Barry Sheene
The rescheduled date for the Barry Sheene Memorial Dinner has been officially announced as Saturday August 7th during the British Superbike weekend at the Kent race track, Brands Hatch.
Guests will include Steve Parrish who will give an insight in to what it was like being Barry’s team mate and best friend. Margaret Smart and Paul Smart, Barry’s Sister and Brother in Law along with their son and current racer, Scott will be along also. It is also hoped that James Whitham will be along to interview some of the BSB riders.
On show will be two of Barry’s ex GP bikes; the XR14 Suzuki 500 and the OW53 Yamaha 500. Also making an appearance will be the exciting new Icon Sheene Bike, being built in memory of Barry Sheene.
There will be a fork buffet and the cost of the night will be a mere £25 a head. During the night there will be a raffle and an auction of items that money can’t buy which include:
A framed career history and photo presentation personally signed by Barry Sheene.
A framed Fiat Yamaha team shirt presented by the team and personally signed by Valentino Rossi.
A pillion ride with John Reynolds on the Worx Suzuki GSXR at the final round of BSB at Oulton Park.
