While visiting Streetly a few weeks back, I noticed a photo on the wall of 
Ryo, MS and JB flanked by various MkII's with the caption "Customer of the 
Year".  Make that "Customer of the Century"...and, of course, there was a 400 in a 
road case with Ryo's name attached to it on the premises.  My recent contacts 
with Ryo prior to my acquisition of MkII #134 prove him out as one humble and 
honorable individual.
