You don’t have to apologise, we all understand just take your time and get yourself fit and sorted
Takes a brave person to open up about the struggles they are facing. Its great to see your up on your feet and getting better every day. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery
Totally agree! Also, anything can be content if ya just post it! Taking the kiddo and lady for a stroll or showing us anything wherever, whenever. Nothing but support from us subscribers, I'm sure of it🎉
No rush!! I'm sure the vast majority of us just like seeing and hearing from you and the fam! I know, I sure do! 🫶
Bloody ell Lee, my wife and I watched it and that takes alot to just even talk about it, even knowing thank goodness you are on the mend, watching the footage was quite emotional. Nobody expects an apology, everyone's just pleased to see you here, wishing you a speedy recovery mate.
Nothing but respect for sharing that footage and talking about what you are going through. The vlog in itself will help you come to terms with the crash and process everything in your own time. Nothing but admiration for you and your family and friends and the amazing team supporting you all.🫶
Broken bones heal relatively quickly, but a broken mind takes much longer. Takes a brave man to open up and reveal the struggles you’ve been having. But behind every great man, is a greater woman and Christie is with you all the way. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hopefully back on the grid
I had massive head on crash over 20 yes ago.... nearly lost my life....left me with a bad limp and loss of full movement in arm ...I still get emotional passing the crash site to this day.....I same as you had some mental problems for a while....but they will heal in time....all the best ...hope to see you racing again soon...
Not gonna lie I had to wipe a few tears watching this. Lee, you are an inspiration. I cannot imagine what you're going through but I know you will get there with bells on. Shout out to your amazing family friends and support network. Take whatever time you need, do whatever you need to do, the racing will be here waiting and so will us fans. All the best mate
Lee, my hat is taken off to you sir... Fixing the broken bones is only half the battle, you will have helped so many people just by your openness on addressing the mental side of any trauma. Thank you for letting us into your life, you have some great people around you.
I agree! Well said! So glad he's working through the mental trauma! This journey will inspire & help so many. Continuing prayers for a speedy & complete recovery!
🙏💪💙
I’m only about 2-3 minutes in and I’m so sincerely crushed. You’re a great racer and ever greater person. We’re all praying and pulling for you to recover fully, Lee.
All the best for you and your family.
Probably took a lot of guts to do this vlog, but it's really good to see you on the mend and smiling again. You've a great bunch of family and friends as a support network, plus all your fans are right behind you. Get well soon Lee, take care.
Lee, I have no, or few words. Just thanks for your honesty, transparency, and words of encouragement to those who suffer mental trauma. Your a great guy, get well soon.
Pleased don’t beat yourself up Lee,people don’t think you’ve let them down. Your a loveable character and very funny,concentrate on your recovery and your family. Get well soon.👍👍
I think that’s the most honest post crash vlog I have ever watched. The upmost respect to you for doing it and feel sure I speak for everyone, that we are just glad you are in one piece🙏. We always knew Neil and the crew were like family and here is the proof. Get well soon, we all wish you a speedy recovery, stay strong….Big love and positive thoughts from the whole biking community
I'm a bit speechless after watching this. I've grown into a big fan of yours and road racing because of you and your channel. I'll be honest and say that this was a tough video to watch, but extremely grateful that you and Christie decided to share so much. Wishing you both the best future, whatever shape it takes, and a speedy recovery. 💙
“Tough times don’t last forever. Tough people do”. Some Greek thinker
No need to apologize Lee,you haven’t let anyone down take care pal and look after yourself and your family 👍🏻🏴
Total respect for opening up on Lee. Takes a strong person to bare their sole about something so personal. Inspirational and all the best.
As a 60 year old biker whose been through some damage over the years..I can say you Lee, and your beautiful family are all you need to help you get over the mental pain and doubts. The physical stuff will mend and they will help you get back to your old self. Your health care team, your mates, your team and your sponsors are all wanting you to get back to your old self . Take your bloody time and enjoy your beautiful family time. When the body's repaired your mind will also process everything and you are the one thats in charge of that. Wishing you and your family all the very best in your full recovery and take your time when you first get back on the bike...that's a big hurdle getting back to normal. Big man hugs to you and lots of love to you all. ❤🏍️💨🤕👍
Get Christie on camera more! Thanks to the stewards, medics & hospital staff. Love to family, team, sponsors etc. Good luck on the road back, LJ13, racing or otherwise.
