Hi all, it has been a long while since I have been on here, and would like to take this opportunity, to say a HUGE Thankyou to all that have thought about me and my family over the past few months.

The first few weeks after the crash are a complete mistory to me, as I do not remember what was going on at the Isle of Man Hospital, my head has had a very good shake up, and my memory has not been the best, I cannot remember more than 6 days prior to my crash! my anger management has not been the best over this time as well, and the poor nurses and Fiona and other family Anja, Petra etc had to deal with all this going on around them.

To my direct family, Fiona, Petra, Anja, Bevan, Michelle, Nicki,Mum, Gordan and others, thankyou all so much, I am so incredibly lucky to have you guys in my life, it was with the love and support that you all gave me, that has pulled me through this ( Hospital staff were fantastic brilliant !) I cannot thank you enough for what you have all done for me, what I can promise is, to make sure that I try harder than ever to make things all good for all of us, and that I will work as hard as possible to totally over come all my injuries, and to love you all, for a long and good time.

It is quite strange to be sitting here typing this out, a lot of the people that will read this, I do not even know personally, but know you all care, due to all the PM's and post cards and so on, I feel you are a direct part of my racing and what goes with it, and it is an honour to feel this way, as I have always believed in the fans more than any other part of the racing game, it is you people that keep our sport going.

I am really very happy with my current physical mental condition, I am in a wheel chair still , and can not put any weight onto my left leg as yet, but are going for a specialist meeting this Thursday with a view to evaluate my Pelvis and leg, with the view of, starting to put weight onto it again, and basically learning how to walk again on it.

The bone specialist out here, is calling me a healing "FREEK" He cannot believe the build up of bone around all my breaks all ready, Bloody good news, I have always healed quickly, and Fiona really understands me very well, when it comes to food and drinks, so I am eating and drinking a lot of really good stuff which is helping me a lot.

I am mentally frustrated because I cannot go and climb a tree or any thing at the moment, and are the type of person that always keeps very busy, working ands so on. I am a motor cycle racer, and I love our sport, so have been working hard on re developing a race team here in New Zealand that I will be the owner manager of, things are looking very good at the moment for this venture, 3-4 rider team. When it all comes together, I will let you all know, and I am really looking forward to it, as I know, that I can train, advise riders so well with all the info I have, and I am lucky out here n New Zealand, in the fact that I have a lot of Industry support to make some thing like this happen.

The chances are that, with this team, I will be asking a UK/Scottish/Irish/ iom, based rider out to race in one Road race meeting on the 26th of december, the same meeting I got Guy Martin to race in 2 years ago.

So again, just to say thanks very much to you all for caring and sharing for me and my family, it is a part of my life and my racing life that I will appreciate for ever, thank you Shaun
