Permission from the community please

[Shaun]

Hi Crew, well things are going so well for me, that I really do not understand it, apart from my usuall attitude of, if you try hard enough, you will succeed!

So, I am here to talk with all the people that financually and moraly supported me and my family through my IOM TT crash this year

I AM GOING BACK WITH THE SAME BELIEFE AND FOCUS I HAVE EVER HAD BUT WITH A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE TO THE WHOLE OF LIFE NOW

please read a snipit out of an email to me regarding a race programme we are working on at the momenet for next year


Finnegan as far as I know is not on an MV for next year, so there is a very slim chance of me being able to get a bit of help from the factory if I took an MV to the island, it's certainly worth making a call and asking but they will want to know who the rider is and what I expect to achieve. They cut us some slack this year in bsb and we achieved more than they expected…..unfortunately this means for 2008 they want us to win the championship and would only possibly accept a top 3 finish from us by the end of the year if we didn’t win…….so the pressure is most definitely on for us next year and I would expect them to regard the TT with the same type of expectation, to achieve a higher result on the second visit than the first. With that kind of pressure and expectations potentially on us I need to make sure that we can stand a chance of delivering as a team and also for you as a rider.


This is a piece from Chris, the team owner that I am working with for the TT next year, he will be trying very hard for me!

Now just to get one here, and get going on it, to learn as much about it as possible, and the Conti tyres I hope to race on over there!:banana:

[jrandom]

Shaun at IOM on an MV!

:D

:clap:

Keep on living the dream, dude...

[Matt Bleck]

You got some big balls for a little man!

[Usarka]

:not:

Inspirational.

[tri boy]

Foookin ell.:headbang:
Your the human equivalent of the "Energizer" character.
I'm staying in touch with this thread.:corn: (if I had an MV, you could thrash it).:devil2:

[007XX]

WOW!!!! That is inspiration indeed...

Big respect out to you Shaun :2thumbsup and we (the 007s) will be eagerly watching on as you do what you do so well.

[ManDownUnder]

AB SO LUTE LY gobsmacked.

A dream of mine is to see the TT races... The IOM is the land of my ancesters. I want to see the place anyway but... I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to see someone I know racing there. If I do... 'nuff said

Right behind ya man... y're a fookin' legend :niceone:

[James Deuce]

Just make sure you get some front teeth in before you go over there, you ugly little Gremlin.

No fucking scaring us like last time, got it?

Oh, yes, err, nice work, looking forward to a ginga on the top step on an MV, you're a good bastard, etc, etc,

Merry Christmas!

Love

Jim

Permission from the community...:


Are you sure it's the community you need permission from? I admire your courage and your skill, but what does the family think?

[Shaun]

Cheers to one and all so far here:clap:

Re permission, YES Fiona my wife is aware this is happening, not 100% happy, as would be expected, but as per usual, full of love and support for me and my goals!

We have discovered a major part of my mind set difficulties of late, are due to the fact that I had retired as a racer, I am a petrol head, and will always be a petrol head, so now I have addmitted to myself that bikes are my life, I have made my life BIKES from now on , Simple really. I love them, and the community like on here:clap:

[Qkchk]

Your the human equivalent of the "Energizer" character.

A term of "Rubberband Man" comes to mind - Keeps bouncing back

[quallman1234]

Bloody Brillant.

Legend! :clap:

[onearmedbandit]

Awesome news Shaun, you're a fucking legend mate.

[Swoop]

Shaun.
You do not need the permission of this "community". You have the skills and dedication to stand on the podium at IOM. Clear and simple.

Please, however, make sure you have your loved ones' support, 100%, as this will be of more relevance and importance...

All the best mate!!

My loved ones, ie, family are behind me:niceone:

I am just asking the ones that LOVED:mobile: me for there permission here mate:apint:

Don't do things by halves do you? Could've got a bucket :p

No worries then!

Go forth to "Kick ass and take names" then!!!!:clap:

[White trash]

Well. What do you say.

It's with mixed emotions I consider your decision Shaun. Firstly is fear. Fear of the uncertainty such a venture will cause. Especially to someone who I respect above all others in the racing community for what you have given me, taught me and shown me how to realise for myself. I was litteraly sick when I heard of your crash this year and I couldn't get you on your phone. Speaking to your family and friends here showed how many people felt the same and reinforced the severity of the situation.

Secondly I feel excited for you. You're persuing what is your dream and the texts I got from you when you were on the Isle last show how much you are meant to be there doing what you do best, kicking arse. If there's at all a possibility, I'll be standing next to you in the pits polishing the bike and grinning from ear to ear. I tried to give up bikes completely 9 years ago after a horific crash myself and lasted 4 months in a cage. We're motorcyclists first and formost, allways will be.

You're a nutter Shaun. With basket ball sized kahunas.

You have my 100% support. But you knew that. Peace man, do what it takes.

[Shaun]

Not normally No. Was thinking about a bucket last night actually, but made the garden before I needed to release, ba hahaha sorry man:banana:

[McDuck]

Lol good luck. Need any help let me know. Even if it is doing lawn etc while you are bussy.... (i am a horticulturalist after all)

[Wheeliemonsta]

Gidday Gremlin,
To come back from a bin of that magnitude in such a short space of time & want to get straight back on the horse says a hell of a lot about you as a person...

