1979 Silverstone Bike GP Barry Sheene v Kenny Roberts T-shirt

The greatest 500cc race of them all? Well, for just about any British motorbike fan it was. So hard fought and entertianing that like the French F1 car duel better Villeneuve & Arnoux the same year, it barely matters who prevailed. This was motorsport as pure entertainment - and all topped off with Murrey Walker's immortal commentary "Sheene takes his gloved hand off the handlebar and waves at Kenny Roberts". Barry Sheene was everything that was great about 1970s British motorsport - which is why we honour his with this Barry Sheen T-shirt