Thanks for sharing what happened and how you came back from the injuries. Your lucky you have a great family.total respect mate.After watching the North West in the iplayer I was less than impressed with the organisers.but the marshalls and medics did a great job.best wishes to you fella.
Sir, from someone who’s been there, with exactly the same injuries (down to the same wires, bolts and plates), you are an absolute soldier.
It took me at least 9 months to be able to speak openly about my crash without falling into tears. It still bothers me and it’s been 12 years.
The road to recovery is long but every step is hugely rewarding. You seem to be surrounded by the right people, with kind hearts and that will help immensely. Take your time, don’t rush into anything. We will be here awaiting for the giggles and laughs that’s been mostly this channel.
I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for this insight into your rehab.
Ps: morphine is a fantastic drug innit 😂
Opening up and sharing how you were and are truly feeling takes a hell of a lot! Really appreciate you sharing this with us! I think i can speak for everyone here when I say I’m so glad to see your recovering and getting back to normal. Won’t lie I shed a few tears watching this!
Don’t apologise for anything, we are just glad your here and on the road to recovery :)
For all the winding up of Neil infront of the vlogs it just shows his true value of a personal and working friendship, your wife's an angel,but I guess you knew that already, and the ickle one is credit to both ,no need for feelings of letting people down Lee, just rest up ,and wonder how lucky you are to have a very large web of friends to support you ,all the best for the future
Takes a big man to be able to open up and show this side of racing/life. Said it before but big up to you and Chrissie for putting your content together, especially what must be so hard for you both to discuss. ❤
I struggle with trauma from my past and I have so much respect for you opening up to your fans about your struggles. You're an absolute inspirational human and I wish you all the best on your recovery, thank you for sharing some of the hardest moments of your life so far with us all, it is very much appreciated, take care Lee.
Thanks for sharing, can't have been easy sharing your journey. All the best for a speedy recovery.
Superb Lee, you are a bloody legend. Well done on the recovery so far, stay strong!!
Glad your still with us and hopes for a speedy and full recovery.
But also super happy that you got to experience what it's like being tall and having to adjust a camera to fit in the top of your head, if only for a few seconds!
Bloody hell.... that was hard to watch, can't even begin to imagine what you felt to see it on screen. Been following you with age's, what can I say? You are a legend and best wishes, hopefully you'll recover more and more every day. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this Lee, my utmost respect to you and everyone around you.
Love seeing Christie too. It's great to hear her point of view as she's such an integral part to your family and racing
So happy to see you are doing well, wishing you and yours a speedy recovery 🙏❤️
You just absolutely impressed me Lee!! Amazing to see how you handle everything and deal with it. And yes the trauma is an injury just like your broken bones. So so cool and impressive that you talk about it. Love it that you're being open about it. Thank you a lot for sharing all of this. Kind of an eyeopener. You're amazing and you will get there! ❤
Massive respect for you Lee, keep pushing on & hope you have a speedy recovery 💪🏻👍
Thanks for this and the honesty you have portrayed throughout. It is a long way back but you have the best people around you and lots of love and support
Fantastic to see you on the mend . You have a great team behind you good luck and here’s to a speedy return to health.
Hard watch 💔 sending you, Christie and Jesse all the love in the world! Wishing you a speedy recovery Lee, take care x
So brave to share x
Glad to see you back! Best of luck with continuing recovery
So happy that you are here to tell the tale Lee. All the best on your road to recovery.
Such an honest open and moving piece of filming - good on you both for doing this and so much respect to you for being willing to share your awful experience with us all. The calmness of those medics treating you was something else
Great to see you both smiling and the amazing chemistry you have together - to have some humour each day is a good place to get better from
Lee, for you to open up about the difficult feelings you are having is immense and shows how strong you really are.
They breed them strong in NI.
Simply seeing you and the fact you are getting better each day is an absolute tonic.
