[edit] Tone
I've added the tone template due to some uneyclopedic passages, particulary:
Sheene's commentary style was idiosyncratic, to say the least. Never letting the audience wonder for a minute exactly what he thought of a rider, bike, or team, his biases were completely transparent. He combined insight into the skills of riding, and the vagaries of the professional circuit, with a penchant for the occasional double entendre delivered with a trademark grin.
In later years, Sheene became involved in historic motorcycle racing, usually thrashing the awed amateurs behind him.
I don't feel I know enough about the subject to fix it myself.Teiresias84 04:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
