RIP Baz... loved ya work
Secoh.. I suspect that he wanted to keep things pretty low key and private... I think he'd like to be remembered as full of life and wit; and as the great sportman he was.

2014 Colorado LT - Oversized Whitegoods. Kid/bike/track hack/horse hauler.

What a character.
When he was racing GP bikes he used to pat other riders on the arse as he passed them. Then when he was in front he used to give them the finger behind his back
He invented the back protector, which is now compulsory for racers at all levels. He also campaigned to improve safety at Grand Prix Circuits.
You will be missed Barry.

I was reading an article in an old Wheels magazine about Barry & Dick Johnson doing the Shell massage ad, then I hear the news that he's dead. A great man, I always loved his "That's nasty" comment with every crash. RIP.I take photos of shiny things with wheels. www.rohanphillips.com
