Today I saw this very bike at the National Motorcycle Museum just out of Birmingham. The whole experience of seeing this bike and so many others is somewhat overwhelming. Also on display was the first Norton and first Triumph ever built. If ever you have a chance, a visit there is well worth a look. Thanks for your wonderful work Fred.

Amazing film. So sad watching Barry at the end. Taken way too soon. RIP.

Incredible story of a extremely hard working and self made man 👏

What wrong to posh to jump

Blimey! I cant believe Barry's last win is so far back. Time flies for sure... Love that man.

Wow! What a great story and so well put together. A fitting epitaph for Barry and a wonderful peice of motorcycling history preserved. Thank you.

What a beautiful bike.

Some amazing memories there to be cherished forever!

MANX, et Barry 😂😂

People forget how important Sealy was. He buit the frames for Ducatis first GP bike, that frame influenced their first big road bikes and became the Ducati signature still admired today.

Putting so much effort into making a bike correct is a remarkable thing when so may of the bikes claiming Sheene heritage have such thin stories under their paintwork.

Nice interview Fred , have you ever thought about a training session on stripping re building Manx Norton engines one to one ? on a chargeable basis , Regards Mark Whalley

Great Story Fred really enjoyed the video Mark

A great vid. 😢

Very good to watch . I remember Fred bringing Barry into Molnar prescion to watch how all the Manx parts were being manufactured for the build . I was a young engineer at the time and Barry stood with me watching me make the fork sliders on the big Harrison lathe . I can remember making some very special parts for it as Barry was quite involved in the whole thing . Great times !

Work of art.

I have just watched this video - what an absolutely magnificent tribute to Barry Sheene and testimony to you too Fred. I was fortunate to see Barry win the Classic Race earlier in the year at Donnington on your bike and of course watch Valentino Rossi win the Grand Prix - what a day 👍

What an incredible video to watch, you certainly have fantastic talent. Hats off to you sir !!!! An awesome tribute to a racing legend.

Best video on you tube,we would like to see more on manx nortons!!

I feel privileged just to have watched this video it was a real tearjerker at the end thank you to all concerned you never know what’s around the corner on the iPad just waiting to be discovered.🇬🇧

Bless every one of these marvellous people. We shall never gaze on their like again. Thank you for the upload. I loved it!!!

Such a great tribute to Barry Sheen What a glorious bike .Thankyou Mr Walmsley you are a great engineer It brought tears to my eyes What memories. "

I bloody loved this ..

Fantastic life story

I wonder how much the bikes weighs

Thank you for posting. This has been a real joy to watch. Thank goodness there are still engineers like Mr Walmsley, still out there in England ,keeping our motor racing heritage alive.

What a lovely tribute to Barry 😃, thank you. Like many like me who were privileged to have watched Barry race. It's great to see him remembered in this way. Fred, your work is joy to see and you will be remembered too. RIP Barry.

Absolutely wonderful story, l loved every minute of this video, l watched Barry Sheene race many times in the 1970's he was a joy to watch. What a lovely Manx Norton, such a beautiful engine, a work of engineering art.......🙂

It was Barry that got me into bikes as a kid. You know it’s in the right hands when Fred says he’s kept hold of the levers for 20 years. It’s nice when things get done right.

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

That gave me a tear in my eye so lovely .sad and happy

I watched Barry at Donnington in 2002 win on the Walmsley Manx. I first saw him race at, if memory serves, Brands Hatch at the tender age of 17 in 1974. I remember how he lit up the world of M/C racing through the seventies and was appalled when he had the big off at Daytona in ‘75 and then in ‘82 at Silverstone. A very talented racer, outside of his television persona I learned he could be very demanding however, he had a prodigeous talent and as someone who has attempted to race motorcycles when I was younger, I have always been envious of his superb ability. As to Mr Walmsley, I am well aware of his reputation but my experience lies more with factory Hondas than anything else.

Lovely heart warming stuff. What a beautiful bike & what history, well done!

Great job Barry will be quit proud to see it

Have finished watching the video ….Barry was lucky to have you as his race engineer. You were a major factor in maintaining Barry at a deserved winner. …I feel lucky to have seen him win some of his last races on your bike !!

Great works, thanks for sharing

Extremely interesting thank you. Top video. Well done.

I shook hands with Barry in the infield at Malory Park when I was ten years old, it was still grass then and they were working out of gazebo tents. I turned around and he was riding side saddle towards me along the grass, as he got off the bike, he smiled and shook my hand, I was so proud to have been there, my folks couldn’t shut me up all day. God bless you Barry Sheene, a showman, a gentleman and a bloody good rider. Rest in peace sir. Thanks Fred for putting a slice of history back the way it should be. #7 🙏

this brings back so many memories I was at Donnington Park in 2002 to watch Moto GB with Valentino Rossi and when all the main racing had finished all the other guys started going back to camp to start finishing packing up to head back home, we had been there all weekend but as soon I saw barry i thought I'm not going anywhere until I had seen barry race, he obviously won the race and when he did his lap of honour helmetless of which today he would probably be fined, it brought memories back of the transatlantlantic races with the Americans and everybody cheering him as world champion and although he did the parade lap after it also seemed sad to see the circuit emptying at the same time and at the time I thought to myself how times change when i did get to leave Donnington I couldn't get out for ages I was just stuck there for ages no wonder the others scarpered early but I wasn't to know that it would be one of his last races so no regrets, great video I wonder how many of your neighbours know the history involved with that bike

Wow fantastic, well done Fred and all the gang. 😢

What a possesion, please dont hide it away. It desreves to be back at goodwood winning more races.

So we'll done baz would be smiling

Congratulations lovely to watch I can remember still there watching the race just been absolutely spell bound absolutely lovely to see his boy back together. Thank you Michael

What a wonderful video, thank you for sharing those wonderful memories of a champion bloke and a great motorcycle. It was a joy to watch

my hero

Heart warming! What a great video. Thanks so much for that.

I was at Donington Park when Barry won there, he got the loudest cheers of the day as he did his usual parade lap, with helmet on the tank and the laurels round his neck.That was also the day Craig Jones secured Triumphs first 'modern' National Championship (Jnr. Superstock) for a very long time.

Fantastic upload.
