fark...so young....

[kralster]

best was when he was about 19 or so riding as a wild card in japan 500cc race and we was balistic, was leading the race over doohan and crashed in the final few laps, what a champ.

RIP Norick.

Thats shocking! RIP

[m3gtr]

im so saddened.... thats a gut wrenching death...

i have to ask, and it might be sensitive but how fast do you guys think he was going for a 500 cc professional to not see the accident coming...?

a truck turning across 4 lanes is pretty obvious.. again...i know its a sensitive question but it was begging to be asked...

RIP Nori Abe...
