How I am recovering while riding!

[@DonHenman]

A up lee you have done really well i was in hospital in May with Sepsis at one point they gave me 2 hours to Live but I was in a coma for 5 days.then 5 more days in hospital me and the wife watched you explaining your feelings. It was really emotional for me because it was just how I felt, but wasn't able to explain. Thanks Lee. Keep up the good work. It's great to see you back on the bike

[@Leejohnston]

[@Nutshell_Grammar]

Hi! I was at Cadwell Park on Saturday too, albeit in a different group.. I saw you in the clubhouse at sign on and wanted to say hello but figured we’re all just there to have fun and don’t wanna be bothered so I refrained. Was cool to share the track with you, I’m gonna keep at it and maybe see you there again and be in the same group!

[@Leejohnston]

Thank you! Deffo come say hello! Always love to meet people! Neil’s does too 😂

[@90dfender]

Looking good mate, for me the fact that your passion is obvious to see means you will be back at the top real soon. I cant wait.

[@zxgopher]

Neil in his civvies 🤙🏼

[@curttabor2827]

Glad to see you are feeling better , love seeing the onboard footage ,keep going and you will be ready for the 2024 season. This is one of my favorite tracks, have run it on the xbox game Ride , Thanks for the inside look Cheers

[@Leejohnston]

Thank you for the feedback 😌 wonder if the Xbox game is as clear as my onboard footage? 😂

[@davidpshaw1969]

Love the videos mate. Keep them coming. You're a lovely bloke with a lovely family, doing what you love. I really hope to meet you some day as I ride round Yorkshire on my classic vfr 800fi. 😁

[@pixelyetimedia1219]

Good to see you back on the bike Lee!

[@bamzager]

Ah, nothing can beat some good old throttle therapy! 💪😀Good to see you back on two wheels, and supported by the ones close to you. Game on Lee...👍

So good to see you back on a bike! Probably going 30 secs a lap faster than me when I'm fully fit too! Keep it up mate 🏍️🏍️

[@Leejohnston]

Thanks 💪🏼👍🏽

[@deano2208]

The physio did a great job in the pits.

[@leeberry3155]

Neil just couldn’t let Lee loose on his own with the bike ,it’s his baby girl ,wile Lee treats her well ,I herd the rev limiter once on the video lap,I know it made Neil shiver haha ,looking good Lee ,getting there pal ,I’ve had a ripped hamstring and stretched ligament in my shoulder from not warming up before workout,load on cold muscles are like starting engines with no oil,once your back training fully,and riding regularly,you’ll be sweet ,it’s a thin line between doing to much to soon , you got this tho m8 😎

[@paulbroughton1451]

Good to see you back lee

[@Jules750..]

Good to see you back on a bike

[@stevekirk6399]

love how the 360 keeps a horizontal position when the bike is flip flopping about. it would be cool if you did a voice over when you do a lap.I think it would get more people into it.

[@Leejohnston]

Was going to do a voice over for this video, but didn’t know if it would ruin the video for you guys 😂 Thank you for your feedback, I know for the next onboard!

[@TrackDayTona]

At my age (60) a proper pre-track stretch is essential if I want to be able to get down stairs the next day. Currently recovering from a big off at Pembrey on Saturday. I walked away but the bike is going to need some intensive physio! ☹

[@Leejohnston]

glad your okay, bikes can get fixed. We take abit longer 😂

[@FrancieNolan-j8b]

Well done delighted for you

[@davetaylor4741]

Racers. No stopping you. Looking good. Sounding a lot happier. Hope things continue to improve.

[@Leejohnston]

I hope so too

[@GT380man]

Just terrific.

[@sirlancelot4777]

Fucking proud of you Lee. It takes balls to get back on the bike. But we love bikes... It's what we do. ❤️

[@taureentom]

Hope the recovery keeps improving over winter and allows you to give British supersport title another crack

[@Leejohnston]

Me too, thank you 🙏🏽
