"Local police say the collision occurred on a four-lane municipal road, when the driver of the truck made an illegal U-turn, colliding with Abe who was closing in on the truck from behind on its righ-hand side.

The truck driver told police he realized he had mistakenly taken the wrong way, and tried to get back on track"

How sad to lose one of the greats of our sport-I just couldn't believe it. God bless you Nori. :cry:

How awful. Sounds a bit like what happened to Hailwood. RIP Nori... a great character and a truly great star of mortorcycle racing

A friend sent me this link to the Yamaha tribute.

He saw it on SpeedTV.com the US motorsport channel's website forum where there are pages of tributes.

RIP Nori [/url]
