    Two of the best times In my life was meeting Joey Dunlop when I was a boy and meeting John Mc Guinness in later years two of the worlds greatest 👍

    For Me JM is the greatest rider I have ever seen on the Island, watching him is like a masterclass, not just in riding but in being the greatest statesman for the sport. Time for fans, no spoilt kid tantrums from him.

    What's not to love about this man? Loved every section this video. Those who said he sucks in short track should ride and compete in the TT. Even Valentino Rossi and Loris Cappirosi said these guys who raced the TT are insane and they'll never have the balls to do what TT racers like McPint is doing...and he's being doing this for 20+ years.

    my brother dragged me from Australia to the isle of man, for my first time, in 2014. i wasn't really keen on going, but i must say that my first time at the tt was a life changing event, almost spiritual. we did the tourist bus tour around most of the circuit, of course the mountain section was closed due to an incident. i didn't know who was who amongst the competitors, but i soon learnt about a bloke called john mcguiness.
    2015 i listened to the tt on internet radio - i couldn't believe that my new idol could have won, especially at his age!
    2016 we went back to the island for more - we were privileged to meet john. i have never met someone that has so much time to spend with their fans! he's instantly like a friend that you have known for ever and a day.
    so, 2017, living in australia, can't go every year right? so far away!
    anyway:
    2014 i was there - he did not win
    2015 i was not there - he won
    2016 i was there - he did not win
    2017 he has a new bike - i won't be there, so of course he is going to win :) GO McPint
    i will be watching the delayed races when the video is available, of course with a few pints of guinness.

    His approach to racing, shows that passion and dedication can be combined with a beer now and then and a "normal" family life. And all of this, even with his success, with absolutely no loss of integrity.
    All the best for the coming TT races in 2017, teaming up with Mr. Sideburns

    All the Dunlop fans asking him to retire after this season are rather pathetic. The guy deserves to win as many titles as possible even if it means he surpasses the old legend and becomes the new legend.

    • @theant9821
      @theant9821 6 років тому

      cagednm69 he already is a new legend and has been a while, but this is one of the few motorsports where modern times haven't degraded the purity of being top dog in history. joey would be no less a legend, mike the bike wasn't forgotten because of joey so if he wants to keep going, so should we. if he wins 3 or 4 more races then he'll the datum of the tt as joey is and mike was. so long as he stops in time when he has to.

    Agreed. I'd like to see him retire soon but realistically it's never going to happen with him being so close to Joey Dunlops 26 wins record.
    He's only 3 wins behind so one good year and we could be seeing a new king of the mountain.
    It's a big ask though with the likes of Michael Dunlop, Hutchy and Guy Martin to contend with.
    I'm really looking forward to this year with all the new bikes. I'm hoping the new Fireblade lives up to the hype. We'll see. The BMW 1000rr is still the bike to beat as things stand.
    Can't wait!!
