I wish I had not heard this news tonight, I am so very sad. I have every reason to be very depressed regarding the loss of our great talents, but honestly, if you had ridden with Steve, you would know that he was one of the greatest riders that ever sat on a racing motor cycle.I have lost a friend. a former team mate, and someone I have always admired for his skill and his passion for the sport he loved. As someone said when we lost David at the TT,say hallo to the others Steve, God bless you.

Well put Nick, its this kind of tribute that speaks volumes about Steve.
Another hero lost, what a year this has turned out to be.
