I met Barry Sheene when I was around 10 of 11 years old , I'm now 54 , still one of the greatest moments of my life . Amazing man who lived life to the full for himself and his fans .
I used to go to Oulton Park to watch the Trans-Atlantic Trophy, great pure racing, no electronics, just race bikes, i always stood at Deer Leap out of Lodge Corner, no traction control, those guys would come out of there with the front wheel up in the air and the engine screaming, i was only a kid in total awe of these guys, absolute LEGEND'S
I knew Barry & his family,. We all miss his cockney accent. He made a very unique contribution, to the world of motorcycle racing, as rider & commentator , in the UK & later Australia. God bless him 🙏
Only a minor gripe but I am sure this is the 1984 transatlantic meeting. I got Roberts, Baldwin and Croz's autographs in the pit lane area and a mate who was a marshall rescued Freddie out of the gravel at Redgate. Sheene was still recovering from his injuries at Siverstone in '82 during the 1983 season. Lucky enough to sit next to him and Stehanie in pit lane at the 1984 meeting. Unfortunately the season he retired from racing.
Gardner, Roberts, Lawson, Spencer..
Such a shame there's no longer a transatlantic series. Great to watch
Listening to Barry gives you goosebumps. Taken way too soon!

The best part about it was that all of them "got along and respected one another"! GOD BLESS THEM!

Barry wearing Gary Nixon gear. Two great badasses in M/C racing. One Brit, one Yank. Love it!
King Kenny....any tougher he'd rust.
Great era with not too much yammering about politics 👍👍
Legends all of them 👌🏻😎
Bummer...it's over already!? I was so captivated that the 13+ minutes just flew by. Thanks for sharing this gem!

This is 1984, Spencer's 84 honda nsr500
They didn't call him King Kenny for nothing. Barry was not only a great rider but, a Rock Star rider.
Pure GOLD!
What a great finding! Thanks guys.
I had all these races or at least the highlights on VHS and I lost it somehow cuz life. I WISH someone would post the whole thing PLEASE!
Yes,this is definitely 1984,not 1983............
