hahah she did squeel a bit as I was enter the back door:gob:

Team Yamahahaha, is a UK thing only mate, the guy that is suppling the bikes is the Engine/head Builder for the Factory team, so I will have the same shit as the BSB boys, No excuses what so ever!

Suzuki NZ have been far to good to me over the years to go any where else in my old age, 20 years ago I started on a GSXR750, and I am still on a GSXR, Wanganui this year will be 20 years since I first raced there, and my main personell Road and Sport Suzuki were my first sponsor 20 years ago

All good

nice work, i'll be making sure i come and support ya mate, i'm not too hot in a bikini but i do a mean fukin moon walk :whistle:Sorry mate but unlike my auntie Joan i don't take it up the ass (don't believe Dover)

That'd be a f'kin hoot on a BSB bike.... if i don't see you before racing begins.. GOOD LUCK mate!

I like the one of Shaun on the GSXR750 doing a wet lap! TT On Board 4!

Now that was scary!

Is that the lap that I slide across the track twice and end up staying on because the gutter stopped me going any further?

Now that did put the shits up me, nothing like using a gutter to stop you from crashing, but it did teach me to use the gutter in 4 corners to get the fastest time I could out of those corners

All in a days work though eh Bahahahaha

They didnt mention it on the vid, but, lookin at the way you were sliding around and spinning up the rear, I wouldn't be at all surprised!
Shit, if I could go half as fast in the dry as you were going in the wet, I'd be a happy chap - it probably would have helped if you could actually see the f**kin circuit as well.......

Hahaha, that is why people can go so quick there, it is so hard to see what you might hit, that you do not think about it

I once dented both sides of a petrol tank and broke of both stearing stop lugs on the tripple clamps whilst doing a wicked tank slapper tapped out in top gear with both feet of the pegs and only my throttle hand left holding onto the bars

Tallent? Hell NO, Just dam good luck, amazing how strong one can become whilst swearing and screaming inside a helmet as you are about to die or get really f'd up!

Hi Shaun, I'm from the IOM and gotta say...total respect to ya. I watched you many times blatting around "the rock" at :shit: crazy speeds.

Unfortunately (for you), I also gotta say that "I was there" in the grandstand when you dropped it at the starting line during practice one year (can't remember which). Bugger, ay?

Are you going back in 2007 - certainly hope so - it'll be great to see someone with a bit of personality..!!

IOM Trivia...it's still legal to kill a Scotsman in the IOM...law has never been repealed.

I won't be going there for my holidays.

Manxman

16th November 2006, 16:42

ahhh, yes...I'd almost forgotten. One of the many good things about the island that I miss... Friday night 'dispatch a Scotsman' was always good value (just kidding!):dodge:

Scot Steve Hislop was one of my favourites around the TT course (I remember his epic race against an emerging rider by the name of...Carl Fogarty, which Hizzie won by by just a few seconds. Both were completely fearless.)

BTW nice vids of the twisty roads out the back of Akl

To dam funny, you must have seen me do the I am not worthy bit to the Factory mechanics then< Honda etc who were all watching from the pit lane?

That is the biggest my dick has ever fealt:gob:

That was on the TAG, that radicall looking shit hot bike, matched the Britten in lap time on it

Hope to be there, have all the support I need apart from the Final bit of negotiations between me and IOM tourist board

Come say hello if It all works out for me, I may be short with big ares and red hair with an attitude, but normally give the time of day for chat

Shaun

2 side by leaving the dummy grid for practice, normally only one bike at a time, they were running a bit behind schedule due to weather

any way, I was on the right, normally where the dude on left was, as I go to take off, whamo, BIG SIDE WAYS SHIT GOING ON, NEXT THING i KNOW i AM ON MY ARSE AND NOT EVEN TRAVELLED 3 mtr'S!!!!

Rute- Shit--Uck I think I said

Look up, and back then the factory teams were big time into it, there was Neill Tuxworth ( HONDA BOSSMAN) and all his boys looking at me on the groung, wadda ya do

I had to stand up and do the Queen BOw for them

The 2 funniest thing about is (1) Shortest crash in history at the TT WhooooooHO

2nd, you should have Mike Tryphonos and his Brother nearly crying at the damage, untill I said to shut the f up and get on with fixing it or go home, this is racing and shit happens

funny thing... a "few" years ago in nelson, my mate and I were ...... riding up a certain hill in the "posh" area, he was on the RZ500, me on the CX500, he lost it on a right hander... only to slide into gutter... and come out like nothing had happened.... me trying to keep up did the very same thing... hit the gutter, rode around the curb and just as though it was the normal thing to do... speed off... we got to the party, we both looked at each other... and drunk to our luck.... ( all night:innocent: )....
yes we got away with it and no we didn't ever race each other up that hill again...i wonder why???

Yeah, all I remember was hearing this real high revving thing goin'g on to my right, looking round and seeing this crumpled heap about 10 feet from the start line, ie your good self. Godd to see you've got a sense of humour about it though.

My other lasting memory of ya, was piloting the Britten (which was always problematic at the TT) to its first & only finish in '96 (I think). I remember the last lap, when the whole crowd was willing and shouting for you to finish - that must have been an awesome feeling!?!

Be great to catch up and grab a few words next year...cheers. :not:

Say what you want fella, having watched some of your races etc. i would certainly love to be able to ride like you:yes:
Holding a tank slapper that violent takes someone with that something special. I look forward to your book man!
