Description: I've been threatening to do this for years, hand colouring my original black and white photo, taken trackside at Mallory Park, to the actual sampled colours of the day. Sheene starts from 14th at Mallory Park, UK, and wins. Even King Kenny Roberts of the USA described Sheene as the greatest motorcycle racer of all time. Here he wheelies out of a bend. Losing was never in his plans.
