Prayers for Shaun Harris

I don't even remember the thread, but it was like a repeat of Morris. I hated to be too much of an ass but thankfully he is still alive, and somewhat well. Whenever I see this thread I fear the worst.

 

Yeah, I can't think of a single time it's been bumped in the last few years that I didn't think it was going to be bad news. I don't even know why. Maybe subconsciously, I expect a new thread if a miracle happens.

 

Shaun's fate was an unavoidable consequence of who he was. Nobody here could have changed anything. That Shaun is gone now, and won't be coming back.

 

The dude is alive and has a wife that has stayed with him through extremely trying times. He has his miracle.

 

Shaun & Alan Kempster, two crazy fooks that wouldn't take no for an answer.

 

And a man can be selfish...

 

Yes, she is. A very strong angel.
Shaun is damn lucky to have her.

 

The Britten Shaun raced at IOM will be on-track at NJMP in June.

Shaun got a mention in the RRW article

Awesome, I am going to try to get there just to hear it run.

 

I raced at Daytona when John came over and kicked ass... I was new(well just got my pro card so three years racing) and had no idea how cool it was or how bad ass his story was, really cool.

 

I was good friends with Goodfellows mechanic and was around that thing the whole week and never even took a picture...hindsight

 

I remember people fawning over it and photo shoots with John and umbrella girls and I think it was the Michelin crew too. I didn’t realize it was built by him or any of the story then. I think the Harley’s were pretty new too as lots of hoopla about the VR1000 too.

I’d just got my pro card, it was my first time at Daytona and on a 750, slicks, reverse shift, you name it all wet behind you he ears... and I ate shit in the dogleg broke ribs, still Qualified and raced the 200... damn to have my youth back...

 

Were you still racing them Mike?
I know you have many miles on the high banks...

 

Only thing I really remember were the antics trying to get it through sound check.Of course I cant even remember how I did in the 200 that year either...or even what year it was

 

You deserve a beating for that.

 

1st was '85,last attempt was 05

 

We rode a few 200s together then, cool.

 

97

 

If any of you get a chance, introduce yourself to Bob Robbins the owner of this one. He is an absolute treasure of an enthusiast in our sport. I’ve spent a fair amount of time with him when he supported racers from the Northeast that we also put on our bikes. He’s just a great guy that makes you know why we love our sport and the people in it.

 

My 1st race weekend I was doing it solo and didn't know jackshit except I had a license from Penquin and a sandwich from WaWa.
Mr. Robbins took time to walk over from his pit and check in on me.
No idea whom he was at the time but it was a nice gesture from a cool guy.