Keep it up and hope to see you in the paddock soon. PS, I thought I saw Neil smiling briefly!!! ❤
Good luck with the recovery Lee and everything is fine as before and thanks for such a good job great family ❤✌
Thank you for sharing, you haven't let anyone down, you keep up the good work, snd hope you continue to get better everyday! 😃
It's just good to see you on camera again. Don't rush your recovery Lee & it's good to see you still have your sense of humour despite all the setbacks.
Your family, team & friends are amazing. I'm so pleased to see you are getting stronger & look forward to watching your progress.
Well done Christie & Jesse you're his rock
Wow this is such an unbelievably raw video. You have some amazing support right there. Such a brilliant character. Thank god you are still with us. Thank you both for sharing this. Get well soon mate.
Thank you, Lee and Christie. What a powerful video. Sending you all the positive vibes and all the best for your recovery.
I'm glad you are on the mend both physically and mentally! You're one tough man and also lucky to have such great love and support from family and friends. Nothing to be ashamed of for seeking help in regards to your mental health.
Remember, it is a marathon and not a sprint to heal up physically and mentally. Just like recovering physically, mentally your gonna have good days and bad days. Keep fighting the good fight!
I'll keep you and your family and friends in my prayers.
Cheers from a US fan!
Glad your still with us here lee, no need to apologise about anything all you need to do is take your time healing , speedy recovery you have amazing people around you and Jessie is so bravo he's a champ
Massive respect. Opening up and showing what goes on physically and mentally after something like what you have gone through is inspirational. Hope your recovery goes well. All the best.
Thank you for sharing and being so honest about all, you are fantastic and just take your time to get well, also christie is doing a great job. Speedy recovery mate
Oh wow Lee and Christy, we had our hearts in our mouths watching this. We can only imagine a fraction of what this whole experience must feel like it and seeing it unfold on camera must have been an extremely hard watch for you both. Please don’t apologise Lee for giving us a glimpse of the pain this trauma is causing you, we love the ‘you’ you share with us followers and we love you even more for keeping it so real. Take your time to get well and get strong. Team Lee Johnston will ride again and we can’t wait to see that 😊 love to you all x
Lee, this is the most honsest and most heavy bike race vlog I have ever seen. I love the truth on how hard it has been, best of luck with your recovery
Thanks for the update Lee, that was a hard watch. Real glad you're on the mend! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
So good to see you on the mend. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Takes a big man to say what you said about your emotions the last few months Lee. I really hope you’re back to your old self asap. You’ve got good people around you after all. All the best
You and Sweeney making a days of thunder remake? Get well soon chief 💪🏻
Your bravery shines through in the fact that you're facing up to the demons. Well done and hope for a speedy recovery Lee. Total respect to you and your family and team mates.
Good luck to you Lee,
I wish you a good recovery, take your time, and let yourself mend in body and mind. We all look forward to seeing you back, but only when you are ready.. All the very best.
OMG I’m getting emotional just watching it, big respect for talking about it and showing us the footage. So glad you’re on the mend and know there are a lot of fans out there wishing you well and thank you to all marshals medics doctors and nurses. Good on you Lee😊
Get well soon Lee!
You're doing the right thing opening up about the accident I had a really big "off" in 2018 (9 days in a coma and 17 operations and 4 monrhs in hospital pincluding shitting the bed,You're not alone) 0:03 0:03 and its taken me until now to get help and wish I'd done it before-take care fella racing can wait just get your head straight and the rest will follow
Lee
You’re the man!!! 🏋🏻
Thanks for sharing what must be a difficult thing to talk about.
I wish you a full recovery.
Rooting for you ❤
Speedy recovery, great to see u back 🙏
Firstly, I am pleased to see you are improving! It must have been hard filming this. But it's clear to see you are surrounded by love and support from family friends colleagues and us loyal fans are all behind you too!
Bought tears to my eyes this bro. So happy for you and your family that you're on the mend. Can't imagine how hard this journey is, wish you nothing but the best going forward
Man that crash was obviously a tough watch...and it was "spectacular" enough! Know that there are fans all over the world (this one in New Zealand) that are still cheering you on. It's a privilege to be able to somehow accompany you on the journey thru these vlogs...and as always, do what is right for you and your family...if that means taking a break in vlogging or going hard out vlogging we will all understand. Rest up and get well!
You get better Lee. I love your openness/honesty and thank you for sharing. You made me cry!
