John,

I've been enjoying the bike for a while now - turbo on a bike is a phenomenal life time experience :D

I asked about Richard, because i was told by one of the AFM racers (David, AFM number 1), that Richard has built and raced turbocharged hayabusas and took his bike(s) on salts. Richard is very local to me, so i thought i'd talk to him about this and that.

Unfortunately, i don't trust anyone now, after my quite eventful and adventures experience with local people/shops during my turbo install. So, now i require refferals from someone i trust/know.

So, before i even go see him i wanted a little info.. see if anyone knows him, you know.
