Pretty surreal watching this knowing how it ended, big love to Boothy and everyone at 44T ❤️

[@rpcorseltd5289]

Boothy, legend mate, hope your recovery goes well.

[@hartzy2142]

Boothy, massive respect to you. Undertaking the TT and NW200 takes enough balls, but to release a video like this in such good spirits when you are going through what you are takes some real cajones. I know you most likely won't read this, but on the off chance you do, seeing you go through this and be so real about it brings so much hope to so many. Thank you.

[@dibnah46]

What a legend. Hope he gets back to health soon and all being well back on two wheels. Get well soon mate

[@kmac5849]

Doesn’t surprise me one bit that you have a hero great grandad, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Keep positive boothy 💪🏻

[@czechhero]

A tough watch really, knowing how it ended up for the poor lad. All the best to you, Boothy. Stay strong, brother.

[@ryancox3834]

Never thought I'd be so glad to see that ginger yed. Big love to you Boothy!

[@stevofoz]

Never before have I wanted to hug a man more than during the first 15 seconds of this video. Boothy, we're all with you in spirit and I'm sure we'd all support you in whatever way you need over the coming weeks/months. You're a cherished legend mate, stay strong and I wish you a speedy recovery.

[@monman8183]

Thanks for taking the time out to allow us to be with you Mike. Rest up and a speedy recovery.

[@d675ose7]

Boothy - get back soon mate. A lot of love from the 44teeth followers for all of you involved with the channel & obviously we all want Boothy back as soon as he’s able to - never clicked a crowd funder as quickly as this one👍🏻 Only problem is we won’t know if Al’s spent it all on a hair transplant, or it’s just his wig from “the news”...☺️

[@petergoldstrong6638]

Boothy mate, we've all been waiting for this, and to see you on 44 again. Get well soon pal, we miss you.

[@nicktr6254]

Tough watch that, Boothy you're a legend. All the best with the recovery mate.

[@cwnapier67]

I am glad you uploaded this. It shows why people like you do this and the love they have for the sport. There were some HORRIBLE outcomes for some of the riders this year and I know its hard to think this way but you were lucky. Hope you recover as quickly as possible without any complications and Thank God your still here. Get well Boothy - from Las Vegas, Nevada

[@paulwatterson1688]

I echo many of the comments on here Boothy, by wishing you all the strength and determination in your road to recovery. You have the right attitude going by what you said in your statement a couple of weeks ago and I hope you remain positive. Thinking of you and your family. All the best.

[@mickydebargos]

Massive respect for Boothy and all riders. Took my ZX10R over this year and its just the most amazing place. The mountain section was bonkers and I only hit 130ish. There were guys passing me a good 30-40mph quicker than me. Every one of you lads are true heroes. Get well soon lad 🤞🤞🤞

[@LJ_EightySix]

You’re and always will be a legend. Thank you Boothy

[@andydutton1566]

Absolutely legend Boothy! Heal up quick mate. Missed you on 44t

I am so glad you are still with us Boothy. If anyone can get through the tough recovery process it's you warriors who ride the TT. Respect and love to you sir.

[@Bornie205]

Knowing how this years racing went it was pretty unreal listening to the prep and pre race thoughts. Legend Boothy, get well soon buddy

[@Shinysideup]

Best wishes Boothy, I just read the crowd funding page, didn’t realise how bad it was, stay strong dude what a legend!

[@Lacebylad]

That’s a tough watch Boothy and I can’t begin to imagine the journey home for George, Udders and any other family/friends. Looking well now though so onwards and upwards. More than happy to cross the Humber bridge and have a day at Coningsby, Scampton and Waddington watching the other big bollocks if ever you need a bit of a lift. Just shout.

[@doug3011]

huge love for making this vid when you got huge recovery to deal with..huge shout to Al as well.. you got this booth.. and you will lead a full and active life. ive given to your fund and will give more when I have it.. keep on keeping on brother..Doug

I didn't realize the extent of your injuries until I went to crowdfunder page. So glad you are still with us, stay strong and positive. All the best to you Boothy and your family.

Hard watch knowing what happened afterwards but that's partly why we roll the dice. Well done.

