He is a national treasure to us bikers over here in the UK. If you are a non biker though you'll find most Brits don't know who he is! Bike racing is one of those sports here that isn't followed as much as others. You must have global champions from the US that people in the UK know better than someone in the US I'm guessing?
Absolute legend!!! Had the joy of sharing a garage with him for Bennets day last year, really nice guy, legend!! Came past me on a classic Ducati like I was standing still!!
Thank you John for giving me so much pleasure watching you race at TT, I have been going every year for last 20 years, usually watch from Braddan Bridge and love to see your line through there, stay safe and good luck. 👍🇬🇧
You think that is appropriate do you? Care to explain it to his daughter seeing you think its no big deal. He is a immature disrespectful twat. Your idea of a real man and mine are very different and as for legend, your a long way behind.
@@bluespig1 For God sake have a laugh,get a sence of humour, getting your knickers in a twist over nothing, John is a great husband and father, his two little girls are so.lucky to have a jolly dad. I was such a child , my dad and self were like two peas in a pod, a wonderful father is a blessing.
Brilliant video guys. So natural on camera John and such a nice guy as well as a great rider! Thanks for taking the time to put this on John and Bennett’s guys 🙂 and 👍 to some good questions.
From first question had me laughing......the bike felt like being on top of my wife!!!hahhahahaha.....luv this guy....as only the king of the mountain could describe!!
Great question about the tank slapper! I had one a few years ago at about 60 mph when I hammered my throttle going down a hill and hit a bump. Nearly lost all my piss. Can't imagine it at 180.
Hi John, it’s a brick hodder to give it’s official title or a brick hod 😉 Builders daughter, mi dad would be proud I remembered that god rest his soul. He taught me to pebble dash in the summer holidays when I was 8, it’ll be fun he said.........🤣👍🏻
We watched the super bike race there in 2006 I think. Thw year guy was.leading from #1 and steve plater had a huge tank slapper there on every single lap it was horrendous.
Had a “tank slapper” which broke the steering lock - my brothers elderly FZR600, full throttle at about 70mph accelerating on a bumpy lane near Kenilworth. Frightening! I can’t imagine one at TT speeds ......
It's a brick hod for carrying bricks. Nice chair. Nice SP1000 too. Met him at the Northwest 200 a few years back... He had a broken finger taped up on his right hand but used it anyway to shake mine. Legend.!!
I do believe my missus sold you those John! She wanted me to ask if you’ve done anything with your other purchase? All the best from Michaela and I. Stay safe!
And everyone was told - no Norton questions! Do not mention the name Stuart Garner! I actually think John's the type of guy to punch Stuart on the nose and make his eyes water...
im not shore on the name but that's for holding bricks when climbing up ladders, plus i've got my signed helmet from the TT with McGuiness signature it sits in my living room
Its a hod for carrying bricks. Where's my prize? lol. Keep safe everyone. Hopefully be out on the bikes soon. Aragon WSB confirmed for August. Great news. I'll be there!!
Broke down at the manxgp a few years ago on my 125cc honda John stopped his van and give me a lift back to the pits thankyou John.
Really? Lucky, you can now say to people to had a nice ride in the car sitting next to John McGuinness.
Had a chance to meet John at the 2019 TT. 35 year dream come true, down to earth bloke!
Humble man, incredible skill set and loads of experience. Thanks to Bennetts and John McGuinness for the awesome video. Cheers from the U.S.

What a treat. A legend is in my living room.
You gotta love him. "Riding the bike was just like being on top of my wife".........

Thanks for the post John & Bennetts Rewards. Much appreciated, especially as I'm wearing out the road racing dvd's.
Great video and a big thank you to John
Mc Pint! Great rider saw him in the 2019 Manx Gp with Paton. 2021 will be a great year. Looking forward. Cheers!!

Would love to see John on Joe Rogan's podcast. Would be a good way to promote the tt. Plus the stories this man could tell.
Joe hates bikes
@@Max-vq9xd joe likes bikes hes afraid of them tho.
Mark 1000 he’s never said he likes bikes
Read John's book. It's really good.
Agreed - but there would need to be subtitles; especially after JR breaks out the Jameson's
We watched the super bike race there in 2006 I think. Thw year guy was.leading from #1 and steve plater had a huge tank slapper there on every single lap it was horrendous.
Spot on !! .👍
Cheers John. Hope to see you at goodwood again soon.stay Shiny side up!

Thats the worlds cleanest hodd.
Enjoyed watching this,Thanks John.
What a top bloke . Interesting answers 👍
One dislike must have been from his mrs because of the ontop of the wife comment haha
Show some respect to women.
Spent a few years on the Hod myself, rather spend a few more years on my Blade though lol
Thanks for signing my hoodie at the bike show this year
John you are the tt to me sad not to see ride this year perhaps this time it might rain all June best wishes for the future..steve...
Who would give this guy a thumbs down?? Smh
John is a top bloke.
It's a brick hod for carrying bricks. Nice chair. Nice SP1000 too. Met him at the Northwest 200 a few years back... He had a broken finger taped up on his right hand but used it anyway to shake mine. Legend.!!
It's a brick - carrying hod. JM you're an absolute legend mate. Stay Well. 👍

0 dislikes on the video, john is a legend
Fantastic rider!
By far my most favourite bike was a Honda SP1 bought it new from Drayton Croft 2000
a hod.. did some hod carrying myself back in the day. 12 bricks, or slop of muck.
True legend
I do believe my missus sold you those John! She wanted me to ask if you’ve done anything with your other purchase? All the best from Michaela and I. Stay safe!
Fantastic
By far my most favourite bike was a Honda SP1
One of them, is a hod, carried them A HELL OF A LOT in the sixties, not now since ELF and SAFETY kicked in,
When he pulled that hod out that cracked me up! King of the mountain and still a bricky at heart 🤘🏻
top man
Great video fantastic rider 🇬🇧👍🏻
It’s a Hod carrier for carrying supplies and pies to bricklayers
And everyone was told - no Norton questions! Do not mention the name Stuart Garner!
I actually think John's the type of guy to punch Stuart on the nose and make his eyes water...
I wish John could have given his take on it all. It's a very weird outcome to what looked initially like an amazing success story for Norton.
im not shore on the name but that's for holding bricks when climbing up ladders, plus i've got my signed helmet from the TT with McGuiness signature it sits in my living room
Some people use them for carrying bricks but John has an assistant who uses it to carry his king Kong balls! 💪
That's a thing for hauling bricks. I'm an electrician so thankfully never had the pleasure. 🍻
Great q&a with the big man - flyweight Hod (12 in Hod 1 in the back pocket 😬)
Best quotes ever "A bit like Triggers broom and a bit like my Wife underneath me"
John it’s a Hod. Carrying bricks up top😃💪💪
michael rutter reckons JM has never laid a brick in his life !...lol.
A up John ! TT everyday during lock down lol
It's a hod for bricks John! ✊🏻
Pretty bad ass to hear about my heroes talking about their heroes…
Its a hod for carrying bricks. Where's my prize? lol. Keep safe everyone. Hopefully be out on the bikes soon. Aragon WSB confirmed for August. Great news. I'll be there!!
re 17:40, I guess I'd ask, John do you try and drive the tractor as fast as it will go ?
Good luck to John this weekend 2023 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🤟🤟
