Akira was a pretty proliffic crasher in his day (Both his collar bones are now titanium he broke the original's so much ) but he was a dead nice bloke, and was one of the few rider's who could make a Kawasaki fly, speaking of which...That's the nastiest crash I know, when I was watching it I knew he was dead when his tire delaminated at 206mph (he hit the ground at 186mph), but the thing is he was fine and racing next sunday