Hello Lee thank you for giving us a update and what you have been though after your crash , wishes you a full recovery
Won’t hear it champ !! Just keep your head high!
You have the entire community behind you ! But more importantly christy and Jesse ❤
You will come back strong
And this is directly to you christy! Your amazing!
I watched this last night and honestly you don't need to apologise to any fans. You and your family are absolute gems. Credit to your supportive wife. And you deserve credit for admitting things were not alright. Wishing you the absolute best in your recovery ❤
Your a great guy, great rider and an inspiration to many. Concentrate on your recovery and wish you a full recovery soon as possible 👍❤️
Sending love and get well wishes to you all, what a brave thing to do this video but we'll done you for showing us all what you've been through and how you're coping, other people will benefit from this, knowing its ok to not be ok, talking to someone is ok and so is crying. Hats off to you Lee, so pleased you're on the mend x
No idea what to comment really, but feel I need to as I found this emotional and upsetting….
I can only begin to imagine the physical and mental pain you have been through and are still currently enduring. To share in such an honest way, on a fully public platform, is truly courageous.
I’m sure many of your supporters, like I was, were reduced to tears watching.
And then there’s Christie, what can you say…. She must be an absolute rock of a Woman.
I wish you a full and speedy recovery Lee, we all love you mate.
Great to see you Lee. My Dad and I have been following you for a while and he was on end of life care around the time of your accident and was still regularly asking how you were until he passed. Take care and take your time. Best wishes to you all
absolutely amazing Lee, huge respect to you , your wife and all of the team. Your a mighty mighty man.
Great to see the help and support network you have around you Lee and wonderful to hear you're starting to feel more like yourself again. All the best in your continued recovery and to the wonderful family and team you have around you.
Neal !!!! I bet you're happy he's been bulking up otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry you ! You're brave man Sir !
Lee you’re one of the nicest blokes in motorbike racing, thank you for sharing this side of the sport with us all. I’m from the Isle of Man, you were missed this TT, I doubt you’ll remember but you came down the hyperbaric a few years ago, next to the fire station and we let you have a go of the hydraulic cutting (jaws of life) at the fire station where I work in Douglas! All the best to you and your family! 🚒🤙
Glad you are still here and on the mend! Nice to see all the support from your family and your crew. Take care of yourself you are a great inspiration to everyone.
What can I say. After my off at Oulton last march ending my season, I really struggled with lots of stuff, this vlog really shows an insight to post crash trauma. I hope non racers, wives girlfriends and mates watch this. Took weeks for me too watch the on board footage of my crash. Stay strong and looking forward to more content and seeing back on a bike
Best wishes for your recovery, as well!💪✌️
Well done for making this Christie, I know it sounds hard to people who don't understand but we expect this from our heroes like Lee. What we don't see enough of is how they need the ones they love supporting them and going through pure hell to get them through it. Well done girl and the both of you keep loving each other.
That’s a really kind message. Thank you 😌
@@christiegee2202 agree! 😇 Please don't hesitate to reach out to us, your extended family you've yet to meet, for help towards medical or any other costs, etc. Maybe some merch available?
Much ❤️🩹🙏 from 🇺🇸
Great to see you back up on your feet Lee. Wishing you a speedy recovery both mentally & Physically. ❤
Big respect lee, thanks for sharing the whole experience, eventually the pain will subside and the itch to race again will surface, hopefully you'll race again, you've still got it wee man. Cheers!
Fucking hell Lee😢 I'm in bits for ya, I had a similar crash myself just road riding, which ended my racing journey and I fully understand what you've gone through. Massive hugs to you, Christie and Jessie. Heal up fella, don't rush back to a bike take your time. Keep ya chin up, you will get better pal, it just takes time.
Massive love to you ❤❤
Do not apologise to anyone on here. We're all so glad to see you and how your recovery is going .
Christie is a diamond along with everyone around you , in fact all of us here and the wider world.
Stay strong
Thanks so much sharing so many personal things you didn't have to, we are all behind you and hope you have a speedy recovery and will all look forward to seeing you back to full health and competing again, you are so lucky to have so many good people around you and a great family, all the best from my family to yours
Massive respect Lee. Get well soon physically and mentally, You got this!!
