was NORMAN BROWN a very young man.

My hero Norman Brown died that day 😢

Thanks for sharing the vids 👍🏻😎

I was watching the race on TV that day,real sad day

It was dreadful after Barry won 2 x 500cc World Championships that all the Japanese works manufacturers never offered him works rides, instead giving those rides to mainly the Americans and Australians…..and snubbed Barry.

I was at Stowe that day and can see the collision now with both riders flying through the air after an explosion of a collision. Norman Brown had his hand up and cruising after a bike failure but was on the racing line with the pack on his tail.

Silverston was such a fast circuit!

Had a laugh at Barry lighting up a smoke during the interview.

Loved King Kenny, the main man! Good to see a young Eddie Lawson or a younger Eddie I should say

10:53 *The Square 4 Suzuki was indeed a formidable Machine*

This is by far and above the best, most competitive and most dangerous to ride era of Grand Prix racing. And how appropriate, not if an American would win but which one.

thanks!

LEGEND

The knee gets put out as a guide so the rider knows how far his bike is leaned over. Many riders will slightly raise the knee just after it touches. Riders have also saved a crash by holding the bike up with their knee until they can get the front tire back under them.

な、懐かしい！片山さん走ってるし！

19:56 completely and utterly unthinkable in this day and age!

No traction control here bro 👍

Barry Sheen. Roberts once said. The thought Barry would drill a hole in helmet. Just so he could smoke while riding.

It was just explained to you that the US riders weren't familiar with the British caution flags. And if you bothered to pay attention to the entirety of the clip, you would discover that a slowed-down Kenny Roberts was angrily gesturing at officials to put out the red flag.

well more than 30 entrants in this race!

Barry lights up a cigarette during an interview!!!! Awesomeness 👍🏼😎

Barry Sheen, what a bloke

I quit watching GP, or now WSB or whatever they call it, the day they dropped 2 strokes. Those racers were the best, to take a 300 pound 150-170hp 2 stroke 500cc bike with a power band of maybe 3000 rpm with a kick of a mule, and to dance them at those speeds. Those racres were the best to ever ride at the top level. I know the racers of today are great but I doubt more than one or 2 could ride those 500cc 2 strokes as well as the greats of that era. The throttle control, the ability to steer with the throttle, amazing. A few who raced the 500 c GP bikes who moved to the 4 strokes said the 4 strokes are so much easier to control due to the power band and power delivery. To control those old 500's took the skill of a brain surgeon, maybe 3-4 could do it at the bikes limits, Roberts, Spencer Mamola, Lawson Doohan later on.. Those men in their prime could wipe the floor with rossi in his prime, no doubt in my mind.Those bikes had more hard hitting power, less suspension, less tire grip yet they rode the wheels off of them. AHH to me the best road racing ever to be seen was that era. Todays is like stock car racing, it is all about the bikes not the riders, so little real passing and side by side racing. Now the guy on the top Honda bike walks away and wins due to their bikes being the superior bike 9 out of 10 times.

2:56 The guy that dies during the race.. sad (#46)

RIP Chris Carter

How years this race and motogp

ce fut un duel de titans kenny roberts avait déclarer au sujet de spencer:ce gamin est invincible en short track

They dragging of their knee helps to shift the weight going into the curves to compensate for the sintrifical forces coming off the stright aways..

balance and stability

Seems to have been censored.

Sir please upload assen 1998 250cc

Vernon Cooper's finest hour, the vile, odious little man, had no regard for riders safety. considering he was Clerk of Course. The ACU in those days was run as a old boys club

This commentator sounds like Murray Walker!

Barry loved a cig

国産単車が世界を席巻！ ２輪４輪共に個性豊かなレーサーが競技を盛り上げてた♪

46+ civic car drivers with the huge muffler

I have a short clip on here of Norman browns grave......titled Norman browns grave

I final understand the 'reason' for the 'GP starts'. If the engines weren't turned off while at the starting grid, everyone would have passed out, due to the fumes, lol!

push starting a GP bike during the start. That's amazing

YZRの始動性が… ピットでジタンを吸ってるバリー・シーンカッコいい

Only 12 Rounds & must have been 40+ riders on the grid.

centrifugal*

Shambles. I apologize to American fans and riders that day. What an embarrassment that the course officials couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery.

The track officials really fucked that up that day...the riders especially the Americans didn't know wtf was going on...unreal.

KATAYAMA 😃

when men were men and traction contol was in your wrist NOT in the electronics like today's girls on 4 strokes

I loved the 500gps why don't they bring it back I guess it's cos they are 2 stroke.?

Randy Mamola with 69 world championship points. Noice.

@ajfleming254 How was he killed?

Imagine that many bikes on today's Motogp grid. Sweet to see Americans 1 2 3 4

awww Murray Walker

y the cut, wut happened

Was Ron Haslam a US rider?

Barry Smoking pilot, smoking bike, (laughs)

OMG, funniest start ever.

All riders including any foreigners should be briefed before racing what flag signals are to show a race stop situation nowadays all flag posts show red flags them days just Clerk of Course on startline

5 dead in GPs that year.

Eddie & Kenny Freddie mamola sheene

locket ron！

Get er bucked

Hay bales???

where the hell is the crash????

Spencer was an interesting character. Little known fact, he wouldn’t race unless he could attend church on race day. Was also a guy that hated competing with any injuries at all.

MOTOGPとは表記しない。

@lMisterMeaner Huber (i think), was slowing down right in the middle of the pack because his bike stalled, an unsighted Norman Brown plowed into the back of him at a very high speed.

No Respect

honda suzuki yamaha

Love the push start.. anyway here's a novel idea let's go back to this.. we can have a separate class for it... Only the best riders will race to the top without all these electronic AIDS and tech people and a computer guy you get where I'm going let's go back to basics

Stick to the sewing and gardening buddy!!!!!

Back then when men were men and women were women.

3 cylindres HRC, logique, sur k LA fin HS

I think the pushing you bike starts were almost as stupid as the running to your car starts at LeMans.

Americans used to be good at bike racing

No disrespect to the riders who were killed, but look at the "safety" barriers. Hay bales? A wall that barely covers pit lane? I know racing in the past was hazardous and there were many questionable tracks, but Silverstone is supposed to be the birthplace of motorsport. And then to top it off how disgusting it was, the Australian rider is lighting a cigarette. It's a good to know that things have improved a lot in 30 years.

✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🌐 @#rolfdejonge@

Light 'em up Barry!!!!😂
