[@rolandsmith2141]

Im not a sidecar guy but at the tt there unmissable never realised that the fast guys struggle for a passenger capable of doing "those speeds" but im not surprised one bit.i hope john finds the right man. Another TT top bloke.

[@mickydebargos]

The absolute epitome of TT and road racing in general. The road racing paddock is the best in the world. Good luck John 💪🇮🇲🏍🏁

[@Gggggggg618]

What a nice humble bloke

[@nodtripRS]

Wow, that was fabulous, could feel the passion ooozzzing outta the screen. Hope a top passenger become available.

[@SteveEfromStevesSidecarPlace]

Top man John, there must be someone out there

[@winstonsmith8240]

When I was 14 my brother took me to Mallory Park. Saw some of the greats, but when the sidecars came out I fell in love. I wanted to be the passenger! Sadly John I can't help now. I'm a pensioner and I'd struggle to hang on for a warm up lap. 😅 Good luck sir. 👍 I heard an old Marshall being asked why he did it. He said; " To see some of the bravest men ( and women) in the world try to achieve greatness. ❤

Brilliant show. John's a legend

[@ManxAndy]

John is a wonderful man, , sidecar crazy, , but a wonderful man…I hope he gets a passenger this year, he is the epitome of a TT road racer….and it would be great to see him get another fantastic finish….👍🇮🇲. And he prefers GUINNESS……bonus 👍😂👌🍺

[@terryhosker1298]

A great interviiew With a great and humble man

[@mattphillips9107]

If i hadn't had surgery yesterday I would definitely be offering to hop on. This man is the best driver you could wish for with a level head, a passion as strong as anyone and the experience to take it to the limit. I'm free next year John!

[@dubbybikers3893]

Best yet👍🏻

[@warrensearle9701]

What a class act……

[@stevec-b6214]

passion always gets me, this man has it in spades!!!

[@christophernewton9579]

A real gent, good luck John in finding a passenger.

[@tweeddalesheepdogs1298]

Hi im stuck in a lambing shed but watching your podcast are brilliant great to hear all those old stories ✊keep up the good work lads 👌

[@andrewoverton5170]

Well this is something that the TT organisers need to see if they can help with. They are encouraging solo riders to come to the TT, unless the sidecar class has passengers who can step up to the highest level that class is going to stagnate. If it stagnates everyone will lose interest and the chairs are dead. No good having the machines moving on and drivers getting faster if the ballast is saying 'no thanks, it's not for me'. Gutted for John, he's always up for a chat in the paddock and a really top bloke. Surely it can't end this way for him? Come on Plater, leave off the pies and get in that chair 😂

[@seanpotter4943]

Really enjoyed that

[@mattmid7012]

Great podcast once again. Having seen so many interviews and podcasts now I've got to say that, British and Irish bike racing must have the nicest, down to earth, genuine people across any top level sport in the world. Hope he can find a passenger in time.

[@farrellkev01]

Living legend great podcast

[@manx1569]

John has changed his tune about Max Vasseur then🤔

[@davidgent5726]

Hope you find the right passenger but if you don't you can be proud of what you've achieved over the years .

[@johnrimmer4376]

Excellent Podcast ..well done Chris and Steve ..John Holden has always been one of the most approachable in the paddock so it's good to hear the insights. Lee Johnston would be an interesting passenger (remember Bengt, 'Benga' Johannson with Jock Taylor, similar build to Lee and World 125cc Champion on 2 wheels ?)

[@macky573021]

I really enjoyed listening to this one, I sincerely hope he can find a passenger , would love to see Dean Harrison do it as has experience but I guess be too much with his solo racing?

[@liambegley7937]

Great podcast again! I met John at Oulton Park at a BSB round before the TT last year. Got to say what a really nice guy! Had the time for a good chat in his garage. Are there any plans to have Mark and Dave (starter line guys) on the Podcast? I think it would make another great podcast to hear their views and thoughts on the racing and their roles

[@SimonFoster-px7hd]

We race an ex-john Holden outfit, we were told it was for the 2006 TT and got 3rd but after watching these 2 fab podcasts maybe we were advised wrong. Sounds like he had an LCR in 2006. It was built by Brian Ditchfield we believe.....JH, any info??

[@georgeholden7024]

Hi Simon, Dad got on the podium with your bike in 2005 and 2006, he changed to LCR after the TT in 06 👍

[@SimonFoster-px7hd]

@@georgeholden7024 that's fab, thank you George. Massive fingers crossed for your dad this year 👍

[@markjfox866]

Someones got to step up for his passenger

[@robertgreenwood6940]

I'll be his sidecar passenger, no joke sign me up

[@Misfirefly]

Don't worry old man you got George to carry on the Holden name bet your so proud of your 2 sons 😂😅😂😅

[@steveclark2996]

FFS pineapple or no pineapple. Now I know why Chris is there 😎

[@nicethings2070]

With injuries comes litigation. Agreements to limit liability for injury are strongly disfavored by courts. Even well-drafted releases and waivers can be invalidated as contrary to public policy. The Supreme Court rejected the traditional approach in an opinion which should certainly trouble organizers of sport activities. The court concluded that the owner was in a superior bargaining position because the plaintiff had "no meaningful alternative to defendant's take-it-or-leave-it terms” The court relied heavily on the company's duty of reasonable care "to avoid creating risks of harm to its business invitees”. Perversely, this division essentially immunizes the biggest risk-takers from the release of liability contained in the release agreement they are forced to sign. High rates of participation helped the court invalidate the agreement. The release of liability violates public policy. In essence, the court found it inequitable for the company to invite large numbers of people to a hazard it created, and then disclaim any liability for resulting injuries. Lawsuits to come.
