This is what pure KZfaq is, good content , no stupid click bait or cheesey editing , just good honest behind the scenes

Despite knowing the results, and listening the radio commentary the interview when you pulled in and the hug after the radio interview had me in tears, and I'd already had some when you and Jordy shared the podium. Was great to see how everyone in the team is so supportive and you have that tight knit to be able to make what must have been a tough choice to pull in and also miss the Senior. As many others had said on the day on social media you were great on comms on the radio with the team, detailed insight, humour and you could feel the passion from you and all the radio team. Big thanks to Christie for putting so much footage in this series of vlogs, and those that sent vids from around the course. Great to see and hear both your thoughts. From those doing vids at the front of the grid to those nearer the back the raw insight and thoughts you share are a privilege to see and hear. Hope you're back to short circuit soon and look forward to more content. 👍

Thank you! I have been waiting for your next KZfaq video. Throughout the IOMTT, you have given us amazing behind the scenes moments. I really hope that you can continue to more videos of your races, family, and friends.

Takes a real man to admit defeat let alone keep a promise. True inspiration lee keep your head up and come back swinging next year, legend!

Liking these vlogs, I love how informal they are. Well done Christie .

Lee did an excellent job in the commentary booth. The feedback on all the groups has been that you were incredible.

Stunning vlog Lee and Christie the best tt vlog ive seen honest and true and well done for keeping bits in that others would cut. Lee your a top man much respect to you stay strong and honest x

Thank you, Lee, and to all your family and team members. Really enjoyable TT series. Look forward to seeing you back next year. You'll have your eyes sorted by then, no doubt. We all know how good you are. Keep at it! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Even though I was at the TT for the middle weekend, seeing these vlogs - not just yours but others too, particularly by Dave Hewson, gives us, the fans, an in depth look at the reality of road racing and the TT in particular. As a spectator , we have to be patient, we never know when racing will happen, indeed if it even will, because of all the myriad pf reasons why there has to be a delay. However, your vlogs by your partner have been excellent, she understands what is needed and what we, the public want. I too have been a bike journalist in the past, but only on off-road for print media, and I thought I knew how much effort goes into producing the finished product, but to do it on video is another level so all credit to those who undertake the task. It is much appreciated and I/we look forward to more productions. Those who race on the roads at all levels are talented men and women and we wish all of you well.

Thanks for all the behind the scenes footage from the TT, gutted for you re the eye problem but remember there is always next year. Well done to Christie for all the work behind the scenes and for the real star of the show Jessie who has shown real potential on his bike 👍

Thanks Christie and Lee for a great series of vlogs. Really enjoyable. Sorry for you with the eyes but you really did a fantastic job. Hope you get sorted and get back riding. Thanks again. Good luck. The shot of you and Dean hunkered down is really nice, maybe its on the first vlog. Two guys in a space only they understand. Great stuff.

Nice work Lee & Christie, I enjoy your videos very much! They are very honest and your family unit is awesome. Please keep them coming.

I had the same/similar issue a few years back when I was over, stinging eyes out of nowhere and only seems to affect me on the Island. BTW - loved you on the commentary on the Senior, fantastic insight and humour.

Oh ! dear Hayfever. It struck me for the first time when I was 68 Eyes flooding and unable to see in daylight. Saw GP and two eye specialists and they could find nothing wrong a few half blind weks later a friend complained his eyes were sore because he had not taken his hayfever tablet. i went to a supermarket and bought some "one a day" medicine and within two days I was able to see properly again. Hayfever is not to be taken lightly and you need the right medication to match your allergic reaction . Great result on the Twin. Best wishes for the future.

Hands down the best video series I've watched about bike racing. Honest, straightforward and brilliantly funny as well. Thank you Lee and Christy, more please.

Thanks for the vlogs, as always fab behind the scenes that us mere mortals can only imagine normally. Absolutely the right call to pull the plug when you did, safety first every time & excellent backing by the crew, fantastic team you have. Onward & upward now, plenty of TTs left in you. Thanks Christie for all the work you put in too.

Best commentary of the week.

What a vlog, what a team, what a family….just thank you absolutely amazing

Well done Lee, there’s always next year. You were brilliant in commentary, a natural. A podium with bad eyes is nothing to snivel at. Well done 👍

Wonderful series. Can't thank you and Christie enough. The TT is such an amazing event and race, and to be able to see what it's truly like for you (and probably the majority of the racers/families/techs/etc) is a real gift. Your level of racing talent and courage is perfectly balanced by your candor, sense of humor, and humility. All the best to you and your family!

