    Very sad news

    Norick Abe dies in road accident

    http://www.crash.net/news_view.asp?cid=6&id=155570
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    sad news indeed.

    just shows it chaos on the roads, even someone with as much skill as top racer with years of expenice can get taken out just like that

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    Jeez, thats no good. He was an absolute legend on a 500.
    I remember his first race where he almost won as a wildcard.

    Shit. No wonder so many racers won't ride on the road. Not good. RIP Norick.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Sad news indeed and shades of how Hailwood died with a truck taking him out.
    Cheers

    Very sad. Norrick was a nice kid and a great rider.
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    Bugger - but your comment is sooo true. Some of the 'bulletproof' guys round here need to reflect on this sad news.
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
