==Death== In the 1982 [[Finnish motorcycle Grand Prix|Finnish Grand Prix]], held in [[Imatra]] under very wet conditions, Taylor and Johansson's bike began to aquaplane and slid off the road, colliding with a telephone pole. Emergency services attempted to remove him from the wreckage until a second sidecar team slid off into them, killing Taylor. He was buried in the local cemetery at Pencaitland, and a memorial to him was erected in the village in December 2006. A memorial also stands in [[Beveridge Park]], [[Kirkcaldy]], overlooking Railway Bend on the old motorcycle racing circuit. Jock Taylor also has a memorial in Imatra, near the paddock of Finnish championship racetrack.
