Who IS this guy?
)for me? It was taken at last year's Motegi round. I thought I knew who he was at the time, but as I'm going through my pictures now I'm having a brain fart.

That...is six-time MotoGP race winner, Tadayuki Okada of Honda NSR500 and NSR250 fame. He finished second in the championship to Mick Doohan in 1997...great guy. You can buy a brand new '09 Arai Corsair-V Okada replica...just like he wore at last year's Italian Grand Prix one-time appearance.

That's what I was looking for! And now I feel like a tool, because I couldn't remember. It's all coming back now. I remember being excited to see him, because earlier in the day I had been checking out one of his old bikes and some old leathers in the Honda Museum. I was also able to meet Randy Mamola and Angel Nieto during the race weekend among several contemporary riders. Not sure why Okada's name eluded me for so long, but thanks so much for reminding me.
