Lost count of times I watch Barry on this bike, golden days never to be repeated.

[@stevecurd3944]

abs fantastic i had posters of Sheenes bikes on my bedroom walls in the 70's,great to see there still alive & not trailer queens

[@geordienufc3132]

I had the pleasure of watching BS at many English and continental tracks back in his heyday.

[@jamesweber4938]

Me too. The Transatlantic races at Easter, Cadwell Park and Silverstone in the 70's. I was at Silverstone in 75 (?) when Barry and Kenny were vying for the 500GP championship and Barry's bike blew a head gasket (I think). Johnny Cecotto was there and I have a photo of Agostini going around the pits on a Honda monkey bike !

[@jjrider6758]

A great sound from an iconic race bike ! - Tragically, if the UK government has it's evil way this will soon become the only way we will be able to hear the sound of ANY real bike running ever again..

[@johntooth9294]

Hi .I went to Hamilton Island of the Coast of QLD Australia many years ago , and they had a collection of Barry's Bikes there.. He was still alive then ..Keith Williams had the Resort.. Is this one of his Bikes from there.. Because all those are gone now ..Be good to hear from somebody...Thanks..

[@TheBezaleel]

It sounds like a real race bike, a fickle evil beast.

I love the smell of two stroke exhaust gas in the morning... 😋

[@nploates]

Perhaps the people demonstrating the bike could at least have acknowledged those watching at the end?

[@thebones]
