Definitely. A great racer and a nice lad if you were ever lucky enough to meet him.

RE: Steve Hislop
I remember it as if it was yesterday.

When the "incident" was announced on SKY News, I just new it had to be Steve somehow.

Terrible few hours waiting to find out and eventually heard by email confirming that it was in fact Steve that had been involved in the "incident".

Brilliant on a bike, on roads and short circuits, and just a straight forward down to earth guy to boot.

Very sadly missed.

Malcolm.

113mph on a F2 350 Yamaha was rather good .. way back in 1987 I think.

Hizzy was the best rider that I rode against. One of the greatest ever in my opinion. And a good friend.

A really great racer, so entertaining to watch, such a loss, R.I.P. "The Flying Haggis".

RE: Steve Hislop
Had the pleasure of being overtaken by Steve in practice, I was bombing along thinking I was doing well on my 350 then Steve came past on the RVF750 - enlightening would be an understatement ..

RE: Steve Hislop
One of my first heroes of the sport was Steve, I remember as a kid watching TV footage of the TT and that Norton making my spine shiver, God knows what it was like listening to it from the side of the circuit.

2003 was such a sad year for motorcycle racing losing Steve, David, Daijiro and Barry all within the space of a couple of months.

Yeah AntG is spot on we lost many greats that year. Steve was a rare talent in being a short and long circuit icon, 113mph on a 350 f2 in 87 says it all, a very talanted guy that's sadly missed.

Steve definitely influenced me when I  brought my OGK helmet. Great fella missed by us all.
