Barry Sheene - sad loss

[plipton]

After a long battle with the dreaded "C" Bazzer finally popped his cloggs.

A true british biking hero from the 70's - he will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the link.

I only heard late last night and couldn't find a thread (obviously didn't look in the right place.

I'm not a biker but I used to follow Barry Sheene's career. He was charismatic as well as a fantastic rider.

A very sad loss.

He was mentioned in The Times Obituary a few days ago. Cant remember the exact words but he basically said that Sheene was a great character who he always admired and will be missed.

Wasn't they having a few words as of late? Which is a shame as I think they are both top notch, both being british motorcycle champions.
