I was there in the paddock in 2019 .. sorry for bothering you John but i had to have a photo with you...and thanks for letting me have it .. great dude..
not just racers... i cant help but imagine going for a bike ride up the backside of the Sandia's, or up Hwy 1 along Cali's coastline. That guy can handle a bike like few others can.
Joey Dunlop was and is one of my all time hero’s. It was meant as up there as one of the all time greats. Don’t get me wrong McPint is an amazing rider aswell as a class gent, but there is only one Joey
@@scootjockey Do you always try to see the world the worst way around? I bet you, that's not the J McPint way... He knows what he accomplished, he cherishes his friends, had or lost - and he realises that the future is in his own hands. On my own account; may the Gods of the mountain always hold their hands over this magician.
It’s an honour to watch John race. In the sports world these men are so underrated. Hope I see more years of John on the Island. All the best to John and family.👑
That's England, a place of simple people who just do what they likes to do just for their personal satisfaction, no second aims, no glory.... Just self satisfaction and passion. I love him, he is john he is nothing more than the man he's always been.
@BOXING STONER sorry man, i didn't knew it is independent but under the responsibility of UK. The matter remains the same, nice passionate people.... 😉
@BOXING STONER Alex Cas never implied that the Isle of Man was part of England he was talking about John McGuiness being English, Relationship with the United Kingdom The Isle of Man is an internally self-governing dependency of the British Crown and its people are British citizens. The Crown has ultimate responsibility for the good government of the Island and acts on the advice of Ministers of the UK Government, in their capacity as Privy Councillors.
I've loved the TT since I first saw it on telly as a kid in the late 70's. Never had the chance to go. We nearly had one here in Oz, but the nanny police canbed it. Maybe one day.
John is worth more alive, a true legend, so good at explaining the TT course and racing in general. Could listen him all day but please give up while your ahead there’s nothing more to prove
Mr.McGuinness will always be the greatest racer on a road course of all time.I am glad he is retiring because he has beat the odds for to long.You can be the best in the world but you have no control of a stray dog walking across the track or a chain breaking and locking up or absolutely anything that is beyond your control.It would kill me if something happened to him.Their is a difference in quitting and retiring.Live a long life Mr.McGuinness you deserve it for all the people who you have made so happy rooting for you that you have never let them down,including me.You have absolutely nothing to prove to anyone,you are truly the best their ever was 🤴🏻🏍
The bar has been set so high at the TT now especially by Hickman and Harrison. Often in sport those who try to recapture previous form and glory often pay a heavy price. Just stay safe McPint you've nothing more to prove. Best of luck ☘
John has always been a man I look up to.He is so humble,family loving, and skilled..no matter what else he does,he will always be the best road racer in the world too me...LLTK
The real deal , that’s our John ,nothing to prove to no one, not many heroes left these days, role on TT 2020 takes along time to come back from big accidents, the big man will be on it . Don’t care where he places as long as he’s safe. TOP BLOKE
my uncle, lee pullan took john on his first run of the TT but sadly lost his life in 1996, i’m waiting for a mention of it but i think it’ll be a while
A wonderful man as well as an incredible racer. It's becoming difficult to watch him, (and Bruce) these days - to win they'd have to hope that Hicky, Harrison, Dunlop, Hillier and Johnson and others are all off from or have mechanicals. It's up to him, but he deserves a long happy retirement with Becky. He's a Legend.
I agree hes a top man and one awesome TT specialist I'd love to see him this year too and Kwaka but I just hope he rides 90% and if hes on the podium awesome! Just dont want him to bin it, there a some fast young guns again this year ...
John you are the man round the tt no question such a nice bloke and good luck for the next tt am sure you will nail it just be safe eh your the kiddie absolutely brilliant on a bike mmmmint
