Sadly taken from us at only 32 by a truck performing an illegal U-turn in front of him back in Japan several years ago. He was riding a scooter...
This angers me, people being killed by people doing stupid illegal things.
Miss the fact we lost a talent and a life.

Absolutely, taking the time to talk about him tonight has kinda bummed me out that he's no longer with us.
Of course, with motorsports, the irony of doing thousands of miles at incredible speeds on dangerous machines and then losing your life in a traffic accident, often, as you say due to someone else's stupidity, is even crueler.

He was sublime to watch. He rocked up at the Japanese GP at 18 years of age, nobody knowing who he was, and come the race, was beating the giants of Mick Doohan and Kevin Schwantz at his first attempt, until he crashed out. Phenomenal.
