    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!

    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 ? 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.

    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

    Cool post mate...all the best and you have best wishes dude!
    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.

    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

    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
    Sweet so now i dont have to take it easy on the track when showing you some lines!

    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!!

    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!

    You can't blame that one on head injury.

    Good on ya mate. I'm absolutely positive your drive and determination will be stronger than ever, so everyone had better look out!!!
