8 years since daijiro's passing,probably one of the best riders i have seen race on a race track,seen Kato race a couple of times at Donington i am privilged to say.was also VERY lucky to get a copy of the Kato dvd from Japan showing his early years and a lot more unseen race footage.I have never seen this dvd again so don't know if you can even buy it.RIP No74,never fogotten.

Absolutely. 8 years already, but definitely never forgotten.
Read up on all his incredible achievements again today and it's almost unbelievable how quickly he made such a huge impact on the field. Amazing talent no doubt, was taken from this world way too soon. RIP.

Btw, I did a tribute picspam on my LJ, if anyone's interested: http://stv21.livejournal.com/175254.html
