Barry Sheene Motorcycle racing's jet-set superstar (PB) - Description
Published to great acclaim in 2006, this
magnificent illustrated biography of Barry Sheene is now available in
paperback. One of history's great motorcycle racers, Sheene proved his skill
with 19 Grand Prix wins and two World Championships. He added ambition, intelligence
and vision to his Cockney charm — and it made him formidable. Starring in
high-profile ad campaigns and in London's fast social set, he played the media
to charm the public, and his personal courage in facing serious injury made
them love him more. Even after retirement Sheene remained famous — he was
racing's first two wheel superstar.
