The legend that is John McGuiness MBE... 2 .5 hrs of sense, excluding Doms bits obvs.. great to have this to listen to... well done Dom on the well deserved podium, we all knew you could do it... Thanks Grace for all your hard work keeping the monkeys in order...

[@left-hand-threaded]

Just 3 blokes having a chat, made 2hrs feel like 10 mins

[@richie7361]

What an episode that was. John is so honest and down to earth. Loved listening to the stories of early morning practice and about the dunlops when he was saying about joey into kerrowmoar. Fantastic

[@user-me9km6kl4w]

This post TT chat with John McGuinness MBE was absolute Gold. I instantly recognise that John is a massive fan of the TT, I imagine his goal at the TT is the same as it was when he used to watch it as a lad and that is just to be part of it, to ride his Bike as hard as he can.

[@NUFC2412]

These absolute clowns slagging John off for coming back to the TT. Same ones who probably can't even ride a BMX ffs.

[@TheWelshmanCC]

Brilliant stuff!

[@barryrose4850]

What a great way to spend 2 hours while the football was on, top job boys 🏁

[@FourEM909]

Never disappoints "Akroyd You Prick " sets the tone as genuine mates chatting -Love it 😁

[@Hairysnid]

I really enjoyed that! Certaimly made two hours of decorating fly by! 😆

[@garyabblett3128]

On the exit of Glen Helen the water was seeping up through the middle of the road, they hadn’t sealed it when they resurfaced, a cock up basically. It needs to be sorted, ideally before the Manx but, more likely by TT 2025. It meant rain flags for most of the 2 weeks, not great for marshals who have to hold them for hours at a time.

[@johnreynolds2055]

I miss him so much, words can’t come close ❤

[@nicksidell4797]

What an absolute pleasure that was to listen to that so many up and down in that interview what a legend you are. And like you said John until they can beat you you’re not having a bike brilliant 👏👏

[@allisonewing9498]

Great episode, absolutely loved it. I met John at Honda in Belfast quite a few years ago and he was so lovely.

[@ArthursMam]

Loved watching this. John just being himself and just chatting away to the lads. How anyone can comment on whether he should still be racing when he’s faster than ever and loving riding his bikes is beyond me. Loved seeing him get on the podium again at NW200 this year. He got the biggest cheer of the day. I hope he keeps racing and doing things his way, and people mind their own business and leave him to it, regardless of his weight or where he finishes. Great to hear Honda have a ride for him next year again. He’s a brilliant ambassador for them and the sport.

[@ontrackmedia_]

Great chat as always gents

[@Dane_Walker]

Get in the Mackems getting a shoutout on CTR!! John you are an absolute legend and we appreciate every memory you’ve given us fans over the years. Long may it continue.

[@davemarriott]

He's right about TT plus. It gets me through the winter.

[@michaelamiss1828]

Another great interview. John McGuiness, Thankyou. TT+ coverage absolutely worth every cent. Aussie fan 🇦🇺

[@richardnorthcott8228]

Trust me john i was a cyclists that rode 200 miles a week and rsn 50 miles in the welsh mountains until i had a accident which resulted in major spine surgery . You are the man and always pushing on so 💯 respect to you 💪

[@neiltitley2468]

Bloody brilliant lads, well done! 🥃

[@ewanburnett3956]

Top bloke is John McGuiness 👍🏻 another quality podcast, would have been interesting to hear what 3 racers he would have gone for a pint with.

[@shirleybimson9219]

3 mates just having a crack about the TT Love it 🫶❤️🏍 xx

[@ManxAndy]

Hey Dom…..you might have the ledge McPint on the show….but who got a TT podium this year eh….at least you didn’t take a bet that if you did, you would streak naked down strand street in Douglas….lol. 👍👌🇮🇲😜

[@benguyton5095]

Looked forward to this one following your podium Dom. Well done

[@christopherfaulks6594]

Brilliant just the three blokes dragging out stories class❤

[@NodbodRS]

A belter that one. John can hold his head up high after a great year. A credit to himself. Dom was a top podium for yourself, watched it at the creg, funny as, your comments in the interview.

