RIP Norifumi Abe (1975-2007)
I have been a fan since I saw him for the first time on the NSR500 wildcard at the Japanese GP years ago. An amazing style, very talented rider and a nice guy on top of that. I met him once in the paddock in Assen in 2006.
Sunday the 7th of October he was killed in a road accident. A collision with a truck making an illegal U-turn. The nightmare of every motorcycle rider....
RIP...
