Somehow Barry just had the 'mojo' to be the best at what he did, many can argue who was officially "the best rider of all time" but to me Barry always nudges ahead for the win.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

i met him at a "transatlantic trophy" meet at brands hatch .
i say "met" him .he signed my crash helmet.
