Isle of Man winning plaque, 2003

[Shaun]

Power of POSITIVE thinking is great eh Cheers

They're just trophies guys. Shaun still has the prestige and the memories. Selling these trophies will not lesson his achievements nor cause anybody to forget them. The history books will not be rewritten. The photographs will not disappear. Like most racers, Shaun's family will have had to make sacrifices and I for one think it's bloody admirable that he's willing to take another difficult path to reach his next goal.

If you're hell bent on selling them Shaun then I'd list them on ebay as you'll likely get much more money for em. Hopefully they'll end up in a public display somewhere instead of some toff's private collection.

Hi Guys
I have followed this thread with much interest, I am the guy that done the deal with Shaun, these trophies ARE NOT FOR SALE and Shaun as 5 years in which to buy them back if he so wishes, if they had gone on ebay they would have been out of Shauns hands forever, btw, I am no toff with a private collection, I am a TT race fan and a TT marshal, as I live in the UK it is much easier and cheaper for me to get to the Isle of Man, I have been over for 30 TT's. (25 as a Marshal). Like I said, I am no toff, and I used the money I had saved up towards another bike, if Shaun uses the money paid to him,helps him once again to fullfill his dream, then I am happy for him. Rest assured, a deals a deal and Shaun as not given up his trophies forever.
ps; Anyone visiting South London is welcome to call and view the trophies anytime!!!

Dave, Massive thanks mate for what you have done here for me and what you have done and do do as a marshall at the TT.

The deal that you offered to me to purchase was so appreciated, and rest assured, I WILL be buying them back, Apart from the ONE that you keep FOREVER!

And you will get big waves from me next year man, as I am coming back to finish my job of

Talk soon mate

I have ONE WINNING trophy left here and that STAYS HERE for my DAUGHTER Folks.

I have NO money left and need to do this to get back into the life I want to be living- this sale is about completeing the RE-Build of Shaun Harris and it feels as powerfully positive inside as my day at the TT did in 2003

I have got friends around me that have and still do help me hugely and wiped my arse for 4 years now ( Sorry for all the texts mate) I need to make ME PROUD again! some thing I have NOT been for 4 years.

I have always been a fighter and the person I have been living as, has finally gotten the other me pissed off

I finished reading 2 books last week that acted like DOORS for me, each centence each page each chapter just showed me how pathetic and weak and non-constructive I am being and what I need to do to Proove to Myself to myself again.

A Brain injury as serious as mine was will realy screw you up ( AS MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN ON HERE ) It has cost me more than 99% of you will ever know or could ever imagine, I am going out to get ME back then come fighting to get my girls back ( We are together but in a strange way)

So I;m NOT actually selling history from my family, I am using these items as TOOLS to build the Future

I have a man that I respect hugely in the USA who is very interested in them but cannot commit untill this Thursday USA Time, it would be way cool if they went to him, he is like a GOD to the race scene in the USA as far as I am concerned, so they will be in a happy place

Toaster knows first hand what brain injury means for a family man, Shaun. Families often don't survive the aftermath and I only hope you can rebuild your family relationships if they have been damaged by it all. If you need someone to talk to who does know, I'm sure Cam wold be very happy to hear from you. All the best!

Go grab a vivid, and look around the shed for broken bits of bike. Sign your name on them and chuck em up on trademe.

I don't have enough coin to grab your IOM stuff. But I am sure I could scrounge up some coin to start the bidding on some signed Shaun Harris Memorabilia. Even if it is junk and broken bits of fairing. I am sure KB members would help also.
Even if you do sign stuff like a retard now

Lets raise the bar a bit - I reckon you could get 5K within 2 weeks.

Nahh man he's onto something -sighned memorobelia has value nowadays

Sure has, and you don't need to think of it as a cop-out either. Makes good business sense!

The offer of keeping one forever is a fantastic offer, you WILL NOT be waving on the course as I will not tell you where I will be!! I will see you at the paddock or your digs for the photographs I want signing !!!

Brain Injury and Families


Fiona my lady and my little girl Petra as well as Anja- Bevan- Avon and Friends all lost the Shaun They know, and Shaun Just lost Shaun and a way of earning money and fighting in the game of life the way he always has and loves being a part of.

To get up in the morning thinking about a Root or a Bike or a race or a buisness earning idea has been a thing that has happened in my life for ever and I have done one or the other all day every day untill the Head Injury.

As the healing process moves along BINGO, One day you wake up and feal good to go again believing all is good and planned Then the text and Phone calls Internet and email starts and all is a box of roses or so you think

Maybe seconds or minutes or days weeks months later you read a reply, and realise that you have screwed up AGAIN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------and AGAIN, and I HATE TO FAIL

So back to realising and accepting that you/I/ One of ME is still screwed up and then I reached out and found the MEDICATION I needed to BALLANCE the chemicals in me

My Head Injury is OVER NOW! Yes I will still be improving/Growing/Catching up every day, but all is 100% In CONTROL NOW.

I Have Fiona my Lady and My Girl Petra and Anja and Bevan and Avon i my life everyday still I Honestly thought I had LOST FIONA untill last Sunday, I GOT THE BIGGEST CUDDLE AND KISS- She said



: WELCOME BACK SHAUN:

I am crying write NOW this is the truth and FUK I/WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO GET BACK HERE I AM NEVER GOING TO FAIL AGAIN

But Man this whole LEARNING LESSON HAS BEEN SO WORTH IT DUE TO EVENTS LIKE HIS HAPPENING It is almost like I needed to crash and loose my life too learn a bit more.


Be strong and possitive folks

Cheers Dave

Took guts to post that mate! Good on you! And your lady is a treasure!

Didn't that poem about being a man go like, "If you can meet with success and failure and treat those two imposter's just the same..."?

You didn't fail, mate, you got taken out and blindsided and you've met the challenge of rebuilding yourself physically and mentally from something that should have killed you and may definitely have killed lesser men!

This shows your heart and your strength and you need never apologise for being a failure to anyone. Cherish your family and your friends who have stood by you and know you have much to be grateful for and be proud of in your life - yesterday and today.

Well done Dave.

I imagine if you ever get down this way, you won't be paying for a single pint on that trip.
