  • Round six of the 1991 World Bike GP Championship at Hockenheim featured a truly breathtaking battle for supremacy in the 500cc class and Wayne Rainey (Marlboro Yamaha) and Kevin Schwantz (Lucky Strike Suzuki) took the race down to the wire as they pushed themselves and their mighty two-stroke machines to the absolute limit!

On the final lap with only a few corners left to make his move, Schwantz made a spectacular late-braking pass on Rainey to take the lead and the race win.

Schwantz was later famously quoted as saying that he had to “See God, then brake”, such was the level of bravery and faith required to make such an audacious overtake on his rival.

  • The glorious return of one of motorcycle racing’s biggest names to the Isle of Man TT is the stuff of legend and still one of the most talked about events at the fabled road race more than three decades on.

In 1978, multiple World Champion Mike Hailwood returned to the iconic 37.73-mile TT course, after a self-imposed 11 year absence from the world famous circuit. Few doubted Hailwood still possessed the legendary skill which had brought him 12 TT wins, but a comeback at 38, after more than a decade away, was still a daunting prospect. 

With a fine handling, but under-powered Ducati V-Twin at his disposal, Mike the Bike went head-to-head with fellow great Phil Read, riding the much faster 4 cylinder Honda in the opening race of the TT festival. Amazingly, Hailwood roared to victory in the Formula One race. 

This new t-shirt in our 'Powersport Legends' range is our tribute to the late, great 'Mike the Bike' Hailwood.

  • Barry Sheene MBE was probably the most famous two-wheeled star to have ever come out of Britain and the cheeky cockney was an inspiration to millions of motorcycle racing fans. There were other British champions who achieved more on the track, but the articulate, witty and confident ‘Bazza’ brought his successes to the attention of the British public – and they took him to their hearts. He was equally famous for overcoming his numerous crashes – at one time he had metal plates in both knees, 28 screws in his legs and a bolt in his left wrist!  This t-shirt is our tribute to one of the Bike GP greats and a motorcycle legend who is sorely missed.