Give up John, help some young guns, you know you can. It can't last long, they will let you do a lap every year, build and ride one of your winning bikes for ever
I lost the ability to walk in 05, I was told I'd probably never walk again let alone ride, my wife(Super nurse) had me walking in 5 months, riding again in 2 yrs, just the thought of not riding let alone competing killed me inside, I can only imagine what a guy with this level of talent felt, he has nothing to prove to anyone, it's just that little voice in his head that only he can hear, & it gets louder & louder. He'll be back competing for the top spot, he doesn't know anything else.
Point 1: If you put subtitles, at min. 2:15 the subtitling understands the engine revving as applauds. Coincidence? Of course not. Point 2: Seeing John wearing the original Alpinestars GP Pro gloves that were discontinued many years ago is testament to how epic those gloves were. Grab a pair if you find any new that isn't a fake copy.
I have great respect for him as a man and as a TT legend but I want him to be a living legend and think he should retire as opposed to being eventually another victim of the mountain. His poor wife must be so stressed by his obsession to continue especially after that last crash. Been with him for so many years, she deserves better in my opinion 🤔 !
In another sense I’m sure she wouldn’t have him any other way.. that’s what makes the man John mcguiness that’s his drive & passion and she knows it like you say been with him long enough
The Wippit You make a valid point but I’m sure that the thought that his obsession might eventually kill him must be in her mind. Quite clearly,from this years TT his sharpness has diminished even though the Norton was unreliable and he got a podium in the electric bike race. As l said l just want him to be a living legend and not another Joey Dunlop. Just my opinion as a fellow human being 🙂!
Peter Charles - aw I certainly agree with you I want him alive too.. I think he’s sharp enough with the right bike for one more win he should of ridden Michaels bike & left the norton alone plus I’ve yet to meet the man & my Boss sponsors him 🤣 hopefully will soon enough tho
Hopefully he can get some good results with Quattro Plant in 2020, the Norton looked and sounded brilliant but it's just not up there with the best bikes.
And now you can retire at your own terms john.enjoy it with your family your legacy.number one TT retired not on the way you want i think.you dont have too win any more.youve won enough.but its your own call for sure.but its Nice too see a legend still standing.
I highly respect the dude but I think he should cash out why hes a living legend rather than a dead one because the life expectancy of these racers are 5-10yrs max. We have seen what has happened to the dunlops. My favorite rider Cam Donald retired and it sucks I dont get to watch him race anymore but dude cashed out and I dont blame him and a friend of his Simon Andrew's kept going now hes dead. But I understand where john is coming from because once you put it down that's it there's no going back and if you do go back your either not going to be competitive or make a mistake. It's a tough call but if I were in his shoes I'd retire at the top.
He is a legend and nothing left to prove.....I've got a horrible feeling this is going to bite him on the arse. ..don't do it john ,take a nice cushy job commentating on wsb or something ....
I was there in the paddock in 2019 .. sorry for bothering you John but i had to have a photo with you...and thanks for letting me have it .. great dude..
One of the Best Racers of all Time.
not just racers... i cant help but imagine going for a bike ride up the backside of the Sandia's, or up Hwy 1 along Cali's coastline. That guy can handle a bike like few others can.
Nr 1
@@FMC100 in the TT, right now, for sure, the Old Star.
He’s right there with Joey, former teammates even. TT icons, along with Hailwood, Ago, Surtees and Duke.
Long live the Kings of the mountain
I think that,s the wrong thing to say "right there with Joey" !! that my friend is where he does not want to be.
Joey Dunlop was and is one of my all time hero’s. It was meant as up there as one of the all time greats. Don’t get me wrong McPint is an amazing rider aswell as a class gent, but there is only one Joey
I had the opportunity to ride the bike that GD did the 100mph lap on, I wouldn't have tried it on that.

