The last picture from this very mixed series shows Ferry during a dinner in Japan with his (and my) old Boss, Mr. K. Kuratomo and his wife and his old friend Mr. Matsui (in jeans). Very few people do know that Mr. Kuratomo (who was based in Amsterdam) was instrumental in convincing Yamaha Japan to continue with roadrace (productionracers), when all the other factories stopped. So actually all TZ fans have to thank him, otherwise there would have been no bikes, and maybe no races whatsoever all those years.....!
