I feel sure I speak for everyone here, never apologise for the lack of vlogs or content. Your honesty and sincerity is refreshing and fabulous. Hope you get fully fit soon, look after yourself don’t beat yourself up we all think you’re one awesome human, family man and bike racer 🏍️💨😎
Always seems the boys that are camera shy for what ever reason seem to be the true craftsmen. The unsung heroes, accolades mean shit, but quality of work is paramount.
Mate you’re showing how real life is. Keep on with however many videos as you want to. And on the subject of “boring” videos, I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we’re all happy just to watch whatever journey you’re on 👌🏼🤘🏼
Hi Lee from an old fella from Australia. 65 years young and still riding off road and on road. I just wanted to thank you for your vlogs and your channel and your time and your efforts for putting them together, I really appreciate and enjoy them! I've been a huge fan of Irish road racing and road racing in general, especially after watching 'V for victory' with Joey Dunlop. I've followed the TT for many years now and have been a fan of yours and watched your progression and amazing achievements since some of your first outings there. I just want to wish you a full and speedy recovery and to wish you all the very best with everything in the future. Thanks again for letting us into your life. All the best mate!👍 Gazza.
Fi driver Graham Hill after breaking both legs at Watkins Glenn in autumn 1968, talking about getting fit for 1969, “Time is of the essence and I don’t have much essence left.” All the best Lee.
Good man that you are and a fighter. Your lady is a Saint, and Niel deserves a frickin knighthood. Had my first chemotherapy treatment today and your right, no photos or videos. Looking forward too seeing you on the podium again.
The man is honestly with no BS attitude, which I really do like. His mental fortitude is something to be admired as I found out myself in 2021. Shoulder rebuild, T12 L4 and L5 broken . 5 fractures of the pelvis fecked up my kidney. It's harder getting back on a bike or getting in a car mentally. Last August, I decided to go solo to the IOM for the manx , difficult to explain to some people but think Lee will know exactly where I'm coming from. I'm now 71 and riding on three wheels with another battle ahead. You either get busy living or get busy dieing. Ride safe .
Each visit is another baby step towards TT or my personal favourite the "manx" Everything for myself is getting back every year so i can help look after gladiators such as you Lee with being one of the orange army. I've got everything crossed and lot's of prayers you'll be back better than ever. And think how sweet it's going to be lifting those trophies and standing on the top steps will be!
Lee I’m sure viewers understand you have a busy life, trying to get fit to go back to doing something that you love and is your livelihood. The last year is a true reflection on life as a Motorcycle Racer. Some people think it’s all glamorous. But your vlogs have certainly shown it’s not. You put a lot of hard work into getting fit and running the team. Most people would have given up by now. You have certainly shown it takes a special kind of person to Race Motorcycles. We all appreciate the time you put into share the highs and lows of your life. Keep up the great content Lee and hope all goes well with your leg. Be great to see you back on your bike. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loving these vlogs mate. Real life isn’t all joy and rainbows and I appreciate you showing us the crap side of racing and all that goes with it. Can’t wait to see you back on a bike and when that moment comes it will be bloody well deserved.
Glad all signs are positive on your recovery. Just had my first 20 mile ride on the push bike in a year and it felt great. Thanks for your support and encouragement!
Don't worry about the vlig content Lee. Hope you're going to get the good news you and we are all waiting for soon buddy. Looking forward to seeing you on a bike again soon 👍
Jaysus lad you have nothing to be sorry for. I know it's easy said but calm down and you're leg will be ready when it's ready everything happens for a reason. You'll be back up on the bike in no time 👍
Lee have been getting sponsored by head and shoulders lol…rocking the smooth hair! Jokes aside glad things are positive and are moving forward! So be back on track. 👍
Your not neglecting us, mate. your trying to get fit and look after your health for your family and career and we all want to see you back racing again but your health comes first mate take care we are still all behind you with our support 👍
Glad to see the carbon fibre coming alone nicely on the bike, also good to see that the leg is getting closer to the Finnish line …. Patience is a hard thing to master lol
Ur doing great m8 just wait till ur 💯 even if it means missing this season. I know it's not what you want but if must be then that's what it'll be. Keep er lit and see you soon all the best bud
Keep it positive Lee. You are doing so well. Even the mop of hair has grown. Will need that cut or it will be in the way under your skid lid unless your doing a Guy Martin look. Hopefully your backnon a bike for the North West and TT.
Lee I've been in my current job 7 or 8 years & I've only had 5 weeks off work, 4 of them was when I had a new knee. I'm getting another after the TT & told my boss I'm aiming to be off 3 wks. I know exactly where you're coming from
Healing takes time so don’t rush it I would rather see you on the bike than as a commentator lol. And don’t worry about the vlog we understand you’re busy as hell and have a lot going on and we aren’t going anywhere. So relax and don’t worry just get better! Cheers from California.
I thought,”I can do anything”…………..until I went to the TT.!!? Lee you guys are built differently. What you and your family have been through, would smash most people. But you just have one aim, to be back racing. If you miss one season, so what! just get back fit and well mate!
