Barry Sheene: One Year On

Tomorrow, March 10, marks a year since we lost Barry Sheene.
MCN remembers this true racing legend with a Memorial Special in our issue out on Wednesday. We include a moving interview with Barry’s wife Stephanie, a focus on Sheene’s secret collection of race bikes and a tribute from Sheene protégé Chris Vermeulen.
And there’s a thank you from Sheene?s chosen charity CLIC. MCN readers helped raise over £45,000 for the charity (Cancer and Leukaemia in Children) after his death. You can still contribute by visiting www.clic.org.uk
And just so we don?t forget the cheeky character that made Sheene so popular, we?re featuring some of our favourite quotes from the man including, in response to a BBC interviewer after his Daytona crash in 1975: ” What’s the last thing to go through your mind when you crash at 175mph? Your arsehole. ”
