Description: The definitive biography of motor cycling legend Barry Sheene.

Valentino Rossi dedicated his 2005 World Championship win to Barry Sheene, which was a fitting memorial to the man who helped make motorcycle racing the hugely successful sport it is today. Barry won the British motorcycling 125cc championship at the age of twenty and was twice World Champion in the 500cc class, despite two life-threatening crashes

BARRY is an intimate and revealing account told by three people who knew him better than most.

Steve Parrish, fellow bike racer and now BBC commentator, reveals just what he got up to with his 'partner in crime.'

Nick Harris, one of Barry's greatest fans, wrote and broadcast on all his major successes and ended up by working alongside Barry as a television commentator.

Barry's widow, Stephanie, has collaborated and written a foreword. She reveals Barry's great insecurity, their family life and his long and brave fight against cancer before his death at only 52.
