@@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.

no matter what you are always a champion for me Sir John.

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.👑

this man is one of a living legend to the greatest motor sport race ever

Subbed, John is a legend among the finest in motorcycle racing. A true gladiator, with balls heavier than a dump truck

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.

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

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..

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 ☘

A true legend.. just don’t overdo it John...

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 🤴🏻🏍

What a legend and a thorough gentleman

Surviving the TT 23 times is a miracle, let alone winning it!

Absolute Legend. I really hope he does get to retire on his own terms.

He is a legend as well as a bloody nice bloke......good luck john... Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly

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.

Awesome bloke, Take care John. Thank you mate.

Mad Love and respect from Canada 🇨🇦. John you’re a legend!

Absolute legend. Nothing but respect fine sire!

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.

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

I 🧡 how down to earth and like the next door neighbor kinda guy. You know, one of those types that you just want to have a beer with. 🏍🏁

John McGuinness is what this sentence was made for ( A true legend, in his own lifetime ). There are many racers but only ONE John 💪💪🇬🇧👍

I like him very much, love the way he talking about it,so much passion 👍

He puts it across well, can hear his passion for it.

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

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

you are an exceptional pilot. M

GOAT!!

on ya mate

Esse cara é simplesmente o melhor

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.

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

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 🤔 !

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 🙂!

John mc guinnes Iegend. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Honda powerfull it's amazing.

🇮🇲king of the road 🇮🇲

if ever you're going to be a normal spectator in the hedge somewhere, just let me know. i'll bring the beer.

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.

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

Legendary JM...pls retire. Somehow it must come to an end. No one wants to lose you...its too risky as you aged...

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.

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.

The Morecambe Missile......

Мото это круто 💪👍

Once im rich i need to get my hands on v4 norton god that bike is beautiful

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.

Stay alive, boy! 2023, if corona allows it, i'll get a selfie with you!!!!

RIDE TO LIVE LIVE TO RIDE JOHN McGUINNESS ..............

Love this athlete and this race. However, this recording sounded like the mic was up someone’s nose.

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.

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.

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 ....

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 want him to do well but I think its his time to quit while ahead.

Get out now John before it takes you
