Barry: The Story of Motorcycling Legend, Barry Sheene - Hardcover

When Valentino Rossi dedicated his 2005 World Championship win to Barry Sheene, it was a fitting memorial to the man who perhaps more than any other made motorcycling the hugely successful sport it is today. Indeed one recent poll of enthusiasts name Barry the greatest rider of all time. He was one of those rare sports stars whose success transcended the sport. This biography is the definitive telling of his remarkable life. It is written by Nick Harris with the two people who knew Barry best -- his wife, Stephanie and his long time partner in crime, Steve Parrish.

Nick Harris is a long standing motorcycling journalist. Steve Parrish rode with Barry for years and is still heavily involved in the sport. Stephanie Sheene and Barry were the iconic golden couple of the 1970s: She now lives in Australia.
