    Mate! Feeling so privileged to have accompanied you round the course for the first time since the last time. Mega that you are back on the island and involved. Never ceases to amaze me that racers cover those roads in a fraction of the time and at multiples of speed than in this video. Welcome back into the game!

  • @grahamhume8135
    @grahamhume8135 Рік тому

    This video has honestly put such a smile on my face.
    I had a bad smash when I was 16, got hit side on by a car doing 60, few broken bones and some major skin grafts on my legs, i was lucky to be alive. I didn't really have any desire to ride a bike for a long time after that. It took me until I was 29 and for my 30th I wanted to pass my bike test and as you say get rid of any demons I had. Well I now have 3 bikes and I love to get out on the bike and it's the best feelings in the world but my safety is important. I want to get home to my kids and wife.
    When you experience something with life changing injuries you look at things through a different lense. Not regret, but perceive things in a different light and you appreciate the smaller aspects of it.
    I'm delighted to see you back on here. Enjoy your riding Boothy!!

I lost the use of my left arm in an accident 26yrs ago, I've been back riding for 23yrs now, currently on a GSXR1000. Let me know which arm you've lost and either I can help or a guy I know who lost his right arm who got back into riding after after seeing what I had done.
