Sky TV - Barry Sheene/Classic Racing - 4pm today

[kwik]

Oh my word, my hero is on tv. For those with Sky, channel 442 - ESPN Classic. Showing Europe vs USA series 1977 from Outlton Park and then British GP 1984. I believe it's being repeated throughout the month as well.

I'd never even heard of this channel before today but I'm off down memory lane and to swoon over a real racer 8-)

Damn, hardly ever watch TV so never bothered with Sky etc. Would be good to see it tho' Sheene was a character and I'm sure the racing would be good to see!

No probs; I watched it Missed the first 10mins as I had gone to Fowlers but bloody hell, fantastic viewing. Is it my imagination or did racers have more personality back then? I'm extremely biased where Sheene's concerned but generally I mean?

I must admit, I didn't see much [racing] difference from that British GP 1984 to BSB now ... especially the speeds! As for the lates 70's racing, deffo a difference I can't remember the name Steve Packer :-? And suddenly I was once again that annoying 10yr old kid whose dad couldn't go anywhere on his bike without meeee ;D
