I went to the Barry Sheene festival at Scarborough yesterday. They had his championship winning bikes on show. They also rode them on a parade lap. Phil Read, Mick Grant and Steve Parrish rode the bikes. The photos are on the phone ( using the iPad at the mo)
I read that article - there was also a good article linked to it from Matt Oxley a few years before. It's mind-boggling how amateurish it all was - can you imagine Marquez knocking off after winning with three rounds to spare? Then there's all the mechanical stuff - wrong triple clamps, wrong gearbox, misrouted choke cables. It's amazing he ever won anything... Mike
yep, the very definition of "seat of the pants" (were the other riders of that era in a similar state I wonder?)
