- How Much Motorbike Racers Used To Get Paid. This week I interview Steve Parrish to see what it was like to be team mates to Barry Sheene. He also talked me through racing motorbikes in the 70's and 80's and how much motorbike racers used to get paid.

Anymore ex racers you'd like to see? I really enjoyed this one! The winner of the signed gloves was @shadowred1980! Loads more prizes coming soon just make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss out. If @shadowred1980 can send me a message on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with your address I'll post the gloves straight out.
Gary Lingham, Steve Webster sidecar world champion.
Get foggy on.. he loves to talk
Hickman would be a good shout. Some craic about the TT would be great 🤜🤛
Shane Byrne
Guy Martin (does he count as an "ex racer"?)
What a great interview and Steve Parrish is such a top bloke. Sounds like he's had an amazing life. Thanks for arranging this video. Hope there's more to come. 👍
Thanks Paul! Plenty more to come don’t worry
I used to love Steve's commentary on BBC motogp coverage
He’s a brilliant guy isn’t he!
I was gutted when BBC in the uk lost moto gp I think the free to air was better for bike racing in this country
Awesome interview, Steve Parrish is a top bloke, really enjoyed that 👍
Thanks a lot Ian!
Steve Parrish Bloody legend. Saw him race many times. You just imagine what it must have been like when you put him and Barry together. Different era and one I miss. It will never be the same again. Too many fun police.
Great interview, Steve Parish is such a character. I remember meeting him at the Triumph factory launch of their Moto 2 venture. I was looking around trying to find my Mrs and eventually found her chatting to Steve. He had managed to flog her a copy of his book and was signing it for her.
He's the past master at money making sidelines and probably the biggest practical joker out there.
😂😂 I can’t say I’m shocked at that story!
Really, really good interview, you let Steve P speak and just kept him rolling on - so much better than interviewers who dominate the exchange. Great insight to a great era
Thanks so much! Steve had the stories we all wanted to hear I was never going to interrupt!
I could listen to Steve Parrish all day. That’s why we love motorcycle racing. Great interview Taylor!
Barry Sheene’s girlfriend, later his wife, used to live over the road from me in Chester back in the 70’s. Barry used to turn up in his Rolls and he’d always stop and chat to us ‘kids’. 40+ years later they lived up the road from me at Carrara on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Wow what are the chances of that! Amazing!
@@tmac77 It takes ‘stalking’ to a whole new level!🤪
I am old enough to remember seeing Steve racing in the 70s....
Really enjoyed this video..Have you thought of a interview with Rocket Ron.
Steve has always been one of my favourite people in GP racing & is probably still faster than most of us on our best day!
Thanks for a great interview of one of the sport's true gentlemen.
Thanks so much!
Loved this interview, takes me back to when me and my dad used to go to the British grand prix year after year but I had to get in the boot to get in so my dad avoided paying for me, then whilst at hawkstone Park once for a British motocross grand prix Barry Sheene was there to award the trophies-I crawled under everyone's legs to get to the front of the crowd and he leaned down pulled me up and went "alright mate" just before giving Graham Noyce the trophy-amazing memories
Wow what amazing memories Geoff!
Nice one Geoff! "Rolls Noyce" was another playboy sportsman. He famously did not turn up for a gp once (Hawkstone '84 i think) and also fell off a balcony on his wedding night! 🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃
Great to have Steve on, brillliant Taylor, would love to hear your dads story!
Thanks so much!
i love the cozy vibe of these interviews, a friendly chat sharing great stories. thank you Taylor for making these videos!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic! You keep featuring my childhood hero’s. Never got more than the occasional photograph in a magazine or the very rare tv race coverage of these guys back in the day. You have a great channel with amazing access to a generation of racing superstars who many of us old fans love to hear tell racing stories. Thanks for sharing.

I actually had thr privilege of meeting Steve at the festival or a thousand bikes, all I can say is that he is a complete gent,and was a bloody good rider,
What a great interview with Stavros. He's always seemed a very modest bloke. I was at Silverstone and on the inside of Copse Corner. We were Suzuki fans and cheering Barry on, then his bike packed up and so we all thought Stavros was going to win and then it all happened right in front of us and down he went. Steve was a bloody good rider and later twice European Truck Racing Champion. This was a very good interview Taylor. Keep it up. Do more of these with the same generation, as Stavros and I'm sure there'll be lots of stories from the old racers, as most have so many stories to tell.
