Well done to you. As a TT Paramedic, who first went to the TT in 2000, (thank god, as I saw Joey race his last event), I always think how much DJ, Martin Finnegan, Richard Britton, Hizzy Et Al would love to be still riding the course. Your memory is kept alive still - one and all.
thanks Lee, you have given the TT another dimension this year what you have done either behind or in front of the camera has been brilliant, obviously we will miss that next year, but the joy and excitement you have when on the bike was plain to hear and see, that lap was special thank you for putting the effort in to record it and we get to see a legend at the end !!!! what more could we ask for
As soon as you accelerated out of the start onto the straight and the engine kicked into life, a massive smile went across my face - and that didn't leave til the end of the lap. I've loved the insight you've given the fans from your vlogs, commentary and punditry - but what brings me joy in this video is just how much fun you're clearly having from start to finish.
"Going to take this one easy" then hammers down Bray Hill and jumps at Ballaugh Bridge 😂 Nice lap Lee! We can feel the joy through the screen on that one. I was in Kirk Michael giving you a wave from the side of the road that day 👋
Lee, loved this lap and the commentary. It is a really fantastic thing for those of us who are not used to the 100-200mph speeds to see a lap slow enough for our brains to comprehend the scenery and the course. Your joy to be back out on the course is infectious and clearly evident. You are truly a unique individual whose openness and communication skills rival your racing skill and we thank you for that, as you have added a level of understanding to this unbelievable event which we have not had previously as viewers. Can't wait for next year to see you racing the TT at full strength.
Absolutely brilliant, It was like a group of mates out for the best Sunday Blast ever. I loved the look on Neil's face when he got handed the bike. "Where the f**k is he" 😂
Lee that was mega!! You kinda had me with a tear in my eye with the shear joy of you getting out on the Triumph & then the emotions you had as you found your favourite parts of the course. Great to see, thank you for the vlog & really can't wait to see ya back in BSS, we miss ya mate 👍🏻👊🏻
That was savage loved every minute of this Lee, strength determination motivation and savage power, fair play, will we go for a little, you grinning under your helmet, our point of view neeooommmm hes gone you sayin ye "even goin this slow "🤔😅 keep her lit 🏍️💨💥👊🏼👊🏼
Brilliant lee to see you back on the bike doing what you were born to do. Look forward to seeing you back at the BSB, all the very best stay fit and take care 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I had a smile on from ear to ear just watching that knowing how much you were enjoying it. Fair play Lee. Onwards and upwards now Lee can't wait to see you back out racing.
Amazing video on so many levels for those who follow your channel. Great to see you on the race bike. That's one of the best on boards. The backwards view of the crowd on the mountain is a trip. First real lap on a new bike. Respect man. You guys are on another level. Thanks and best of luck.
So good to see you out on track and enjoying it I look forward to watching you go past me at 2025 tt good to see Neil with a cheeky smile at the end ;)
That look Grate well Done 👍 camera footage was Grate too nice too see a smile on your face . And Grate too see Neil on the footage at the end of the lap and he look smart in his casual wear 👍looking forward to the next one
Mate this is fucking amazing! The excitement in your voice from the second you set off down Glencrutchery road was amazing to hear! Keep smashing it mate!
I think it should be manditory for every rider to have a mic fitted just to catch the giddiness as you take off. It was a joy to hear that from you thanks Lee
Lee top man and too all the Racers who entertained the fans on the race days and parade as you said it is special and I love how you say you weren't really trying and get it but it looked insanely fast to a mere road rider like myself !!
Watched you set off, then looked away to dunk a biscuit in my tea. Looked back, and you were at Quarterbridge. Biscuit wasn't even soggy! Great to see you back in the saddle, Lee!
So good to see you back on a bike on the Island Lee 😎💪🏻 And to hear you so excited to be back, on the bike, I'll be honest brought tears to my eyes while smiling like a Cheshire cat 😊 Thanks for posting this up 👍🏻
Loving the content, you were awesome on TT+... It must have been hard to be there and not race, but to get some riding in and to know its all there should help... mend well Lee
Some bloody parade lap! that was slow to you but the humans watching were all nervous. Glad you made it round in one piece. Now get healed and go win that championship.
Mad seeing this on road tyres and seeing the big touring bikes not hanging about as well 😂😂 All of them said “We’re not racing!” At the start and then proceeded to put the hammer down 😂❤ Love it.
You definitely had more fun making that, than any of us watching it can comprehend to be fair. 😁 Thou judging by some comments so far - we're a close second 😂 Class video dude, it was a joy to watch and hear how happy you sounded. 😎
🥲 Tears of joy, Lee!! I feel your passion for riding the TT course again and admit to crying in my helmet while howling over the mountain; It's a magical place to ride. ATB with racing soon.
Excellent! Lee’s perspective is so informative & entertaining. It is extremely fun as a viewer to sense your unadulterated joy at being on the bike & going around the course. Thanks to Lee & those who provided the technical expertise to bring us the video & audio. Also to the editor(s) & all post-production individuals. Cheers!
Excellent for you lee,like a little kid with all his Xmas,s came at once, and the bike looks great,cant wait for you to be back on bike full time,spot on😊
Bloody hell Lee so thats your idea of taking it easy is it ? Looked like you was proper going for it ! fooking excellent footage and great to see you back doing what you love fella👍
As someone who has suffered with depression at times of adversity listening to your pure unadulterated joy has made me cry. Thanks young man and keep on with your recovery. I think that is the black dog firmly kicked in the arse. Love it
Brilliant video. Your 'taking it easy' and my 'taking it easy' vary wildly!! You out qualified Steve Plater on that lap, and he's the fastest man on a parade lap 😅
Whoa there, buckaroo! 🤠 😅 My favorite onboard yet! Hearing the exhilaration & euphoria in your voice brought me tears of joy! 🥲 Can't wait to see you racing again, Champ!💪💙
“Even going this slow” he says. That was my favorite rider point of view from the IOM ever, because of the commentary from Lee.
@stantissue2065. FAVOURITE.
Well done to you.

Don't know about you but this brought a tear to my eye😅 the joy in your voice was there for all to hear. Can't wait for your proper return in '25.
Once a racer, always a racer!! RESPECT!!! Can’t wait to see you back racing👍👍👍

Utterly impressed with your commentary at the NW200 & TT Lee. I'm now referring to you as Northern Ireland's version of James Whitham 🤙🏻🏁☘️
Fantastic vlog. Your voice, yeeehaaaas and giggles showed how much you were enjoying this "gentle bimble" round the Island.
I'm not crying.. Your crying 😂 absolutely wonderful video Lee, it's brilliant to hear the joy in your voice
The joy in your voice and that howling triple must make this the best video I've seen 2024. Thanks Lee you've made an old man very happy!! 😁

I watch the TT religiously every year,and it still amazes me how you guys have time to blink going round the Isle of Man.. loved it.
I think it should be manditory for every rider to have a mic fitted just to catch the giddiness as you take off. It was a joy to hear that from you thanks Lee
Lee top man and too all the Racers who entertained the fans on the race days and parade as you said it is special and I love how you say you weren't really trying and get it but it looked insanely fast to a mere road rider like myself !!
