Lee Johnston has provided a positive update to fans following his crash at last month's North West 200.
Johnston suffered multiple injuries after an incident at the Church Corner section of the course during a Supersport practice session.
He also received a blood transfusion on a golf course beside the North West 200 circuit before being taken to hospital where he continued his recovery.

The 33-year-old's family later revealed Johnston was facing a "slow road to recovery" after sustaining injuries including a broken femur, broken shoulder, a break in the foot and face, a number of broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
But after returning home from hospital, Johnston has posted a video on his Instagram page where he details his injuries and recovery.
The Fermanagh rider said: "Hi guys. Sorry I have been a bit quiet on social media lately. At the start I wasn't fit to do anything, and now I haven't really been in a great mindset to do stuff.
"But I do really, really appreciate all the messages and kind things people have said to me. I have read over them all.
"I am currently just at home now. I got out of hospital.
"I think in the end I broke my foot, femur, shoulder, ribs, wrist, and had collapsed lungs. We were in a bit of a bad shape but obviously thanks to the amazing medical team I will hopefully make a full recovery."
Johnston says he has onboard video of the crash which he hopes to share with fans in the coming weeks. He says his wife Christie will edit the footage before releasing it on his social media channels.
He added: "We have got some Vlog footage from the North West 200. We've actually even got the footage of the crash and stuff because I had a camera on the bike.
"Christie is going to get that edited up first of all, the first part of the North West. And then we will try and explain what happened in the crash. And all the stuff that has happened to me since then, and how hard it has been.
"To give you guys a genuine insight. I don't want it to be depressing, but I think it gives you a genuine insight into what has happened.
"So stay tuned. And I will be back."
