Andrew Stroud and Shaun Harris

[slowpoke]

Now........ ever thought of managing a sidecar team???.........[/I]

I know you said "manage" but I just had a mental image of Shaun as a swinger, swearing his bloody box off the whole way through a race, haha.

What say I wear my school uniform back on & get a face lift Shaun................

Glenn, I've spoken to those dodgey characters you keep hangin' around with at the dunnies at Manfeild, and they like you just the way you are....go figure.....

Brilliant stuff. Chalk and cheese personalities here though eh!!??

We might have to set up a mini stand in the pits, could be more drama in the pits thyan on the track!

Nah, seriously you are both professionals, both set extremely high standards and you both have rare talent so to have a team like this on the scene is great for our sport. The fact that you are actively looking to put back into the sport says a lot about both of you. Best of luck for the coming season.

There, I said it with a straight face and I didn't once mention the murderous jealousy I'm feeling for the lucky lil' fuck you take under your wing...but for 20 years and a total lack of talent that could be me....so close....so very very close.....

[Shaun]

Hey crew, cheers for the comments.

I am convinced that Andrew can rider faster than he has as yet, so lets see what we can get him to do for us

Young rider

It is my/our intention to put Chris Bramley ( 18) on my a GSXR600

Chris Bramley raced for me 2 years ago in F3, and did a very very good job, I have a lot of respect for the abillity that Chris displayed to me, and hope fully, The money will come through to be able to help him for another season.

Last season, my buisness MOTO-DYNAMIX paid for all his racing, but that is not possible this year due to me munting my self up and not making any money for a few months now.

Good stuff Shaun.... take it to those aussies

Providing these two polar opposites can work together this should work great and I wish them a good season. And as the suspension supplier full and proper back up is guaranteed.

But hey, we should also embrace our Anzac mates from across the ditch. They have assisted no end in improving both the level and spectacle of road racing here in this isolated sea locked country.

I am also looking forward to a great season and may the best men win irrespective of nationality, machinery and go fast bits.

... provided they're running Ohlins gear, of course.

Whatever! Concurence or cynicism?

Thanks and well said

[Shaun]

well, time to tell the world what I discovered about myself last weekend at Pukekohe whilst helping Andrew

I have brain damage signs from my Isle of man crash unfortunately

I thought that I would be ok to work with Andrew in a professional manner that he deserves, but my attitude is not good enough

I find things very frustrating still, and have low control of anger management still, and since I am naturally such a competitive person, I found myself getting very frustrated with little issue;s, that should not have been in my head, but were!

So, I have spoken with Andrew about this on the way home last Sunday from Pukekohe, and have told him that I will not be managing him, as I am not 100% and do not want to be the cause of any complications etc for Andrew, his life is very important to me.

So Mr Stroud, thankyou mate for the opportunity to stay involved in a serious manner, and best of luck for the season mate.

This now also means, that the finance help I was working on to run Chris Bramley, has now also come to nothing, sorry guy's, I did try my best

[James Deuce]

Stop apologising, you have nothing to apologise for.

Now go take it easy.

Or else.

[chanceyy]

ahh shaun healing takes time & esp with the amount of damage you did to yourself

Kudos to you for recognising your current shortcomings, you have plenty to offer racing and it will happen

first priority to heal thyself first then you can give 100% to wot you want to do

[Shaun]

Thanks crew, I just really hate that word FAILURE

[chanceyy]

Thanks crew, I just really hate that word FAILURE

errrrrr Shaun its not called failure its called a set back .. & no one here thinks you have failed at anything ..

I will be interested to see what you have accomplished say in two yrs time, your determination is legendary and anyone who has met you can see this

so allow your body to heal, then your body will be in sync with wot you want to accomplish & it will be achievable

[James Deuce]

Thanks crew, I just really hate that word FAILURE

Like chanceyy said, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who'd label you a failure.

The fact that you're posting and trying to help other people out should give you an idea of just how much you've succeeded.

[Shaun]

Again, thanks guy's

[Riff Raff]

Shaun, the fact that you made the realisation and are talking openly about it shows that you are a bigger man than most. You've come a hell of a long way in such a short time, but there's still a bit of healing to do. I have to admit to shedding a wee happy tear at seeing you walking around at Pukekohe.

Your determination will see you through and I'm sure that you will achieve your dreams when the time is right.

What she said.
Was great to see you at puke last weekend, and it's even better that you're able to realise weather or not you're in a fit condition for the job. Others would endanger their rider for no reason other than pride.
Hope to see you out and about this summer, us two muppets may need a little advice from time to time
