That was quick, Eugen !
His death was made even more difficult for his family since legal matters prevented them from getting any sort of financial compensation : indeed , Christian Léon , still a full-time Honda employee, was testing a competitor's machinery in violation of his contract, and the insurance company considered that his Honda policy was not applicable and refused to pay.

Indeed, he was Korean at least by ancestry; unfortunately I don't recall the particulars right now, but I know I have an article somewhere... but where? What I do recall is that he was an avid pop singer, and had at least one record published (in the days when not everybody was able to do so by means of homerecording and CD writing...)!Originally posted by philippe7
And finally : Takazumi Katayama was , I have often read , born in Japan from immigrated Korean parents, and either kept his Korean nationality and ran a Japanese licence, or took the Japanese nationality at a later stage.....anybody having reliable info about that ?

I'm too dim to work out how to post pictures (even when told how east it is) so may I be permitted to ask this question?
In the late 60s and early 70s, Derek Minter usually rode Ray Petty Nortons. What unusual technical feature did these bikes have?

Another reason for the relative obscurity of his win was that he was initially disqualified after having taken part in an inpromptu rider's strike immediately before the start, giving a rare win to the Ad-Maiora of Maurizio Massimiani. I believe it took a few weeks for him to get his win back, and Ad-Maiora never improved on second...Originally posted by philippe7
His first victory, at the 1981 Italian GP, went completely unnoticed due to another Frenchman, a certain François Mitterrand, scoring another kind of victory on the very same day...
