There was a cracking documentary on the other week about his life and loves. it was hosted by Vic Reeves. At the end of the programme Vic was given the chance to ride the bike that Barry won the world championship on around the Oliver's Mount race circuit in Scarborough where Barry started his racing career.

Then there was Mike "The bike" Hailwood, died March 23, 1981

Spent so much time at breakneck speeds on 2 wheels on the IOM and died in Birmingham in a car crash


Quote:
On Saturday 21 March 1981, Hailwood set off in his Rover SD1 with his children Michelle and David to collect some fish and chips. As they returned along the A435 Alcester Road through Portway, Warwickshire, near their home in Tanworth-in-Arden, a truck made an illegal turn through the barriers onto the central reservation, and their car collided with it. Michelle, aged nine, was killed instantly. Mike and David were taken to hospital, where Mike died two days later from severe internal injuries. He was 40 years old. David survived with minor injuries. The truck driver was fined £100.
