    Permission from the community please

    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!

    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

    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

    Cheers to one and all so far here

    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

    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!!
