The word LEGEND does not do this MAN justice 🏍
But it does though.
Thanks mate
How does he fit his cojones in his leathers?
Personally I see that level of skill/focus, whatever you want to call it, on a different planet to any other motorsport. I love f1 and motogp but tt riders and McGuinness himself, mind blown.
You dont die instantly if you get it wrong in F1.
Agreed, it's a different level. If you're not willing to die to go faster - you're going to get beat badly. The commitment / skill is unparalleled in any other motorsport.
Brilliant interview, really showed what a genuine, down to earth human being McGuiness is. Thanks, Kevin.
I eat shit and sleep just like you the only difference is I ride a motorcycle ahhh bit faster cheers mate. Racing like hell to get to heaven
As a biker since I was 16 what these boys do takes so much skill and a huge memory, in moto gp you have a run off in the tt you can have a telegraph pole, brick wall, tree...…..one mistake you are dead respect to these boys they earn every penny.
And they get paid a lot less than the MotoGP or F1 car stars for a much more dangerous "day job".
I am in awe of them.
karlosh different demands in MotoGP. We see the same thing with F1 and WRC right ? I don’t like F1 but I’m sure it’s not easy at all 😁
@@YordanHristooov I guess they need to be talented to drive in F1. Fortunately these days F1 is much safer than in the period from the 1950s through to the early 1980s.
I guess bike road racing is such a spectacle due to the high risks.
I don't mind riding my bikes well within mine and the bikes limits, I could not ride on the edge of those limits like all bike racers do. I am in awe of them.
@Greaser you sad prick you know fuck all about me ......and here we have another keyboard wanker,
@Greaser when you grow some hair on your bollox sonny i might talk to you again do your homework and fuck off to bed and as i said you know nothing about bye bye
Met him coulpe of times, and he is honestly most down to earth profesional racer you can find.
And least we not forget William dunlop
Or Joey or Robert.
Such a legend. He is so humble,nice,down to earth...
How can 23 muppets dislike this. Even if you don't ride the guy is a fucking legend and down to earth as fuck.
a great rider and person.best wishes John. hope you enjoy tt 2022.
He’s my uncles best mate 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve met John, what a legend
Lucky SOB!!! 😉👍
You should come over and do a vlog!
Unfortunately there’s no Theme Parks over here though lol
He’s my dads sisters cousin in law
He's my sisters dad's uncles dogs niece.. We go way back
That is so damn awesome...John is my ultimate hero.
He’s an amazing rider and person. Johnny’s a good presenter. One of the best interviews I’ve seen with Mc Guinness.
Let's just say - this man has earned his rep, as well as the money - and he needs not care about the lot for the rest of his life. Good to know that nice things can also come to nice people, and McPint is a proper one! Top lad who deserves it all! I never heard a bad word about anyone from John. What I always wish for is to see the missile safe at home after every TT. Of course it goes for everyone else as well, but to be fair, this man has set the pace for more than a few decades by now, and that earns some respect in my book. Have a good one, John, play it safe, but go fast!
7 mins is hardly a day. Great man!
Hats off to the man ! long may it continue.He certainly has earned every penny of what he has. top man !!
Increadible Man One of kind, Always there for the Fans and Get the Job Done !!!! 🏍 🏴
I’m a massive fan of Rossi and other riders as well but there is no doubt this guy has balls to race at at the most dangerous track in the world that’s impressive for sure
Rossi rode the TT course with John a few years back and it put the wind up him he said he would not do ever again ❤️🦂
@@missingmac7104yep they asked him to race and he wouldn't he gave the tt lads massive respect there are so many road riders that would break the top 3 at most events but cant afford the backing
A beautiful legend
I was very fortunate enough to meet John at the 2016 TT. Very humble and just a chill guy. He reminds of Keanu Reeves.
Except, by his own admission, for his teeth...
the best man in all of motorsport right there.
you are my inspiration!!!
John is a legendary and a great husband and father of two
Top man loves racing down to earth
Gladiators drawn to the Isle of Man. Good luck John
I just started following this spectacle called the TT, is it me or do these guys have balls of steel? And John McGuinness, this guy is nuts god bless him.
Balls of titanium!
tacheovale fuckin right they do
5:15 that is a healthy fridge.
Also this guy is amazing.
Gladiators of my lifetime 🔨
Great item thanks
Total respect for the guy legend
Thank you kindly greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 cheers mate
LEGEND.
He is the best of the best 👍
Respect sir❤️❤️❤️❤️
day in the life of a freaking LEGEND
Nice guy on a different level no fear
Greatest rider of all time, still is. He is real GOAT of moto racing! Nobody can't touch him!
04:25 someone knows what motorcycle is the one next to motorhome? looks like a Bandit but i am pretty sure it is a Honda, i don´t recognize the model.
Legend.
Dude’s a beast
Who can forget how he rode the spanking brand new designed 04 R1 to a TT win, against stiff competition, with no preparation or testing.
5:45 he did what to them??
Beat them off, didn’t he.
I'd have let him win too if he was willing to go that far XD
Awesome!!! 😃
John McGuinness is as well
2:18 *fart* 😂 knew I've seen this before and this was exactly what I was looking for!
5:40 "and then beat off austrailian cameron donald" bit of a weird way to celebrate a win
taius20 🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHA, brilliant.. this tickled me
@@RoOo796 had me wonder what the hell went on at these tt's. I was starting to think it stood for testicle ticklers
Also play 4:04 through 4:16 with your eyes closed🤣
Love jhon he's a fucking legend 👌
2:17 ???? Was that a fart? Lol
😆
Even legends fart
hehehehehehe
Turbo
GOAT of ALL LEGENDS!!
Such a brave guy on bikes , but scared by the dentist 🤪
my hero
just surviving 19 races at IOM is incredible... but to win 19 races.... 19 of the deadliest races on earth.... this is a race god
I think John needs more attention and recognition just as Marquez does!!
He's quite an unassuming chap if I didn't know who he was I would not think he a motorbike riding speed demon 😈😈😈
“Next time put oil in it” 😂😂😂
Legend
I like to thank my fans WORLDWIDE, I ride like hell to get to heaven. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
John McGuinness is to the TT what Rossi is to MotoGP. John is the G.O.A.T! A legend.
This is about ten years old.
I think 2012 on the end credits. But yes getting on a bit now. Saying that John McGuinness is a legend and top guy. So worth watching.
Valentino Rossi might be the greatest in MotoGP. But Isle of Mann TT is the ultimate race. No race is comparable to it. It’s the ultimate test to the limits. You’re either mad or have a death wish for you to compete in Isle of Mann TT, it’s like a race against death. It’s suicidal considering how dangerous it is. Crashes are usually fatal.
John's a legend and very fast. Not the fastest man around the island anymore though.
"Strawberries and vodka" hahahahaha
He’s made for guinness world record
What happened it was too quick?
#legend
As a mx and sport bike guy from upstate ny ... need to see an isle of man tt, the auto Bahn and a f1 race to complete the bucket racing list lol im mean a Dakar or Tokyo drift is a lil out of the wallets reach
Food for thought, a 4 year old bike to set a lap record… and i think i need better suspension for my trials bike, thats money saved right there 😂😂
Thanh you mister pour la marque de respect of me et me Friend John pour le reportage
Total respect a willam et Mike Dunlop de ma part et merci au reporter pour la marque de respect pour ma part signer Stéphane e
How do be a brick layer as be a legend racer at the same time? I would have figured it would be a full time job!
Another racer at the tt, Guy Martin has set all sorts of speed records and has a own tv-show. But he still is a full time lorry mechanic!
1:26 WTF ???😂😂😂
Hope he knows when to pack it in.....
What about Joey the legend dunlop
damien donaghy the word living, gives it away at the very start!
John mcenroe sure doesn't suck he's pretty good
136.4 mph is lap record now
I wonder why he never sorted out his railings?
John Mcguinness is definitely one of my favourite ever humans. Should definitely be Sir John Mcguinness in my opinion. Deserving of a knighthood way more than some backbencher or city trader. C'mon people who's with me? Like if you agree 👍
thump up !!!

