RIP Michihiko Aika
« on: April 20, 2013, 12:12:12 AM »
Being a behind the scenes guy and long retired, he died last year but news is only spreading now and google wil not show much

Michihiko was one of the brains behind the development of the world beating 50,125,250,350 & 500 gp bikes of the 1961-1967 period, president of RSC, involved with the RCB's and Freddie Spencer, directing the honda collection hall towards the end of his carrer.

That's an awesome list of accomplishments. TG wouldn't it be cool to have a guy like this spend a couple hours with our own little projects?
