Aye, I used to marshal there back in the day when him and the other suspects used go round in anger.... They were too scary to really appreciate
then!!

Good prog and not a repeat for once !.
sureley they could have found someone better to present and ride the bikes, stavros would have been ideal.
i remember seeing the man himself at Goodwood racing with Damon Hill,he got the most cheers that day.
RIP mate

I liked the role Jim Moir (Vic Reeves) played. Most similar programmes end up with the 'celebrity' presenter being the main focus and not
the real subject. Jim got the job done without taking the limelight.

Yeah, shame. I was thinking that. Also that many, many avid bike fans would give their right arm to do what he did.
Also did not know he did btcc or truck racing.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I bet he would of mentioned the engineering and design behind the bike and how special each engine was.
I also recon sheene's son would of spoken to him with more respect instead of "don't crash it, go slow"

I didn't get the Vic Reeves link either.
It would have been nice for Barry's lad to ride his bike (assuming he can ride)
Guy Martin would have ridden it to its limit.
I saw Barry win his last race at Donnington as mentioned in the program even at the end in all that pain he was way better than his rivals.

Guy martin to ride it, Jim did not look very fast on the Kawasaki.
Did he not write it? May be that's why he was on it.
Have you seen road about Joey Dunlop, fantastic
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.
