Barry Sheene Championship Jacket

Barry Sheene's Memory Lives on in Collectible Paraphernalia
The mould was indeed broken with the birth of Barry Sheene in England in 1950. This motorcycle racing hero was known for his good looks, charm and living life for all it was worth. While motor bike racing was his first love, he also had a keen business sense that made him one of the first racers to make a large amount of money in endorsements. In 1975, a horrible crash at the Daytona 200 threatened to ruin his career, with fractures to his left thigh, right arm, collarbone and two ribs, but this plucky sportsman was racing again just seven weeks later. He went on to take back to back World Championship titles in 1976, with five wins, and again in 1977, with seven victories. Sheene retired from racing in 1984 and left England to move to Australia shortly after. Sadly,

Sheene's life was cut short by cancer, which he succumbed to in March of 2003. He left behind his wife, Stephanie McLean, and their two children.
