Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy Part 1 Full Race | Revival 2016

There was plenty of drama in the part one of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy race at Revival this year. The two wheeled spectacle featured classic bikes from Norton and Triumph cutting through the downpour with legendary riders like John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop in control.

That was some of the most entertaining racing I've watched in long while

I'll never forget seeing this live. It was frightening and excitement at the same time!

You might think you look cool on your motorcycle, but you're not Dragging knee, in the rain, while riding a museum piece cool, that's for sure.

Spoke to the Rudge owner today at Oulton Park (where it went well against much more modern tackle), he told us to watch this race...brilliant win :)

[jeffnehring]

Respect to bike owners for telling 'em to race it hard - balls out!

[UpdogGolf]

Watching this with my father in law talking about his days hounding corners of a 500cc triumph... this racing is special

These bikes are museum pieces but they’re still going for it, proper racing, great to watch. Awesome riding.

This is absolute great stuff... this proves one thing... "The Rider, the Bike and the Conditions", three factors to fail or succeed. Just love the ancient races much much more than the modern one's!!! Goodwood shines again ;-)

A 1933 Rudge going that well. Absolutely unreal. Good wood always has amazing racing.

[georgebeard]

Even while falling he maintains a tight grasp on the handle bar

Edit: apparently he was trying to grab the clutch to prevent the engine from stalling. Absolutely brilliant!

Charlie Williams and Mike Farrell beat the lot on a 1933 TT Rudge, heroic, splendid, superb!

[wordreet]

Epic riding and epic entertainment!!!!

I love that this Barry Sheene MT race was kept going by the race controller for as long as possible in the rain. Barry was The Rain Meister and would have approved!

[duroxkilo]

ignore my ignorance pls, this is the first time I've watched this type of racing.. I don't use the word often but i'm willing to make an exception here: i fckn LOVE this on so many levels! ;}

My '70 BSA Royal star was the best transport year-round for eight years in sun and rain driving to work in Vancouver. Love these old dears.

[ogtsi]

These guys are nuts! This is so awesome!! 😂😂.

[volt]

Could watch this over modern gp anyday real competition of skill

[stevefowler]

As Kenny Roberts said about racing in the rain...It's still a race, it's just raining.

[viking]

This is why us old guys like nostalgia.

[thesausage]

Crikey that’s a fantastic race. I honestly cannot watch any road racing now, I still enjoy speedway but any other motorcycle racing I can’t get into. This, though, is awesome! All of the Goodwood racing is just brilliant, no matter the category.

[jimhiscott]

I absolutely am enjoying this race!!!! Classic bike with Iconic riders! It doesn't get any better and the worry of someone getting killed is not so great. That's the best part.👍👍