Great to see you're making progress Lee. Massive respect for showing the other side of recovering from a crash, it's something us fans don't see or probably even consider really. You've got some great people around you and we all knew Neil loved you really! Vlog when you want, don't feel obliged to, we'll all still be here when you do.
It's good to see Christie's beautiful face. Get well soon man.
Abit pervy that mate
@@Alex-tj4vd That ridiculous statement says more about you than me.
Ah man, so good to see you somewhat better. Excited for the next phase of your recovery. Stay strong!
100%Respect for you and your family and friends. Wishing you a full & speedy recovery Lee👌👌👏👏👏
Hey Lee - that must have been so hard for you to put together. Its been a tough time for you, Kristy and the rest of the team. My partner went through something very similar just before the new year. His injuries were not nearly as extensive as yours although he was incredibly lucky not to die as his leg was all but ripped off in his crash - unfortunately they couldn't save his leg, but he's fought hard and hoping to be back on his bikes before the end of this year. I hope Kristy is looking after herself as well as looking after you, you both need to take as much time as you need to heal both mentally and physically. But it was good to see you up and about. We should have been at the TT this year (for the first time) and were hoping to see you there, but then couldn't travel (from Australia) due to my partner, Les's, injuries and have had to delay our plans until next year. We'll look out for you when we're there! :) x
Lee, it’s just great to see you again! You’ve got absolutely nothing to apologise for lad! I’m just glad to see you up and being you, telling the storey like it is, no sugar coating nothing!
I feel your pain bud, just gone through something similar (although nowhere near the extent of injury’s you’ve suffered) but none the less plates, screws, wire!!!!! It’s sh1t isn’t it, in my head it stunk too, did that happen with you?
Anyway, it’s mega to see you are ok. Missed yi lad!!!!!
Ohh and btw, Christy needs to be on the vlog more! Beats looking at your ugly mug all the time 😂😂😂
Get fit again soon buddy.
Love ya!
One hell of a video Lee, will inspire a lot of people to seek help as you have! 👏👏 brave man
This is the best vid i have seen from Lee. Love the vulnerability of it and how (i imagine) you might feel letting people down. These are the time to appreciate the support network you have, friends & family but also the excellent (unsung hero’s) of the NHS (i am recovering from recent surgery). Concentrate on getting well, continue to raise awareness of talking about these things and mental health. Thanks for sharing.
Fella you've no reason to apologise for not vlogging , it takes a lot of balls to admit you're going through physical and mental shit at the moment , you're an inspiration to people going through the same things , take care fella x
Much respect for doing this video Lee you don't have to apologize to anyone. Everyone who's raced motorcycles or ridden motorcycles knows crashing isn't a walk in the park. It's the dark side that is never spoken about. To everyone involved in helping Lee get well thank you, you people are heroes.
All the best mate. Great vlog from you guys. Take it easy and can’t wait to see you back into it.
Great to see you progressing Lee hang in there it will be great to see you back racing soon it’s not been the same without you racing speedy recovery 💪🏻💪🏻
It’s strange, I don’t actually know you and you certainly don’t know me, but your vlogs always seem personal. You make it feel like we’re there with you, part of the team and your best mate. You bring us on your journey through the high’s and lows, I have to wipe away the tears watching this as it’s so honest and real. I feel a bit of a fool writing this, I’m just an old, ex racer, living in the IOM, but my heart goes out to you , your family , team and “real” friends.
Get well soon fella, and best wishes to everyone.
Ditto. Another ex racing fool on the Iom
must say , how bloody awesome was that medical team who attended to you immediately after the crash , legends
Best wishes for your recovery. Respect to ya for being so genuine.
Dude, i`m glad that you are alife ! Keep your head up and stay strong !! Head injuries can be a scary thing, i wish you all the best !!
As a long term race Marshal I have been on the scene at numerous bike, car and truck accidents. Some fatal. We have often been offered counselling to deal with the trauma. But to see it through the eyes of the racer puts it into a different category. For you it is both mentally and physically challenging. You have great support around you. Use it and get better.
I blame them Alpinestar boots
I'd be fairly superstitious and apparently they were borrowed from Taz McKenzie, not good energy. They hooked him onto the bike, otherwise he'd have slid clean off.