The most underrated sportsman of today. Great person for starters... 100% legendary
no matter what you are always a champion for me Sir John.

@@alec-s Most of the contestants that take part in that great race meeting are English
He is a legend as well as a bloody nice bloke......good luck john...
Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly
this man is one of a living legend to the greatest motor sport race ever

What a legend and a thorough gentleman
I could not agree with you more!
Surviving the TT 23 times is a miracle, let alone winning it!
Subbed, John is a legend among the finest in motorcycle racing. A true gladiator, with balls heavier than a dump truck
A true legend.. just don’t overdo it John...

I like him very much, love the way he talking about it,so much passion 👍
that church in the background at sulby straight is brilliant they do a great barbecue and you can ride down to it from the bungalow
Absolute Legend. I really hope he does get to retire on his own terms.
Like most Fans of the TT John is an absolute legend to me and I love watching and listening to him, he is truly a remarkable man. Aloha from Hawaii
On the right bike firing perfectly John could win any time he's just the goat in any ones book. 🐐👏👏👏👏👏
The old man of the TT. Much admiration.
John has always been a man I look up to.He is so humble,family loving, and skilled..no matter what else he does,he will always be the best road racer in the world too me...LLTK
Well folks, its 2020 & johns riding for Muckoff Kawasaki this year. Awesome stuff.

Awesome bloke, Take care John. Thank you mate.
Thanks for the Inspiration John!
He’s back on the fireblade this year. Hopefully he’ll have a good safe race👍

Great bloke! Respect! Greetz from Holland
A true master at his craft
Mad Love and respect from Canada 🇨🇦. John you’re a legend!
Just seeing a Norton once again on the starting grid at the TT gave me goosebumps.
He puts it across well, can hear his passion for it.
John McGuinness is what this sentence was made for ( A true legend, in his own lifetime ). There are many racers but only ONE John 💪💪🇬🇧👍
Glad you did 139mph first ,and TT would not be the same with out you in it , but stay safe❤️🦂
He is the best rider among all riders in the world rossi and marquez included
Somnath Chaven. Very true my friend 👍
Love the TT and all the people that race it.

As his fan, I still want to see him in race, but really want him to be safe and healthy, don’t really want to see him get hurt again.
All hail the king of the mountain 🙏

Esse cara é simplesmente o melhor
Pack in now John.
Move to the IOM and help to run the show 🙏
Point 1: If you put subtitles, at min. 2:15 the subtitling understands the engine revving as applauds. Coincidence? Of course not.

Legendary JM...pls retire. Somehow it must come to an end. No one wants to lose you...its too risky as you aged...
Sacré mec !
GOAT!!
Very good!
I have great respect for him as a man and as a TT legend but I want him to be a living legend and think he should retire as opposed to being eventually another victim of the mountain.

if ever you're going to be a normal spectator in the hedge somewhere, just let me know. i'll bring the beer.
Legend
Hopefully he can get some good results with Quattro Plant in 2020, the Norton looked and sounded brilliant but it's just not up there with the best bikes.
And now you can retire at your own terms john.enjoy it with your family your legacy.number one TT retired not on the way you want i think.you dont have too win any more.youve won enough.but its your own call for sure.but its Nice too see a legend still standing.

Youknow McGuinness? This youknow that youknow, here youknow there youknow. Back youknow. Good luck, Man man!
music?

RIDE TO LIVE LIVE TO RIDE JOHN McGUINNESS ..............
I highly respect the dude but I think he should cash out why hes a living legend rather than a dead one because the life expectancy of these racers are 5-10yrs max.

Love this athlete and this race. However, this recording sounded like the mic was up someone’s nose.
John mc guinnes
Iegend.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Honda powerfull it's amazing.
He must now surely realise after his latest TT results that now is the time to retire !
Hi i'm from indonesian
In jakarta.
Riders of his calibre know their limits - they'll be a few more wins for McGuiness I'm sure - proving he has a good bike.
Once im rich i need to get my hands on v4 norton god that bike is beautiful
Tell me John McGuinness is no longer involved in vols. I don't understand English and there are no Russian credits.
You’ve nothing to prove John.............. you’ve had your day as No1 don’t let the TT take your last.
He is a legend and nothing left to prove.....I've got a horrible feeling this is going to bite him on the arse. ..don't do it john ,take a nice cushy job commentating on wsb or something ....
Get out now John before it takes you
I want him to do well but I think its his time to quit while ahead.
Come back home John ! Honda is your home ! With the new CBR 1000 RR-R you will win again
Quit while you can. You may dip the well to many times.
😍😍😍😍😍🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
