Was wondering what he was up to nowadays

[steve-e]

Last time I saw Yoshi he was working for a brake company at SBK, that would be a long time ago, probably 1999ish when I was on with Clive at world stuff


p..s must wake Ben and Brian Gray up, I'm sure Brian would know what Yoshi's up to now

Yes he used to live in Deal in Kent i think. First time i saw him was 1986 at Oulton Park UPSIDE DOWN coming up deers leap in pratice,my old man said he does try a bit

I saw Yoshi at Sachsenring (Moto GP) in 2006.
He couldn't believe it when he saw me, Billy Gallros and Adolf Hanni all still riding.
I saw Yoshi again at Sachsenring this year.
Yoshi is engineer for Nissin brakes and covers the Moto GP's (amongst other events).
You can see his picture here:

He no longer has the specialist bike business in Japan.
Poor Yoshi - he gets quite tearful when we start reminiscing. (Or perhaps he's crying about my Japanese ). He's quite certain he won't have another go, though.
Seem to remember saying that myself a few years back.

I may have some photos of that one. I think he tried to sell it to me at Laguna Seca in 89

I'll check when I get home.