Stevie you are a pure legend. A great choice by Taylor. Steve has got so much he can talk about best to get him in the pub few beers a few memory pointers thrown in and you have got a story teller for the rest of the night. hope to see you in IOM 2022.
Awesome interview and so many good stories!! Thank you Mr Mackenzie 🙇♂️
Awesome vid, Taylor. Mr Stavros is an absolute legend - I could listen to him, and his genuinely amazing stories, for hours on end.
Me too! Thank you
Great interview. As a 10 year old back in the mid 70's I used to bunk off school and ride the 15 miles or so on my pushbike up to my local circuit, Donnington Park and sneak in when there was a big meeting coming up. Everyone was friendly towards me and Barry and his mechanics would let me sit on his bike, and answer any questions I had. Great memories, great times.
When I worked at BSB I remember talking to Roger Marshall at Cartagena test, could talk to him all night, he said when he worked for Honda and how much they paid him etc etc, some of the tales were immense
I would love to hear an interview and some of Rogers tales, what a legend and proper old school no nonsense.
I can certainly try and get Roger on for an interview Daniel. He has so many interesting story’s to tell I agree Simon
Great interview, terrifically entertaining!!
Brilliant interview with Steve ...thank you Taylor...so many wonderful insights. Cheers Marty from Melbourne🇦🇺
Great vid taylor keep them up like stavros said many things have changed in racing since he and your dad were racing but i have fond memories of racing in the 70s 80s 90s best of luck to you and your brother for the 2021 season and lets hope we all can get to see you all racing with spectators again hope you do well with your sponsors and keep up the vids brilliant
Thanks a lot Alan!
Nice to hear from Steve good interview just what's needed on these cold wintery wet days and during these crappy corona virus ridden times keep up the good work look forward to the next time : )
Thanks a lot Malcolm
Mate that was fantastic ,i was a young teen in the Hailwood vs Ago days and ended up racing an RZ350 proddy in my 20s and being in Oz we used to miss out on all this stuff,it was just word of mouth.thank you
This was a really enjoyable watch . Thankyou , the best half an hour ive spent in ages
Thanks so much Gary
Hilarious interview Taylor. Steve was a great guest. Looking forward to seeing your next installment.
Thanks so much Marcus
Brilliant interview and insight to a golden era of racing..Nice one Taylor.
Just the best interview ever.
Never understand why people don't warm to Steve.
What an absolute mad lad.
Thanks for the insight and massive giggles dude 👍
Thanks so much!
OMG I also started on a BSA Bantam in 1971, recently followed Steve Parrish down the road leaving Wimpole, before lockdown.
Thanks Taylor, that was one of the best interviews I've seen lately, very interesting, with a top bloke
Thanks Alan!
This was a superb interview Taylor. Steve Parish has so much knowledge. Fantastic.
Thanks a lot Michael
Thanks again. Legends sharing their experiences. History and experience is priceless.
A really great , informative interview , I have only just come back to following racing and have started Trackdays , I remember Steve well . Good open questions allow the interviewee to speak , well done
Thanks 😁💪🏼
Really enjoyed that good interview brought back some memories.
Thank you
Remember Steve Parrish approaching the Creg at TT 1984 on an FJ1100 in the Proddy Race.....he threw it onto his right knee and waved at the crowd whilst pipping the Horn....great rider and always up for a good laugh.....and he was a mean shot with the Soda Syphon at the Wet TT Shirt too !!
Awesome 😂
What a great listen, my era in bike racing. Big fan of Steve Parish, genuine bloke 👍
Thanks!
Great upload, really enjoyed the entertainment from Steve.
Took me back !
Thank you!
What a great interview, Steve is still sharp as a razor, met him a few times back in the day,
Absolutely he is. Thanks!
Loved this. Taylor, you are a good interviewer. You didn’t interrupt, your personality complements by your guests.... thanks for posting.
Thanks Max that means a lot!
Hey Taylor. Enjoyed that thank you. Steve is in the same town as me in Mallorca! Such a lovely fella isn't he and always great fun to listen too.
You also got a nice little column in MCN explaining what you're up to.
Hope things are going ok for the coming season. Cheers for now.
Thanks Charles, he is a great man
My mid 70’s hero was Steve Parish .. amazing rider ..after taking my test on my mates 250.. I bought a new GT 380 .. my pride and joy ..
