Default Sad.... Another great rider killed by an idiot!

My favorite Japanese racer, Norifumi (Norick) Abe was killed today in a car accident only about 4 hours ago. He was on his motorcycle and crashed into a truck that suddenly came out from the opposite lane, making a U turn where no U turns were allowed.

He was only 32 yrs old.....

He had lots of fans in Japan because of his riding skills as well as his fun and friendly character. He will be missed a lot.

These are pics from the Suzuka 8 Hour Endurance Race that was held in July this summer. His team won out of 150 teams.
