I dont write much in the comments. But damn... Lee , has a retired/disabled ( amateur Belgium supermoto / classic superbike ) racer. You have given me since a long time, the excitement / my mechanic interest & most importantly the family feeling from being on the roadraces , straight into my living room. It maked me happy & emotional watching the interactions ! Thank you for all you do & taking us along 🫶🏻 my best regards to you , your family & race family.

First time at the wonderful island this year, I am 63 and this has been the experience of my life. Wonderful place to be, invited in by the mechanics at the paddock to take pics. Wonderful ❤

WOW, that talk around the Norton and demo of the engine was the best anyone has got. The other bike overviews were great too. Well done and thanks to the teams for letting you in and showin us all. Love these vids.

Lee , your exuberance, for those exotic racing machines, is fantastic to watch. How fantastic is it to see these engineers, building and maintaining these beautiful machines, with the aim of going faster and faster. Nothing like it in the world. So removed from all the silly carp in the rest of the world.
More of this please.

Loved this episode Lee. People who own these bikes are passionate people!!

@MartinWilcock-l4s 4 weeks ago

What a great video Lee.
A bit like old rock stars, when these passionate owners are gone we lose so much. It’s people like yourself and Whit, maybe McG and Hicky (or his dad) at some point who can keep these stories alive.
I’m still smiling……
Many thanks
