Yeah, he came to Australia just as GP racing was becoming popular with success of Gardner and Doohan and commercial television picking up the live broadcasts of each round. He got the gig of commentating alongside the worlds worst commentator who had no racing history but owned a Harley so the network gave him the gig. Sheene was very popular here (maybe because the other dipshit made him sound so good).
