Grew up watching Surtees Hailwood, Read Sheene Joey and so many more and just like them John is a legend. And all of our motorcycle racing legends have always been approachable as well. If life is fair I will be long gone and John will still be meeting and greeting his fans. Another great interview.
It’s great to hear you being so positive,a new season is just around the corner stay safe and enjoy the job .Dont listen too people banging on about retirement you will know when it’s time but until then stay safe
I think he does, absolutely. However he is still down to earth and is very relatable. He is one of those guys who is very talented but can communicate well with regular folk. He tells us about situations we can relate but not really stuff that we can’t. He is a genuine guy, he is himself with everyone
Lay in sunshine on top of crash bales at windy corner in 2010 manx on my zx12 kwak a guy bins his ducati i ran to help bike smashed he's ok 3 enduro bikes raced across fields to us to offer help it was john mcguinness and mates thanks dude LEGEND a very rare breed
A nice man and a great road racer years back. Enough with the exhibition laps now though every year at the TT. Watching him go backwards is just destroying a great legacy. And your right, even now I couldn't get anywhere near him and never could have.
@@movem1 Aparently you put your weight in and dash tells you the suspension settings, but you have to manually configure them, its not done automatically, i'm no honda man but i'm seriously impressed with the looks and technology on it,.

His past accomplishments give him the right to go as long as he wants. If you question that you don’t understand how great he is. Not was or has been, is.
You and your mates can fettle a bike and then do 11 tenths - nothing to prove! Stay healthy and alive mate! John, I listen to this interview - and you keep talking about doom and potential doom - just do the family thing John! (I've been watching F1 videos from the 1970's - is current bike racing similar?)
Interesting interview,I think John has talked him self out of racing at the very top level now , but can’t give it up entirely even at the age of 52 its been his life for so many years, its like a drug, perhaps he thinks more about hurting himself as the law of averages of keeping injury free are diminishing Regarding Tommy he’s very diplomatic knowing that Honda will take time to sort out at race meetings given the time restrictions and all the other teams are up to speed already from last year
I met JM at the 2023 nec show, chatted briefly and had the compulsory photograph brilliant moment, never heard a bad word against him, i'll be happy if and when he retires safely,....

The man the myth the legend.
This Man is just amazing. Salute JOHN. Huge respect!!
Quality.dont think john realises how big a bike star he is.
He does deep down ;)
Met him few times.
Quality bloke

Oh he knows! Why would he need to shout about it. Results speak plenty.
Possibly only Chuck Norris or Superman can catch up with this gentleman.
That's pretty true!
Doubt it.. 🤣
Michael Dunlop is giving it a good try 😉
Both actors! Non of that with John... big balls!
Dunlop has already taken the crown off this gentleman

What a lovely genuine man, see you at Darley Moor !!
How could you ride like John in this day and age of two wheeled missiles and be so mellow? A legend for sure!!.
i think johns going to call it a day at the end of this season. nothing more to prove. legend
What a legend!
Good luck John, be careful out there lad 🤞❤️

Nice advert. All the best for the future 🙏

Most Only dream of this man's archivements 🏆💪🔥
Hey remember when you guys did that piece on motorcycle leathers? Yeah, more of that please.
Was wondering who was interviewing John, recognised the voice... fair play to your weight loss.
Agreed, very impressive! Good job Michael!
Thank you, appreciate the kind words. Still a little bit to go yet, but we're getting there
Appreciate it!
Legend,,,,,,,,,,, enough said

Interviewer looking trim, go on lad 👍
So you can enter your weight on a stock blade? Or is that John's track bike only?
yes on the stock 1000RR-R SP

Hope ur ok brother ❤
Uncanny how much John looks like Hugh Bonneville here 😂.
Who knew they had sea lions at Kruger park.
I wonder if John McGuiness, so down to earth.... will ever realise as to why Crown Prince to Joe Bloggs see him as icon of motorsport.
Get hydrated John 😂

John McGuiness is the man, Chuck Norris looks for under his bed when he is going to sleep.
Laid back as ever. Still engrossed in the sport. And Honda can only benefit from his presence. Wish him the best for this year's racing.
Who fell off?
He's a legend, but crap interview...
U lost alot of weight mike weldone
