Barry Sheene Poses on GT750 Kettle

[Roger Ackery]

Hi just found this on the Web,
Those were the Days !!'

A bit late replying Roger, but that's a cracking photo of Barry back in his Suzuki Ambassador days and doing his advertising duties with a kettle.
As you said, "those were the days".
I actually met him in the UK during one of his last trips here, what a character and sadly missed.

Ah but this is the bike he actually rode.... a GT550. Barry with his Mum at his home in Wisbech in 1974.

He'd rather've owned a kettle Paul, but couldn't afford one during his "living at home with mum days."
And what's with the two cats sat on his bike?
Perhaps he'd have liked to have owned a British Black Panther.

He always loved cats, and had a lot of pics taken with cats sat on the bikes

There's a video on the net of him riding a Maui Blue 750A reg no.is PGN17P which is still around according to DVLA site - just imagine if it was in your garage
