Round 3, Whanganui Cemetery report

**Shaun Harris** · 27th December 2015, 06:50

Cemetery curcuit rd 3 Suzuki series report in.
Things I should have done. I should have stripped my fairings off to alter fork height in the chassis, and I should have taken the shock out of the bike and changed the rear spring, and I should have taken the throttle and cables of that I had fitted for a quicker action throttle. WHY? All would have made slight improvements! Why did I not, A, Because I am kinda sick of working on my race bike at the track on my own, and racing it and thinking about racing all at the same time. I know this makes me sound like I am not hungry and lazy really, but fact of matter is, this is all about the finishing off, of the TT in 2016 to me, so I decided to keep growing/re learning how to be a good rider again, and adapt and ride around the issue's I noted. I qualified in 5th place for the day, and finished first race in 5th place and the 2nd race in 4th place. I am very happy and proud of those results, but as mentioned above, I know 100% what could have been if I had done the work on the bike. I am trying not to be as demanding on myself as I once was, why, because I do not want to push to hard and smash myself up and miss another year at the TT, My HOME away from Home, I love that place so dam much, there is no drug on earth like the challenge of the TT mountain.

DREW, make them cold dude

I have to say Shaun, I was quite surprised how I felt seeing you out there.
It felt like a kind of homecoming & stripped away 25 years for me. Young blokes banging around there on bikes that now have their own classic class.
Nearly a tear jerker mate, so chuffed for you, & me kind of too, in a different way.
Thanks for making it back, I know the journey has been a rough one & some of us haven't helped that at all.

Cheers Dude. You all actually helped me it turns out. It was the shit I took so personally that hurt me so much, that made me dig deeper to be a stronger better man again, so no sweat at all bro