Thanks to you Lee and all your team. So much enjoyed all content. Can’t wait for the next video. Good luck for the rest of the year. 👍🏍

I know you were gutted having to withdraw but believe me you were brilliant on the radio, I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to you and Christie and of course Jessie !

It takes balls to take the start line but bigger ones to admit you're struggling and pull in like you did. Hope your eyes get better and best wishes to you and the family. Love the vlog 🙂

Well done Lee for your Supertwin podium and your other results. I know you were a bit down that you couldn't race the Senior and had trouble with your eyes, but there is always next year. You have done your sponsors, team and fans proud. Well done also to Christie for her amazing filming and editing of these vlogs, they are among the very best TT vlogs on KZfaq. I think she deserves a rise to what you pay her for making you look so good :P. Hope you get your eyes sorted soon and we see you on track again soon. :)

Takes a lot of presence of mind and steel to know when its time to call it, above all else that shows a strength of character beyond ego.

Thanks Lee and Christie really loved your IOM Vlog, I found myself with a big smile on my face watching them, I felt like I was there, sorry you had problems with your eyes hope all is well soon

Myself and the gf sat and binged all of the episodes tonight as she hadn't seen the first one. I honestly can't put into words how much we both enjoyed them, it really shows how much of a human side to this there is, especially when you see all the priceless moments with family, the banter with other riders etc. These have been fantastic to watch, I was gutted you weren't at Knocky but health is the most important thing. Massive kudos to Christie for the awesome editing and putting this together for all of us to watch. Much love to you all!

Well done Lee and Christie. Thank you for bringing these vlogs to the USA. With the first time live coverage here in America and the vlogs you and other folks are putting out,this will definitely put the Isle of Man TT on the map. Being a long time motorcycle rider and enthusiast I was introduced to the TT by a good friend in 2010. I was hooked immediately and now it's on the bucket list to hopefully make it there in the very near future. I hope you can get your issues with your eyes corrected and make a speedy and complete recovery from them. Looking forward to seeing you back out on the track. Thanks again for the vlogs. Mad Respect and Stay Safe!

So happy to be taken along on this grand adventure ! Thank you Christie, Lee and star-of-the-show... Jesse !!!

Fair play Lee for your whole TT. Some smart wise hard decisions you had to make... was over there until the Thursday. Loved listening to you on the radio for the senior also.. Found it amazing how nervous you were looking at it. Goes to show how hard it must be for your partner and family/team during it all.. So much commitment by ALL goes into a road racing team.. Love from 🇮🇪👍

Bit late Lee catching up on all this content but just to say this was genuinely brilliant stuff. I've said for years that no-one shows the backroom side of the TT, the everyday stuff, the mechanics's side the family angle, the crushing lows. All we get is the public face of the racer, PR friendly stuff. This was genuinely good documentary film making and you and your wife should be well chuffed with the result. You've both got a proper talent for this. The racing might not have ended up how you will have wanted it to but you got home safe and there's always next year, that's the TT, if it always went to plan it would be easy. Good luck for the rest of the year, fingers crossed you get to the bottom of the allergy, and thanks for letting us into your world, warts and all.

Simply incredible. Thank you and your better half for all the amazing content. You have a great team. Good luck with the rest of the season and God bless.

Commentary debut alongside Steve Day aint half a bad gig! Thrown in the deep end. Thanks for sharing the vlogs and giving us this type of access! 💪🏽👌🏽

Lee, you made the right call, you cant mix poor vision and the IOM TT don't go hand in hand. You will be back to get it sorted health sorted and lovely to see behind the scene in the paddock and your team is so close knit.

Massive respect to Lee and all the riders, really enjoyed the TT vlogs, well done all..👏🏻

Lee you and Christie have played an absolute blinder with the superstar that is Jessie who has made green cool again. Shame about the super sport and the senior but the commentary stint was top class. Get well soon. 👍

Can only echo what's written below really, fantastic content from Christie and yourself. We all really appreciate you letting us 'ordinary folk' have a look at elite level motorcycle riding form the inside.

Brilliant video as always! Love the honestly and open approach you take to share what it’s really like to be a racer. Hope the eyes are better and we get to see you at Brands, missed you at Knockhill.

Thanks Lee. Great to see the TT from the inside.... hope the eyes get better soon.

