Abe truly was a one of a kind rider.

Never rode at less than 100%. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, always exciting 😀

There's a reason everyone still remembers Abe. What a legend.
Remember this race and being on the edge of my seat, falling off it a couple of times with nerves after what happened in 94. The moment he crossed the finish line, sweet sweet relief. RiP Norifumi
