Message: <blockquote data-quote="okow" data-source="post: 103767" data-attributes="member: 14">Barry Sheene retired and settled down in Australia and was a sports commentator. He died of cancer in 2003. I still remember his horrific accident and I had a poster of him pointing out the various bolts, screws and metal plates implanted into his body. I remember him explaining that immediately after he crashed (something like a 160-170MPH crash) and stopped sliding on the track, he examined himself and could not turn his neck, feeling a sharp pain - his collar bone was protruding and poking into his neck, then he looked at his hands and saw his wrist bending 4 inches below where it should bend....At one point in his career, Sheene was racing with metal plates in both knees, 28 screws in his legs and a bolt in his left wrist.T he Silverstone crash was different," he said. "That was major - I could have ended up legless. My left leg was hanging on by the femoral artery." ....what do you call these breed of people?Both Rocket Ron Haslam and Fast Freddie Spencer are running race schools for track riding. Haslam in Donnington Park and Freddie in Las Vegas.I almost signed up with Freddie's school several years ago but unfortunately my trip to Vegas got cancelled. Darn!I met him however, when he was in KL at the Jaya Puri Hotel (now PJ Hilton) with his manager the legandary Erv Kanemoto! He called off a last minute duel with Lawson which was supposed to be scheduled at the Batu Tiga track.</blockquote>
