Its over three years since Steve Hislop, the motorcycle racer, died in a helicopter crash in the Scottish Borders. The BBC website has a news item saying an FAI is to be held.
He was an interesting chap, quite focussed like motorcycle racers are, and had a mixed career. When he was good, he was very very good, the rest of the time his demons held him back from the kind of success he had potential for. Last time I saw him was giving a television interview at Knockhill during qualifying for the British Superbike round - he was resting up after an accident, it was later that week that they discovered he had a broken neck.
There's a good biography of him that has been out for a few years now, and the family and I visited the room dedicated to him in Hawick a few years ago.
