I met Barry once many years ago. Mate and I on our way to Oulton, marshaling and we came accross Barry in his car stuck up a grass bank as he had swerved to avoid some cows on their way to milking. He was on his way to pick up Honda GB riders from their hotel. Saw him in the paddock at lunch time and we were bribed with a wod of stickers not to tell the team what has happened LOL Icon_lol