Absolutely brilliant interview, great to delve into the history
Thanks Ross!
Seen Steve Interview some people, never him being interviewed. That was just too funny, loved the licenses plates, what a personality
Splendid interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it 👏
Thank you John
Well done for giving space in the interview to enable Steve to share his stories, great to see that you also enjoyed the interview!
The stories are what we all wanted to hear not me rambling on!
Great interview.. thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks chaps 👍🏻
Thanks Ryan
Another great interview Taylor, really enjoyed that, would love to hear Roger Marshalls tales, hope you get on the track this year.
Thank you! I’ll be doing more interviews
Excellent to hear the Old Bandit Parrish chatting about the old days with somebody like yourself Taylor. Great job mate - and yes, I’ve just subscribed! You and your brother take care out there. I look forward to seeing you at a BSB weekend soon. 🤞
Fantastic episode Taylor - gotta love Stavros - could listen 2 his stories 4 hours. Already watching again (& the ads!).
Haha thanks Mike
very good interview mate i really like it ,hope to see you on the grid for 2021,all the best
Thanks a lot Ian!
Cracking video Taylor, keep up the good work both on and off Track- have followed Motogp for years and have many memories watching your old man coming down craner curves in GP's back in the day !
Thank you Simon
a nice refreshing honest interview, the anecdotes he could tell.
Thanks John
Great interview Taylor, good luck in your efforts for a ride.
Always been a fan of Steve Parish, I'm young enough to have been 10 years old watching these guys race, I was like an excited wasp about motorcycle racing, it's what gave me the bug and had it ever since. We've all got stories of early motorcycles in the UK, very different time.
I'm still riding now and just as excitable.
All the best.
Thank you! Memories that last a lifetime, I love to hear all of the stories
great interview Taylor absolutely loved it
keep up the good work
Thanks Julian
Brilliant interview. Thankyou for making the effort guys.
Thank you!
informative and entertaining buddy. remember seeing you, your brother and ya dad at Almeria 4 or 5 years ago. really hope you can get back racing this year. keep it the good work fella.
Thanks a lot Craig. I hope we can all get back enjoying some racing action
Excellent Video ....Thanks Man
Brilliant interview, such a legend.
Very entertaining Taylor, thanks for this and future interviews
Thanks Adrian
such a great interview Steve Parish is one of a kind racer joker and I could listen to him all day long thanks for sharing
Me too! Thanks Paul
Another great vid, all the best for this year
Thanks Simon
Glad the number plates were mentioned. Used to see PEN 15 cruising around North Hertfordshire when I lived there. Great interview.
Thank you
Lovely to hear amazing stories from the past without any pretention. Great to hear Graham passing on these tales and tips to up and coming racers.
Very true Andy, I could listen to them all day
Well done Taylor, great interview. One of the best characters in all of motorsport.
Thanks Stu!
Great, great interview.
Top Bloke, bloody good rider and Truck Racer .. Roger Marshall, Keith Huewen. This 58 yr old remember's those guy's well. Still love listening to those guy's. Bless Barry he was a legend. Saw him at Oulton on his Akai bike. I was on my RD 250 ! CONGRATS TO Tarran . Mega chuffed for him and your family.
Great, great interview. Awesome stories from an awesome era from an awesome old school character Steve Parish. I was a kid in the 70's and there was no TV coverage to speak of but I knew who Barry Sheene and Muhammad Ali were! Good luck Taylor with your quest for your budget, you deserve one for your efforts and the way tackle the problem with humour.
It’s amazing really isn’t it! I guess a lot of people know who Rossi is 😂
Good one💁♂️Mr Parish is always good value ,his and Charley cox commentary where as entertaining as the race🤷♂️👍
Had the pleasure to meet Steve on few occasions and he is an outstanding individual and a true Gentleman. Great content fella 💯 keep it going and best of luck securing a ride buddy.
Thanks so much Andrew!
When Barry Sheen retired and moved to the Gold Coast,Queensland,Australia in the 80's/90's he became a Motorsport presenter for Chanel 9, a major TV Chanel in Oz at the time...He made himself so popular he literally became a household name to those not even into motorsports.......He is sadly sadly missed
Really enjoyed that, thank you Taylor
Thanks Thomas!
from a old 63 year old loving your channel young Taylor keep it up son
Best video yet ! Fantastic stuff. I could listen to Stavros all night !!