You've still got your balls mate and you have a massive pair nothing but respect for yourself sir 😉 can't wait to watch 💙

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Bit weird watching this knowing how it ended. But Boothy, I’ve nothing but respect for you, full on legend. Hope to see you back on a bike again some time in the future.

[@peterhird3542]

Hi Boothy, It felt so surreal watching your video knowing what the future held. Hoping that you’re on your way to better days ahead. Thank you for showcasing a side of the TT that us mere mortals will never experience. I find it entertaining and enlightening to see what goes on behind the scenes. Best wishes from a fan in Australia 🇦🇺👍

[@paulnelsonisnotabot]

Much love Boothy hopefully a speedy recovery

[@sonomoto9710]

Top geezer. Heading in the right direction with your recovery..plough on through 💪🏼🤙🏼

[@TankToChest]

As a first time TT watcher this year I just don’t understand why no one else gets any coverage of thier race. If anyone is willing to go through the effort and stress of showing up to the TT and are still willing to climb onto a motorcycle and push it around this course they certainly deserve a mention on the leaderboard at the very least. It’s not a race between only 20 people, there are so many many more folks there that had zero coverage. And it’s even more drastic when most of who passed away this year never even got a mention until after they passed away or atleast that’s how it seemed to me. I really don’t want to make it negative. Just want to say that I love every single one of y’all and am always wishing the best.

[@francisnorthwood7862]

Because it is stupid and the cost of getting those guys sewed together again are taken care of by the taxpayer

[@ridingflats]

My only bike and thus TT news comes from these videos, had no idea about Boothy's crash. Awful to hear what happened but glad he's still here. All the best for his recovery.

[@ozzyg82]

Thank God your crash wasn’t fatal. One thing the TT has taught me is people can and do return to race again after injuries, even very serious ones. I imagine the road to recovery probably feels very long right now; however I, for one, can already picture “Bounce-back Boothy” flying again! All the best 👍🏻

[@StuHolland]

God bless you boothy. I admire you for taking on the TT and I'm gutted for what happened to you, but be proud of yourself, it takes major balls to do what you do

[@stephensmith7651]

All the best with the recovery Boothy, we all bloody love you.

[@inlightening]

All the best Boothy! Full and speedy recovery to you! :)

Nice to see you fella! Your a absolute legend! Nothing but love and support to you are your family! Keep the hard work up mate! We're all proud of you!

[@edwardwright1988]

That makes both Great Grandad Boothy and great grans lad Boothy totally legends......reckon your Great Grandad would be nodding his approval of how you conduct and go about your business chief.

[@TankToChest]

Boothy my heart broke this year man. I’ve always adored the TT, I think the Snafel Mt Course is like nothing else on earth, and I try to understand it every year but the coverage in the US has always been hard to find. This was the first year it was live and I was up at 4AM waiting for it to start. I just had such a bad feeling about the big gap between this years race and the last time. Watching it live and realizing that someone has crashed and past in real time was a lot to contend with and I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like for the people that knew anyone personally.

[@Davron103]

Glad to see the man himself! Speedy recovery Boothy! ✊✊✊

[@chrissyp7433]

Positive vibes for you boothy I've missed your one liners, for me it was like the top gear trio for bikes and I really do hope to see you back again. Get well bud all the best.

[@Oilyhands749]

Your a most likeable chap Mr Booth , there is not a conversation had in the bike world at present where “Boothy” isn’t mentioned. Your held in the highest regard , take care and try and keep your spirits up .

[@andrewmurray5966]

To have raced on the Isle of Man TT is an achievement. Be proud of everything you've accomplished mate. Just another chapter of your life to begin. Take every positive away from it and power through the downs 💪👍

[@chrisstewardson1128]

Absolute legend! All the best with your recovery, hopefully get to see you back on two wheels at some point!

[@ManxAndy]

The Man the Myth the Legend…..Big up you Boothy, the bikes looked F**kin stunning, best paint work in the paddock, all the best on the recovery…..👍🇮🇲💪

[@professorvoluck9311]

5 people died at the TT this year and Boothy lost a leg amongst other injuries. There is no other sporting event in the world as dangerous and I truly respect all the riders and their families for supporting them. They don’t do it for the money, just the love of racing. I salute you Boothy and hope you recover quickly.
