Barry Sheene bike

For those of you old enough to remember Barry Sheene, here's a link to sixty-one (yes 61) photo's of his restored 1976 500cc World Championship winning RG500 Suzuki :-

Wow amazing. Barry Sheene was one of my idols when I was younger. Then there was James Hunt in F1. What is quite mad to think about is that Barry Sheene's race bike is nothing compared to what is now classed as a road going bike. I wonder what he would be like if he was here today and went against the likes of Rossi on a 300bhp beast. :eek2

Quality - loved Barry, a real icon.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