Im trying to recover after a medical emergency and surgery you never know how tough things can be until you go through something like that, so glad yar back lee keep on trucking mate wish I could get my bike fixed and get out and ride I'll just have too settle for watching bike channels on youtube lol
Good to see you have filled out a bit lee look way better still bit furstrated. TT pod casts ect probs not helped 😂 A cant fault nhs my knee surgion has become a mate over the years. Just got take preshure off and pay for private bits and bobs to give you the best chance ats what a did hope see you on roads soon glad hutchy is back lad is a inspiration aswell
Grate to see you + on the blog nice to to here the progress too hope you can make the North west racing ? If not was you going over to watch it ? The Carbon looks fantastic can’t wait to see the bikes next stage . Keep +
Good to hear your on the mend lee Oulton park this weekend, will you be there ( obviously not racing) Got a great photo of you last year 👌 Keep positive mate, 👍🏼
Thank you and as always a special thank you to Christy for every thing she does. Lee stress will kill you slow down , yep just realized I said that to a man that goes fast for a living . Thank you for the darkside of the racing world , yep bad stuff gets in the way of the fun sh . just keep going forward and we all will be here. Cheers
Don't worry about us idiots out here ,getting your leg to work is all you should worry about and keeping healthy for your Mrs and kid ,don't push too hard ,time is just time and all it takes is time and a bit of luck and money, we bikers know that sometimes life is pretty shit as well as great and we know about sponsors and deadlines and all that,but i'm sure you'll be back ASAP but don't do or feel pushed to do anything before your ready and happy .
Positive vibes being sent your way Lee, and fvcking about with the fixator ffs? My best mates big brother ended up with one on his right leg over two decades ago, you'd see him out on his bike going one way, jacket, jeans and a boot. See him going the other way and it would be a fixator and a slipper. Even to this day i still cringe at the thought of what could of happened if he binned it again...
is that plaster putty for the molds? I've just tried making some carbon fairing bits for my bike and so far its come out pretty crap. Fair play its only my first attempt, but im always looking to improve what i know. Glad to see youre well, I hope next week brings good news
new what ??? lol got get use your talking lol thats really really good job were you going put the turbo this is not going to happen on my bike for sure to much trouble lol good day mate right lol 🤔😳😎
Hi Lee watching the channel wondering what depth you do in the chamber? Do you feel a benefit from going every day? I go every week and if not I feel the difference. Wishing you all the best.
Don't stress about the Vlogs mate, you need to focus on your recovery. we are just along for the journey
I feel sure I speak for everyone here, never apologise for the lack of vlogs or content. Your honesty and sincerity is refreshing and fabulous. Hope you get fully fit soon, look after yourself don’t beat yourself up we all think you’re one awesome human, family man and bike racer 🏍️💨😎
100 per cent agree.
I agree!👍
Always seems the boys that are camera shy for what ever reason seem to be the true craftsmen. The unsung heroes, accolades mean shit, but quality of work is paramount.
Just humble guys
Masters only need their work to be seen 😉
Some people just respect their own privacy . Fair play. 👍
Mate you’re showing how real life is. Keep on with however many videos as you want to. And on the subject of “boring” videos, I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we’re all happy just to watch whatever journey you’re on 👌🏼🤘🏼

Just put out your videos when you are good and ready, Lee. But, above all, heal well.
Those carbon fibre pieces are just beautiful.....
Every little step is one closer to your goal Lee👌 keep up the great work you have the best people around you 👍🏻
Don't worry about the content of your blogs. It's a side that us fans need to understand. Keep up the hard work, and all the best for the season.
No need to explain about the vlogs, it's good to see you when we do 👍 take good care of yourself 🙂

Nice update dude, sounds all good. Up the NHS, it's not perfect, but better than medical debt 😁
Very true 🤣
👍
Stay positive, doing well! Will we keep an eye for you next week 😜😜i would lend you me porsche but i think theres a few road closures this way 😂😂
Hi Lee would it not have been cheaper easier and quicker to 3d scan and print one of Clive Padgetts air boxes then hydro dip it for carbon effect?
I have a question have you dyed your hair??
Haha have you seen the greys on the side mate I need it doing 🤣
New sponsorship deal with "just for men" 😂
Positive vibes being sent your way Lee, and fvcking about with the fixator ffs? My best mates big brother ended up with one on his right leg over two decades ago, you'd see him out on his bike going one way, jacket, jeans and a boot. See him going the other way and it would be a fixator and a slipper. Even to this day i still cringe at the thought of what could of happened if he binned it again...
I can see you and your bike all in yellow, looking like a Banana one day sponsored by Yfood 😂
Hi Lee, you do know that Matt Armstrong has Y Food as a channel sponsor. Maybe time to give them a touch up?
is that plaster putty for the molds? I've just tried making some carbon fairing bits for my bike and so far its come out pretty crap. Fair play its only my first attempt, but im always looking to improve what i know.
Glad to see youre well, I hope next week brings good news
new what ??? lol got get use your talking lol thats really really good job were you going put the turbo this is not going to happen on my bike for sure to much trouble lol good day mate right lol 🤔😳😎
Hi Lee watching the channel wondering what depth you do in the chamber? Do you feel a benefit from going every day?
I go every week and if not I feel the difference.
Wishing you all the best.
I recognise that voice of the carbon man. 😂
No comment 🤣
Do you think you'll be visiting any bsb meets over the season, Q&A or autograph signings ??
Yes that’s the plan to do the rest of the bsb season
What is the netflix show they were filming in the hospital. And the bbc
I reckon you'd help your recovery if you bought a tidy porsche-bike.
Just for men eh kidda 👍
thought you were gonna have some carbon wrapped around yer leg lad
Soon be pulling the wire lee.
You going to be fit enough to race next week at the NW Lee?
Ya carbon fibre guy sounds suspiciously like Carl Pilkington.. 🤔
Dam you caught me 🤣
Looks like a turtle murder
Have dyed your hair? You have, havent you lol
Dont put too much presdure on yourself mate.