Thanks Ian! Me too
I bloody loved that interview Taylor and you come across good also as the interviewer. Have subscribed and looking forward to the next interviews you do. Have a great day fella. :)
Thanks so much
Great interview Taylor.
Thanks Andy!
I enjoyed that, was always a bit on the fence with Steve Parish but seems like a good guy who has led a very interesting life. Good luck with your venture, hopefully you will get back on the grid.
Thanks Steve
What a nice interview, thanks
Thank you
Thanks Mate! Great Vid! Made us chuckle!
Thank you Dan
A great interview.
enjoyed this massively ..keep up the good work ... made sure i watched all the adverts 👍
Thanks so much Sean!
Great interview..thanks.
Thank you!
Interesting stuff Taylor. Nice work sir. Always interesting to listen to Steve Parish.
Thank you
Brilliant! More of this please Taylor 👍
Thanks Peter. More coming!
Watched a lot of your videos including the latter two 500GP videos before this but I have to say that this is the best one so far… Stavros was an absolute legend. Top class fan content. Great craic. 😄👌
Thanks Jamie!
Just discovered your channel Taylor excellent interviews...re Steve Parrish i love his TT commentary and from what i remember was a pretty good rider himself.
I’m too young to have watched Stavros race, but the commentary between him and Charlie Cox was gold. Like listening to the old men in the pub. Great stuff.
Haha I agree!
Great vid, I remember from a kid he used to visit the village I'm from to go and see Andrea and Barry, one time I was 17 and me and a couple of mates on Dtlc 125s were screaming down a back lane to the village and Steve's motor home pen15 was in front of us, no road to overtake so we took to the verge at fullbelt to get past, my mate ant was first and as he was flying past the motor he hit a verge cutout for drainage and nearly did a flying w as he flew past, we were crying with laughter and often wonder if Steve remembers
Steve guested on a radio show i used to do, Dessert Island Discs, great guy and so friendly. Nice interview.
He is a genuinely great guy, thanks Paul
That was fantastic. Found by accident but liked and subscribed right away.
Great to hear, thanks David!
Excellent interview. Love the old stories and the doctor incident had me in stitches 😂
Thanks😂
Great video , i remember watching steve as a 15 year old ,mad on bikes 👍
Thanks Paul
enjoyed the interview have subscribed keep it going.
Thanks a lot!
Great interview. It was very entertaining :)
Thank you!
Brilliant interview, Taylor, well done. I did some club racing in Scotland in the mid-1970s and you just needed a full road licence, be a member of a club (Bon-Accord, for me), pay your SACU dues and apply for a race licence. You sent a Postal Order to the organising club with your entry fee for each event. They then sent a brown envelope (no money in it though) with your allocated race number, a list of the races you could enter on the day, a set of “regs”, and a handful of car-window stickers with details of the race and venue. All great fun though - happy days. Hope to see you at Knockhill in April?
If only it was so easy these days! Amazing
Was at Copse in 77 when Steve dropped it. I think the crowd sighed with sadness.
Was there in 79 at Copse with my now departed wife, my girlfriend at the time, seeing Barry stick his fingers up at Kenny. I was there with a bunch of mates and we all laughed when we saw it. Ran on the track at the end kissed the tarmac.
That was the days you could go round the track, free, in the morning on a coach. Tyres screaming round the corners.
Very interesting watch Taylor. What a laugh it must have been back in the day. So good to have reference to Barry Sheene. My hero and the one who got me into bikes when i was a teen.
How about some more chats with racers from back in the day?
All characters in there own right.
Well done mate. Onwards and upwards 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏍👍
Absolutely, I love to hear all of there stories and hear how much racing has changed, also how little it has in parts! I can certainly get a few more interviews lined up
@@tmac77 Thanks for your reply👍.
Roger Marshall or Mick Grant would be fantastic and both very much still involved with racing. Sure some stories to be told by both.
Get yourself up here to Olivers Mount this year and do a parade lap. Sure that would go down well👌🏁🏍
Well done Taylor another brilliant video. I could listen to Steve's stories all day long. Next video I'd suggest shakey as theres a few stories from his book that would make good viewing.
Great idea, thanks Lee
I have been a bit off the pace watching the videos over the last few weeks, but that was my favourite yet. Really interesting and just hilarious.
Thanks Jack!
