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

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.
