      Great video Lee thanks. Any chance you can stop using Jesus's Name as a swear word, you will need Him one day mate. 🙂 Steve

    How emotional was that? You weren't the only one who had a lump in the throat Lee, fantastic to see you back where you belong. Take your time, enjoy the moment, and build it up gradually.

    Was genuinely over the moon when I heard on the TV coverage you were back. Don't do social media, I'm a curmudgeonly old bloke. Great vlog as always but the real emotion you show is testament to what it all means to you and how much joy you feel at being back - and I love to see that. Us motorcyclists have a deep and powerful bond with riding, whatever type of riding you do. So, I am sure all the viewers get what this all means to you. Good luck for the rest of the season. Keep it sticky side down, shiny side up and I'll look forward to seeing you at a Whitham trackday next year hopefully. Got to lose some weight and do some gym work first, I make Neil look skinny!!

    thank you Lee for another brilliant video, and allowing us to come along and share it , I understand you are used to being up the sharp end, we all know it will not be long before that winning mentality will get you there again, but this was an enormous step on that journey, just remember what you have achieved to get this far

    Just after i cancelled plans to go to Brands for my anniversary, i found out you were making a comeback! Always the way! Very emotional after seeing your reaction to the first session. Its has been quite a journey Lee, i respect you so much for taking us with you. I'm so so chuffed you're back racing. Really is great to see a rider you have followed for years still able to be competitive & i know once your really bike fit your be up where you want to be. All good data now you've raced the bike at least from the weekend. Thanks the vlog & all the best for Thruxton mate 👍🏻👊🏻

    Good on you Lee, it's been a long road. All of you racers are incredibly skilled and incredibly fast obviously, but the grit that you all have inside that propels you to overcome these challenges is maybe the most impressive thing.

    Topman Lee. Amazing to see you back and it was a lovely thing the way that you did it and just came back. The emotional/ mental rollercoaster that you’ve been on is an inspiration. Half guessed after the Arai parade lap at the iom, that the time was once again upon you.Your honesty is second to none(motorhome, hotels, health battles etc). Your winning. Check with Witt to see if he’s got any spare parts (body wise) for you as you bring the talent to his days 😂😂. Love the content. Go well, go fast and keep smiling. Also up the Pringle quota for HRC happiness, you know who I mean. Neil Neil chocolate orange peel.

    I went to Brands Hatch last year for the BSB meet and I took a photo of the bike and Neil was sat there, he gave me the dirtiest look,it was like I had stolen his lunch.. I spoke to Roger who was very nice and I met yourself.. if anyone has the chance of going to a BSB meet it’s well worth the money.
    Good to see you back.

  • @TheScortUK
    @TheScortUK หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great to see you back on it! I've just started the road to recovery, after having a massive tank slapper on the road, which broke my collar bone, and probably wrote my bike off.
    It's day 2 and I'm having to do everything with my non dominant hand - would love the bone to be plated back together, so I don't miss the rest of the riding 'season' but have to follow the NHS advice.
    Worse bit so far, is my mind giving me action replays - the most violent crash I've had (blacked out for the biggest one), so counting the days for those memories to fade away lol
