George-Brown-032
Lond established as Britain's top sprint and record breaker, 56 year old George Brown holds many recoeds with his famous Vincent engined machine. Home built, they are extremely specialised for their requirements , but are rather more a conventional motorcycle than that of Alf Hagon. Concerned more with absolute speed, Browns Machine is streamlined and fitted with a four speed gearbox. While it is not quite as light as Hagon's, it is quite possible that it is potentially the faster of the two, but not quite so accelerative. Brown has achived a flying quarter mile speed of 189mph.

Sheenebookazine17
It all started here. Sheene and racer Gordon Keith, winner of the 1964 Manx Lightweight Grand Prix, pictured by Nick Nicholls at a Brands Hatch practice day on 17 February 1968 - two weeks before Sheene made his race debut at the Kent circuit on Saturday 2 March. Barry, 17, was there that February day to gently run in the engines of two Bultacos his father Frank had tuned for the coming season. Barry returned the following week to complete the job and went so well he ended up racing them. At the time, Frank was the famous Sheene because of his tuning talent and it was the bikes not the young rider, that made the picture newsworthy. (You tube)

For most of the 60s the famous Sheene was dad Frank. Although a top two-stroke tuner, it was still only a sideline. Nine to five he worked as a maintenance engineer at the Royal College of Surgeons. This shot of him on a 50cc Itom-based Sheene Special was taken at the college in Holborn where the family had a flat and Barry spent his childhood. (You Tube)

Aren't there just times when you wished you belonged to the AA? Sheene pushes in after crashing the Kawasaki 500 Mach 1 at the Thruxton 500 in May 1970. He was teamed with Dave Croxford who had built up a commanding lead before Barry threw away their hopes of victory in the famous production race. (You Tube)

A few weeks after his Daytona crash, Sheene bought himself this second-hand Rolls-Royce to cheer himself up. The famous personalised Barry Sheene racing plate followed. This picture was taken at the Match Races at Brands in April 1975. American rider Dave Aldana is the back seat passenger and the driver is Merv Wright, who moved from America to Britain to manage the Texaco Heron Team Suzuki squad the following year. If the picture had been taken a few minutes and few miles down the road it would have captured Aldana introducing the drivers of Kent to the American practice of mooning.