The highs and lows of racing,brilliantly put together,you race as a team and lose as a team,total respect,look forward to cheering you on in 23 from our post at quarry bends,T minus 336 days and counting, ps.saw Graham and Neil walking up the street to Parliament square one evening,was going to mention the broken crack,but thought better of it,keep the vlogs coming,great entertainment 👍

Great vlog again Lee, you never stop, was gutted not to see you at Knockhill but your health comes first, hope your on the mend 👍🏻

A bit of a rollercoaster of a TT for you Lee, i feel your pain as i also suffer from allergies every summer its a complete bollocks, really did enjoy hearing you doing the commentary

Love watching your vlogs! It’s been a great insight to the behind the scenes! Unlucky with the eyes but your health comes first! Can’t wait to be cheering you on at the Isle of Man again in 2023! Well done!!!

Thank you very much for this series of vlogs! Really refreshing to see it as it happened and the honesty shown, your thoughts, feelings and just picking up the tension etc of yourselves and the team and others on video. Thank you 😎

Please don’t stop making these vlogs they are brilliant mate great to see behind the scenes especially the TT.

These vlogs are so good, great work from you and your good lady, great raw behind the scenes footage that you don't get to see. It certainly isn't all glitz and glamour. The hard graft that you ,your family and team have to put in is evident. Hope you get to the bottom of your eye issue and come back stronger. Thanks again.

Please do this again next TT Lee. Really enjoying your videos. Keep going 👍

Brilliant personal TT vlog. Great job Christy and Lee. Highs and lows and a great perspective to the whole TT. A privilege to watch.

Another fantastic video sharing the ups and downs of racing. Everyone who rides the TT is a hero in my view and seeing it from the riders perspective has been amazing. So pleased for you for your podium, well deserved. I was made up for you when I watched it live and seeing this brought it all back. Top rider with a top team and an adopted Yorkshire man.

Amazing blog Lee thanks so much for the effort that’s gone into them. Hoping to get over to the TT for the first time next year

What a Brilliant Vlog Starring the whole team with a special mention to Christie for putting it all together whilst feeling poopy,goes to show how tight knit your racing family are.How many viewers wanted to give Lee a hug after pulling out of the race.

What a great family Lee has behind him including his team and sponsors.

Some awesome coverage of the tt with some ups and downs , thanks heaps for sharing it all here. Cheers

Thanks for these TT vids, really enjoyed them. Good of you to share both the highs and the low points. I’m struck by two things though. You really have a great team around you, banter aside they really care for you as well as look after you and the bikes. Also it’s great to see the friendship between you and all the other riders. We never really get to see that on normal coverage and it’s lovely to see. Thanks again and big thanks to Christie for all the work on the vids.

Absolute legend. What a bloody amazing team of people you have around you 💪

Mate these have been incredible a real insite to behind the scenes of the TT congratulations on the podium and you did the right thing pulling in and the commetery was awesome to listen to 👍

Well done Lee. You had a great week IMO and I hope the eyes heal up soon. Take it easy

Thanks for sharing your experiences at the TT. It’s on my bucket list. Actually been to the circuit when I was very young and my Dad used to race karts around part of the circuit but looking forward to attending a TT. Really enjoying the vlogs. Miss home (Norn Ireland) as I’m stuck in Canada so enjoy the craic and getting an insight into real life. Hope you get back to full health soon and keep doing what you’re doing - great stuff 👍

Legend. Please keep up the vlogs, love every second

Anazing series of vlogs. Stories well told. Fabulous filming and editing. Thank you very much.

Thanks for this TT series, really insightful and a "warts and all" film from a close knit family and racing team, Really good viewing

Fantastic vlog Lee and to Christie. What a roll coaster of a ride. It was great watching a being with you on your journey. 👍🏼🙏🏼💚

Fantastic job. A real behind the scenes mini documentary. Watched all your vlogs Lee from when you first started. Thanks.

Lee, Christie fantastic on every count, such respect for the pair of you and the team around you Lee. I've been following your vlogs for ages now and believe they're the most honest and informative I've ever seen, respect and best wishes for your futures. You won't go wrong with the minature schnauzers either 😉

Great vlog as always, hope you're paying Christy well for the camerawork and editing 😊 You've got a great team around you. Hope you get your eyes sorted and are back for the next BSB. Still laughing at the tarmac gag.

