CHAMPION SHEENE

Barry Sheene MBE was probably the most famous two-wheeled star to have ever come out of Britain.

The cheeky cockney was an inspiration to millions. There were other British champions who achieved more on the track, but the articulate, witty and confident ‘Bazza’ brought his successes to the attention of the British public – and they took him to their hearts. He was equally famous for overcoming his numerous crashes – at one time he had metal plates in both knees, 28 screws in his legs and a bolt in his left wrist!

Eminent motorcycle journalist Nick Harris narrates this superb biography. In various interviews, Barry himself recalls most of the events he won between 1968 and 1984 including his 1976 and 1977 500cc World Championships and his 1973 FIM 750cc Championship.

This movie features 45 minutes of extra footage, including the 1998 Assen Centennial and the Barry Sheene Memorial event at the 2003 Scarborough Gold Cup. There’s also footage of Bazza talking about his career on two, four and six wheels and putting the motorcycle world to rights! Plus: rare footage of the 1979 British GP, the 1981 Mallory Race of the Year and tributes from MCN’s Adam Duckworth and Matthew Birt.

This is the ultimate record of a true superstar.

CHAMPION KENNY ROBERTS

A mentor, a manager and the sensation of international Grand Prix racing in the late 1970s - this is the story of America's ‘King’ Kenny Roberts.

Kenny Roberts arrived on the GP scene after winning the American Grand National Championship two years in succession. In his first year he won the 500cc World Championship - and then went on to make it a hat trick with overall victories in 1979 and 1980! Action footage delivers the full story of a glittering racing career.

BIKE GRAND PRIX 1983 - BRITAIN DUKE ARCHIVE

The 1983 British Grand Prix at Silverstone will be remembered for the close racing and the spectacle of talented riders so near to the limit at the same time. The 500 race was a hard fought battle between Freddie Spencer, Kenny Roberts, Randy Mamola and Eddie Lawson with Barry Sheene duelling down the field. In the 250 race the lead changed regularly, whilst the 125 race saw 15-times World Champion Angelo Nieto clinch one of his most amazing wins ever. The sidecar race sees Rolf Biland relinquish his lead to Egbert Streuer after much changing of positions. Simply great racing!