:killingme (Your obviously totally fu**ed in the head, like the rest of us in the racing fraternity...) :killingme

Good skills that man, go hard & to flog a line from Worlds Fastest Indian...

"Show em that Kiwi's can fly"...

Good luck to you, Fiona & the family

Cheers

:rockon:

[MadDuck]

Wow....I am impressed at how fast you have recovered and how keen you are to get back into it.

I for one will be following your progress with great interest and enthusiasm..:2thumbsup

I'm really excited to hear this Shaun, the first time I talked to you I couldn't imagine you retiring like you thought you were going to. Here's hoping you get a great ride with a good team behind you so you can really go for it again.

[Boob Johnson]

Well sir, what can anyone say other than........


(in an upper class pommy accent) "Boo sucks to you Fritzy" (stolen line from Blackadder 4)


You have to admire the human spirit to go on after such a horrific accident


*Tips hat*


All the best Shaun, you have the full love & support of the KB'er community by the looks of it. We all live in hope that you will come home with the top spot but at the end of the day just getting back on the horse is a victory in itself.


Your a winner & will always be :Punk:



ps: pissed I missed going to the track day with you a few weeks back. Mad keen on going to the next one, be sure to PM me if your going again :niceone:

[Sanx]

I'd usually try to find something a little more poetic, but I'll just settle for saying: go for it, dude - you've got the unquestioning support of the 'community' behind you.

[Draco]

I personally don't get the whole racing thing really, don't have that competitive drive. But having also shattered my pelvis and many other bits crashing a bike, I know what it's like to try quittin bikes only to be driven mad by the neeeed to get back on. Your a biker, it's who you are, and your a racer, it's what you do. You don't need anyone's permission to carry on doing what drives you in life. If you worked in a factory and a crate fell on your head, no one would question you returning to work at the factory, so why should they question you returning to racing bikes?

Hat's off to your wife, she must really love you for who you are.
Go hard Shaun, may you acheive all you want, and may you come home safe.

[_Gina_]

Permission granted Shaun...

:hug:

[bugjuice]

you're nuckin futs mate..

all the best to ya, i'll be on the edge of my seat for this one

edit: to be honest, i've been sat here 5 minutes re-reading your first post, and my gob is still open. I've got nothing but massive respect and admiration for you Shaun, all the best for it

[Shaun]

Cheers Team, life is to Short ( Like me) To run from it

[Movistar]

Well done Shaun, as you know mindset is the biggest hurdle.
You've obviously overcome this as I know you wouldn't consider this if you hadn't.
Big ups to you, hopefully we'll catch up soon.

[Jorja]

Have I told you how much I HATE you mr Harris? (kidding)
Frosty is going to read this you know that dont you?
You are the man who suggested it was time he hung his leathers up.
I couldn't figure out why he's been especially grumpy lately, Then I remembered this is the start of the racing season and he wont be racing.

[Ivan]

Shaun I admire you even more than I did before and I admire you alot,

I never thought I would hear of you racing a bike again let alone going back to the Island,

A few people would think your crazy but I know what it's like being a racer to you cant give up something you love and live for,

So I say go for it..

Awsome stuff.:done:

[bugjuice]

just a thought/idea, you should reserve space on something like the tail piece, and make it a $100 or more donation to sign on a small spot of it, taking kiwi names round the TT.
However, I don't know if you'd get more sponsor ship money from company names on it.. hasn't something like that been done before?

[kiwifruit]

wow! what a machine :gob::headbang:

we're all behind you Shaun

[beyond]

I can fully understand that Shaun. Nearly sold mine twice and even at the thought of seliing it I was getting crabby. Riding bikes keeps you focussed, keeps you young, improves reactions and alertness and is an awesome stress reliever :)

Good on ya. Hope it all comes together. Man you deserve it. :first:

[ajturbo]

great news there matey!!!..

what doesn't kill ya will make you stronger!...

hope it all comes together for you!!!!

[Deviant Esq]

Bloody awesome news, good on ya mate. You show that IOM TT circuit it can't beat you, go back and kick its arse!! Would love to go over there myself, but more from a watching point of view for me I reckon... :sweatdrop

Cept, don't bloody crash again, mmkay? :Pokey:

[Meekey_Mouse]

:eek5: Woah! Had to read your first post a few times before I fully believed it. You're a huge inspiration Shaun! All the best :jerry: :cool:

[speedracerjimmy]

Hey Jimmy, sounds like you have been hauling ass as per

Hope you can sought out the Knee issue you are going through at the moment mate, before champs, You Dennis and others deff have a shot at it eh, go hard jimmy:Punk:

[Fatjim]

Mate, if you've got permission from the missus after this year, then the rest of us don't really matter.

[Tony.OK]

Good on ya Shaun,big ups to you for following your passion and not giving up.You are the true defenition of a KIWI BATTLER.
Mate you should consider yourself a weathly man,support from your wife and friends like that in my mind is priceless.
Utmost respect and good luck to you!!

There you go again with this 'WE' business. and 'sif Shaun's gonna ask you to accompany him to the track.. you fookin Nob!

[speed63]

The only opinion that really matters is that of your family.

When you have a gift to go fast you have to make most of it.You dont get opportunities like you have Shaun without putting in the work.

Getting back on the horse at the IOM is huge.

Hope it all falls into place and best wishes.

[riffer]

Good on ya Shaun. You're braver than me for sure.

[Boob Johnson]

Kick ass Lepri Shaun !! :first:
