Yes it has. Barry sheene had just about retired from two wheels when I first knew of him and into driving a Toyota in British touring car's / before truck racing. He was the one that made me want to ride. So age 41. I still do. Good job. Because women ' just sint women these days lol..

@@burthabard8316 £6000 today (2018) £42,000 so relatively cheap for a GP Bike, however manufactures were no doubt subsidising the cost to some extent, as the 'Road Bike Market' was the big earner. Unfortunately for Suzuki they came well unstuck as when in 1986 they launched the RG500 Gamma, it was soon banned in most Countries of the World due to emissions, they were blamed for Global Warming and consequently only a relative few were sold. However I did not think they were causing the slightest effect, and bought one in 1989 - one of the last made. Terrific Bike, that cost around £4000 then. RG500 CH (1989) Pepsi-Suzuki "Kevin Schwantz" GP Race Replica, Interestingly, the last of the street RG500s (the H model) had almost the same power output as the original works racers!

Or the heart attacks they'd give themselves when he said "push your bottom back as far as it will go". My god, there'd be outrage of the highest degree. It was a much better world back then. Ohhh but she was glorious wasn't she? I used to watch Magpie only to see Jenny. Barry Sheene was my hero in the 70's, still is, my life then was girls, Strongbow, bikes, and going around the country to watch races. We used to pass Barry driving his own transporter between races, got his autograph at Brands Hatch. He was a real down-to-earth person. Brilliant

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

The clip wouldn't even be aired today, as someone said their careers would be over, all the fur she is wearing would spark outrage alone, but was normal and fashionable back then, as was smoking on TV, look at the way the interview is conducted too, slow, relaxed fun chat, not a 100mph jumpcut like nowadays, glad i was born in 71 and seen it all as a kid, society and civilization is pretty fucked now.
