23-times-a-TT race winner, John McGuinness, isn't called 'King of the Mountain' for nothing. The 'Morecambe Missile' took us on a lap of the Isle of Man's famous Mountain Course to show us which the most important parts of the circuit are for a decent lap time.
All aboard the Honda Fireblades and off around the 37.73-mile TT course we went.

He’s a good guy and talks a lot of sense. I live on the Isle of Man so I’ve seen a bit of the TT. A few years ago it was a rainy day for the super bike or senior race. Some of the riders wanted to go racing in the rain but John didn’t. When asked by the media he said “You get some bold riders, you get some old riders. But you don’t get many old bold riders”. Quality!

As an America watching from of all places, Wichita Ks; I really admire this man. I know most the names of the top tier riders, somehow I find him the one who I would most likely want to be around. Always cheerful and amazingly humble. I would feel totally comfortable sitting with him over a nice dinner. I feel like I could converse with him for hours and never be made to feel out of place. I’m sure he and I could share plenty of stories about motocross. It was a huge passion of mine for a good number of years. Now days I ride a sportbike at the crazy age of 63.

if they still did the 125cc TT (a shame that they got rid of it, especially now where it could be a great proving ground and advertising for Asian companies where 125 and 250cc bike make up the majority of bikes) he could ride those because his leg should be could enough for that by then. But on the big bikes, no chance,

I just love them because they remind me of my youth when a few mates would meet up in a shed drink smoke talk bikes where the smooth urchents went clubing it and got the girls we just lost out but did we ?? I think not we had a bloody great time inosent and humble all the way.. Stay safe John and when its time to stop just do it don't worry fella we will still remember you as a racer and still love ya !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
