Gutted, to have lost another of my racing heroes.
My memories are the same as the above mentioned, also
his battles with Mick Grant who rode the 'Green Meanie' as the Kawasaki
he rode was known. Ironically he died on what was 'officially' this years
Daytona race day, many of us who followed Barry will remember
that bad high speed blow-out he had there in 1975 and was lucky
enough to recover. I remember that Silverstone GP he battled with Kenny
Roberts well, had us on the edge to the last corner. And not least, he's
our last British World 500 GP champion !
My own fond memory is at Cadwell Park when I was 15 and gave him
a Star Bar (which had the star, Roger Marshell wore on his helmet and
leathers) I said to Barry, 'Roger sent you this', Barry says 'Thanks, I'm
starving' and ate it. I'm glad to say I have this photo still today among
many others. I will post it at later date, when more organised due to
moving recently!

My thoughts are with Stephanie, the children and all the Sheene family.
Bless him, even if he didn't like the TT course! He was one of the best
and had a good sense of humour! Bet he still had that last FAG!
