Shawn's bike is looking pretty rough after that 3rd crash at VIR. Two broken radiators, broken airbox, broken handlebars, and you can see the body damage - how can he sit on that safely?

Today is his birthday. Send him a howdy, (or, if you can spare a buck, click the Donate button) at Http://Higbee-Racing.Com

I'm sure he'd really appreciate that, Hugh. Even just a note of support from any fan that can't spare a buck right now would be welcome right now, I'm sure.

Happy Birthday Shawn!

BadWeB just drained what was left of it's Buell Racers' Awards coffer and then some in favor of supporting a never say die, balls to the wall, I don't need no stinking fingertip, privateer Buell Racer, Shawn Higbee.

Your time is coming Shawn! Keep up the good fight.

I'm so broke, I'm having trouble paying attention. However, I was able to scrape up a couple of bucks to donate, and I wished him a Happy Birthday. The life of a struggling privateer is not one of plentiful riches. Shawn is a Class Act. I hope his ship comes in soon.

It took a lot of grit just to keep getting back on it, much less finish out the weekend.

That was a textbook example of determination and sheer force of will.

I have to say that he deserves even my pitiful support - even though it means pulling $$ out of my OWN racing funds.

GO SHAWN!

Stand down Steve! Your recent donation to the BadWeB fund was a significant portion of the $1K that we sent to Shawn.

Blake . . the minute this season is over I think we need to consider a fund raiser. There's never been, in my mind, a greater moment for Badweb, than the day you walked around the pits with a checkbook!

Audrey,

A couple years back, Badweb took up a collection to raise funds for a contingency sponsorship (sorta) of Buell racers. Blake strolled around the year before last at Homecoming cutting some checks for different Buell racers - even though Badweb wasn't "officially" on the list of sponsors at Road America, they allowed it.

Like Court said, it really was cool.

Some money went to the long-suffering Walt Sipp earlier (heck, he finished Daytona on Bison Racing's XBRR)