[@PaulDewey-fe9ui]

That was class!!!

[@rayleather8005]

I remember the 2003 tt very well, very emotional with John on the monster mob Ducati , adrian archibald but the tragedy of losing DJ

[@piotrprokop7210]

Two Words. Absolute Legend 💪👏❤

[@user-sm1mx2qb5c]

Love listening to John 🥰 the TT legend, have great respect for this man. Great podcast as always. Please can you tell me where to order that book JMcG was talking about?

[@jimbo32578]

John is an absolute gent and a proper fella. So talented and likeable yet so humble. Always time for people he will probably always be number 1 in my eyes. Imagine some anonymous nobody sat in their box bedroom calling him out on twitter likely sat in their underpants reeking of urine 😂😂😂😂😂 good on big John. Dom too a great gifted and humble lad no edge with him met them both in person they're a credit to the sport

[@user-ip8hg8me4g]

John is a living legend & national treasure, deserves a free pass to do the tt for as long as he wants. What truly touched me is how he cares about all the other lads & looks after them with advice/ reassurance etc , putting Ben birchall in touch with the right surgeon so he didn’t have have his fingers off etc etc I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets quicker but I’d happy watch him wobble round on a c90 . Special.

[@gw4717]

That just really pisses me off who in the he'll thinks they can say anything bad about John he such amazing 👏 guy a racer and he's, fast I truly believe he will get on the box again

[@TCM_Productions]

Another great show! Congrats on the TT podium Dom- well earned. These interviews are priceless for those of us that have only but dreamed about going to the TT, let alone getting to talk shop with the legends of the roads like some old pals in the garage over a few pints. For the keyboard idiots, I couldn't think of nothing better than seeing Johnny Mac and Rutter somehow making a TT podium in the future.

[@Mox3d]

Tipped me over the edge this did. Just comin to end on utoob, what can I say. This is like proper banter. I dunno. Just sorted. Opening up on a flatulent moment. Doesn’t get better nor does it get any better no, kidding. Fn loved this one, and I’ve parted with money I ain’t got to support on Patreon. Aces aces. Love 2yall, thank you.

[@Alex-tj4vd]

Give this man his flowers whilst he is still here 💐

[@alanwhitten8682]

That was great craic

[@menelik-present5242]

MBE I can see why the posters are falling....

[@ASC63Funky]

Cheers ladz

[@davemarriott]

Brilliant.

[@88pedro888]

John looks a bit like Tony Blackburn there 😂

[@jeffstratton8838]

Glad to see Dom on the podium,hey john said it's impossible for him to beat the top three why? I don't know of anyone that would right you off, I wish I had your knowledge ALOT of men do,

[@craigharrington4731]

I tried to order the book but I guess that you dont ship to Canada?

[@scientificbasis]

Really interesting hearing the chat about keyboard warriors and online criticism. I feel really sorry for the riders and teams who put in so much just to have f..kwits sitting at home spouting nonsense for no reason, without really thinking about how much it can rock people. It's just casual bull, and the 0.1% don't speak for the 'real fans'. Keep up the good work guys, I love these pods.

[@Adam-oi7kq]

Never understood what some people apparently say about John.. nobody telling the people behind him to wrap in so why should he can't be bike fans must just be some internet plebs

[@wyndhamtyley6174]

didnt a guy crash into the pub wall just after the big jump. bob price or something i recall. n died? this year?

[@5davi524]

@wyndhamtyley6174 that was 2014

[@BurtGivens]

He looks a bit like bentancur

[@jfoz7602]

Anybody who says John should retire is clueless! With that logic every rider who finished behind him this year should retire too! There would be no race 🤣

[@alannea617]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@jvtruth2019]

Dom……. SHUTTY! Lay off the sugar son.

[@themenoatree]

Hi Dom and Grace. Is there anyway you can contact me/ I can contact you privately? Little bit of a favour to ask.

[@MotorbikePod]

Hi there, its Grace please email [e-mail]
