    But this guy was special.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Speaking of legends. Seeing as it's the Japanese GP...what better time to remember this legend! RIP Abe!

    There is a headline over on Crash with the Abe headline and the 1994 debut of the guy.
    He had that style, looking very much like Doohan on a bike.
    (rock star too wasn't he ?)

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Bit stiffer looking I thought. And always had his nuts buried in the rear of the tank.

    I met him a coupla times.
    Lovely guy with limited English, and incredibly slight looking - I don't know how he wrestled that YZR500.
    A great loss in terrible circumstances...

    Now that Edwards is gone we need someone like Crutchlow, he can be a funny guy and Moto GP needs that. There are too many colourless PR robots in the paddock.
    Miller is another free speaker, both when he wants to be funny and when he's angry. That team could make headlines for more than just the action on track.

    Don't know why we are getting so excited about 2015, there's still four races left this year.
    There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop

    Ok, I may have got it wrong but thought he had been a singer/rocker in Japan as well. Maybe he just looked like one with the long hair ?
    We have had a few die over the years in tragic ways (Hailwood getting fishnchips for one). But yes ,sad day.

    The situation was described to me as "dying from a broken collar bone" medical stuff up apparently.

    Oh ok, My rough memory was of him riding a scooter and a truck turning across his path,(much like Hailwood in the UK and why I mentioned it.) ??
    Sounds like you had way closer contact Oscar.
