    From MCN au:- Oct 8 - News - Norick Abe is the third in a recent run of three road racing deaths in Japan. Moriwaki tester Masao Okuno and Dunlop tester Noriyasu Numata both recently died from injuries on a racetrack while last weekend Norick Abe was killed in a road traffic accident

    Norick Abe killed

    Former MotoGP star Norifumi "Norick" Abe has been killed, riding near his home in Kawasaki, Japan.

    Abe, 32, was killed when he collided with a truck making an illegal U-turn.

    Abe debuted as a wild card in the 1994 Japanese Grand Prix. He went on to record 3 wins, 17 podium finishes in a 144 race career spanning 10 years. Abe had been competing in Japan as part of the All-Japan Superbike Championship.

    I saw this sad news this morning myself in my morning motorcycling emails.

    Public highways are incredibly dangerous places for motorcyclists, far more dangerous than race tracks.

    The punishment for a momentary lapse of attention or a small misjudgment can so easily be death.

    A legend, with a totaly unique style the way he sort of leant off the bike with his chest facing the tank of the bike, and turning his head towards where he was going.....and a nice guy too - super polite. Very sad.
