Many of you will know Brian, probably Steve Hislop's biggest fan, and a great follower of real road racing, throughout his life.
Brian had Friedrich's Ataxia, but never let his disability stop him. For many years he went to the TT, and occasionally the Southern100, and every year he attended races in Ireland.
He was the inspiration for my wish to have a Steve Hislop wing at the Joey Dunlop Lodge, as I hoped he would once again be able to attend the TT, and I know Steve would have wanted that.
Brian died last week, and his funeral will be this Saturday, at 10.30 am, Mortonhall Crematorium. The cortege, led by a trike, will leave from Brian's family home at 9.30, and travel to Edinburgh in convoy. Brian's hearse is a sidecar.
No flowers, please, but donations to the Friedrichs Ataxia Society in Brian's memory would be appreciated.