POWERFULL IT'S AMAZING.
They asked rossi to do the tt his words were I'm a good superbike racer but not good enough to race those legends over the years the tt have seen and claimed some amazing riders that turned up on their own bike and gave it to the race teams on their expensive bikes some of those riders were world class had they entered the superbike game but they didn't have the financial support to race that's a fact
At 2:19: is that a fart? ;-)
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

Graet Rider fans in Holland
John's carrying around balls of titanium with carbon fiber coating, definitely not a normal one.
In f1 he would be Schumacher? Senna you mean!
"In Formula one terms..." ...what the fuck doe's that mean?....F1 ain't got a single solitary ball hair of these TT masters mate...maybe in the 60's they did.
You can sure ride a Honda
People should give him money for a bike cause some times their is fault in a bike
How would he do in MOTOGP?
What do you think?
@@adamroy46 Don’t ask a question with a question that’s why I wrote it to get an answer
@@doncappo1509 mate after watching the whole video, if you don’t have an answer to your question, then 🤦🏾♀️
@@adamroy46 then why wouldn’t he be on a factory team? If he loves racing so much, why wouldn’t he do GP? So there’s your 💁♂️🤷
@@doncappo1509 if I’m being honest, I really don’t know. Motogp might have these training programs and shit like that, and I think motogp riders gotta go through moto3 and moto2 or atleast either one of them. Many of these riders are maybe not willing to go through all that, or they may really prefer the near to death thrill that TT gives. If purely talking about ability, then there is no question on whether TT riders would do well in MotoGP

These presenters are not worthy of being in the company of such a legend.

Oof had to cringe at 2:14 when the dweeb in the orange jacket calls McGuinness a silly boy. Even the camera man couldn't help but laugh at him
blacklines mcguiness sad silly boy
Why the bad teeth?