Lee, all I can say is a massive thank you, to you and the rest of the crew! I was supposed to be there but health issues intervened! However, I intend to see you on the podium next year! God Bless and keep you safe, for the little ones!

that was great Lee, the last time I was at the TT was in 1968 watching Ago on the MV, read and Ivy on the 250 Yamaha 4s, you made me feel i was back there. God Bless you and your family, thanks

Fantastic coverage, thanks to all involved!

You made the right call and no matter how gutted you felt, you know that. You have a great team behind you and there will be other opportunities in the future. Thanks to you and Christie for giving us an honest insight. Didn't get to meet you but was behind you 100%

Another awesome video Lee and Christie. Certainly was emotional. You’re a credit to the sport and wish you better luck for next year. All the very best to you both and little un.

I could watch this 24 hours a day, see you next year Lee thanks for letting us see the real action 🙏

Another fantastic video ! Superb insight - inspirational stuff and amazing attitude to rider safety and well-being too. There’s only one person on these bikes hurtling towards corners at 180mph - to come away with a podium is immense despite the challenges - look forward to the next vids and hope things are on the way to recovery !

Absolutely brilliant vlog, thank you so much for doing them.

I'll be there to watch you ride next year! Well done for making the right decision.

Yess..been waiting patiently for this 😊

The best & probably the only TT VLOG out there at the moment. Thanks Lee, Christie , & team for letting us in to your life for TT. Following it all from Galway. 🔴⚪️

I have the highest respect and admiration you you Lee and your fellow racers. I wish you and your family all the best. ❤👍💪

Great vid today. Loved watching the TT with u guys. Bad luck on the last race. Keep it up. Love all of the family!!!!

Thank you Lee , thank you to a great team. Thank you for a great family. You’ll be back even better.

Family through & through is what I get from your vlogs Lee & Christie & Jesse. Really stressful in realtime but you'll make sense of it & figure it out. We go again .

Great inside view on the TT, thanks for sharing. Don’t beat yourself up about pulling in, live to fight another day is the most important thing for you, your family and the team.

Hope the eyes are better soon. Another great vlog thanks Christie and Lee.

Awesome vlog as ever, so down to earth and real. The whole team seem such a family unit and so glad they look out for you Lee and great editing Christie 👍 . We were at Ramsey listening to your commentary on the senior which was also superb. All the very best for future races 🏍💨❤️

You did well through your whole time there Lee and Christie aswell with the vlog along with everyone of you coming home safe, enjoy every second of it seeing behind the scenes, hopefully I get to meet you at the last round of bsb in brands good luck for the rest of the season, hopefully see you in the tt next year aswell

Lee is an awesome rider and human being…. Good luck Lee and god bless dude ..regards Alli South Africa

Well done Lee and Christie, really enjoyed watching these vlogs very informative. Hope the eyes are better real soon and look forward to seeing you at the front of BSB Supersport.

Excellent lee great coverage on the TT hope all goes well with your medication for your eyes.

We feel bad for you missing out on some of the riding; I listened to you on the air for the whole race….great job commentating the race. Say thanks to your wife for the super job in bringing us the great shots and all. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. So look forward to the next vlog.

Top vlogs from TT this last fortnight Lee, sad it ended like it did for you. Hope the eyes sorted soon. Roll on 2023. Top step

M8. I was gutted for you at the time and even more now. The hug from the radio man after the interview was epic. Next year mate, next year. Your vlogs are the best!

absolutely brilliant vlog on the TT. Great to see behind all the scenes and get a small idea of what it must be like.

Thank you for sharing the experience with us, very much appreciated. Amazing set of video's, really enjoyable to watch !

Excellent vlog again, thank you for sharing those difficult moments. As hard as it was to watch, it is a fascinating insight for us. We go again mate, on to the next...

well done Lee...and fair play to you for pulling in when you did.....

Your vlogs are always great Lee but these TT ones are a different level. So made up for you that you got on the box. You will be back and you will get the top step again.

I can understand the frustration of having to come in due to whatever reason, but more respect for just using your sense and coming in.

Well done Lee, takes a big man to do what you did pal, congrats on the podium too! Top videos keep em coming lad

Loved the vlog Lee you are a true legend. I hope you can get your eyes sorted soon and we can see you at Brands. Big respect to you and all the team.

Steven Day make racing so much more exciting. Great vlog.

Great job Lee very smart to pull in whenever you can't see you are going so fast their is no need of being a fool you have a son to take care of ....God bless ride fast take care next year buddy
