Starting life again

[Shaun]

Monday the 30th life begins again for me.:beer:

I am going back to work for a engineering company as a mechanical fitter, my buisness has been dead for to long now, and I now want a different direction for my life, than running my own buisness.

I have been doing a very intense training programe for the last month, involves the GYM and lots of swimming, and by the end of August, I WILL be fitter than before I went to the TT last year, and fitter than I have ever been in NZ, I have never trained at all for racing in NZ over the years.

As some of you will know, I HAVE BEEN A BIT DIFFERENT over the last few months, why- HEAD INJURY! Badly damaged the right hand side of my brain, which effects, Maturity, decision making, memory etc etc etc etc, just looking at the head scans from the Isle of Man hospital last night, and the brain was very beaten up when I stopped!


I NOW HAVE OFFICUAL MEDICAL CLEARANCE TO RACE AGAIN!!!!!!!!! YEE HA:sweatdrop

So YES, I am going to be racing bikes again, I will start testing again at the end of August (( Thankyou MOTO TT Crew)) I am going to race my Old K6 GSXR 600 UNLESS SOME ONE GIVES ME A 675 TRIUMPH???? ( Would love to race one here in NZ)

My Goal is, to get back to the Isle of Man TT races next year, and I WILL BE TRYING TO WIN races there again, I can and will try, simple!

Now where is my new BMW SBK?

I know what went wrong last year, and it WAS NOT my fauly, so I trust myself, and my loving wife FIONA, is behind me as she always has been ( Thankyou babe)

And thankyou again, to all that helped us, and hung in there with me through this shite period of life, BUT it has made me a better man than I was before, I am very proud of what I have done in the last few months with a lot of hard work and support from my wife, and I really believe in myself now BIG TIME:hug:

[firefighter]

[MSTRS]

Good stuff Shaun. Older. Wiser. Few more scars.

[007XX]

Brilliant news Shaun...May the gods of Speed be with you!

[Usarka]

Nice work Shaun. Especially with the motivation following a blow to the head.

Hope you dont mind me asking - has the intense exercise helped with the head injury symptoms?

i look forward to more spectatoring :wari:

[Swoop]

Nice to hear, Shaun.
All the very best for the future.

Thanks to all above

Re Head injury, I cannot say for sure about the training and the injury, but I do believe it has helped, as it gave me a Goal, and we all need goals to move forward, so PROBALL YES-

The head injury has had a bigger effect than expected really, and due to the fact that I could still use a key board and cell phone, I made a lot of Very BIG mistakes, some people dealt with them, some people spat the dummy and ran away and slagged me, well at least now I know who I can trust and know who the users and tossers are these days:gob:

[skelstar]

Good to hear your success story. Good to have goals eh...

All the best in the career change Shaun.

You have really done well in getting up and active after your unfortunate accident, you are an inspiration to others and, even though you may have said things in the past that upset some people, you are a MAN that apologises and gets on with life!

You ARE a good fella, mate!:yes:

[Kornholio]

Shit it will get DUDE PS, ya better give the bourbon to Craig Shirrif, he loves it

[ManDownUnder]

Shaun - you're a gruff little bastard that says things as he sees them... you don't spout (to much) shit, you set high goals for yourself and you hit the fucken things.

Those are all sources of respect for me - head injury or no.

Go for gold mate. Where are you working?

Don't you go spittin the dummy like that agen u hear ? :nono: You had us all thinking you were gone and not comin back, geez.

Will you be racing up Taupo ways sometime ? Might come down for a wee gaze upon your brilliance.

Yeah it's hard running your own business. We dun it for nearly 20 years and quite sick of it actually.

Yeah, I wuz gonna say, "That makes you different from most, how?" You may have upset a few people, but you've got a lot of respect from many, and those who know you well will give a lot of leeway for what you have been through.

Cheers, the ones that do know me well, have hung in there all the way with me

There is one man I am going to have to take an assult charge for though, BUT THAT is life, he turned into a real low life through all this shite going on, and I only know the OLD mans way of dealing with him, which will be done as soon as I believe I am good to go!!

"The pen is mightier than the sword"? I can't recommend the "old man's way" myself, but I don't know the situation beyond you needing to give yourself the best chance of getting your life back...

[mstriumph]

......... effects, Maturity, decision making, memory etc etc etc etc, .......

don't worry about it - a lot of people are like that WITHOUT a head injury to blame it on!!!:laugh:

sincerely, the very best of luck to you in your new direction - i hope that everything turns out as you wish it :Punk:

[alanzs]

I thought one of the reasons that our feet were proportionate with our mouths is so we could fit them in... Never worry, this is the internet, where all women are super models and all men have huge dicks!
Take care! <_<

If I was NOT already a million air, I would be to dude

[MD]

Don't even know you Shaun, but I was gutted and upset when the news of your crash broke.

That must have been a tough post to make yesterday and yet another sign of your character - íf I get knocked down, I get right back up again spirit.

Good luck with the racing and all. Sorry, I like my 675 too much to let someone else thrash it to death, but it sure would be fantastic to see you racing one.
Mark

[Blackbird]

All the best Shaun, even if I never did get my Penske unit from you! Great to hear that you'll be racing and doing everyone proud again.

[old git]

can sympathize with you there mate, have to watch the fatigue and headaches (for me) as well.


Most people have no fuckin clue what the signs are for this thing. They just assume you're a grumpy cunt, having an off day or a typical Ginga, etc etc


Glad to read you're coming through it, it takes time, lots of time.

Almost 20 months and I still have at least one (headache) a day for few a hours if not most of the day, and still have a nap for a couple hours in the afternoon.
I won't ever drive a big rig on a commercial basis again.

Doctor seems to think it may take a few more years if there will be any further healing, but they don't really know.

Life has certainly changed - albeit for the best.

[ynot slow]

What strikes me reading these thoughts about surviving life threatening injuries is you do get a really different perspective on life,almost like who cares I'm alive probably shouldn't be,so maybe life is too short(and it is)lets enjoy it.Makes me pissed when I here people moaning about small things annoying them,i.e weather,colds.And I for one look on at other people who were in hospital,or undergoing chemo and radiation with me,as some were worse off but their attitude was great,some were down and despondant and having minor treatment(compared to a woman with both breasts removed,or brain and bald etc)of say malinoma on arm.
