Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness tells his own story in his own words accompanied by 150 photographs by Stephen Davison.
‘‘I’m forty now, stronger than ever, and I’m still winning races. Joey had won fourteen by the time he was my age, but age is just a number as he proved when he won three TTs when he was forty-eight. I’ve still got my health and the desire to win – it’s not over yet.’ John McGuinness



In this unmissable new book, legendary Isle of Man TT rider John McGuinness tells his own story in his own words for the first time. Featuring over 150 of Stephen Davison’s stunning photographs, the book charts every part of McGuinnness’s TT career, from his first trips to the Island as a teenager when he stowed away on the ferry from Heysham on his BMX bike, to the heady days when he stood alongside his childhood hero Joey Dunlop on the podium, his subsequent wins and lap records, and his involvement in the Honda TT Legends team. John McGuinness: Isle of Man TT Legend is a unique opportunity to share in the highs and lows of McGuinness’s record-breaking career, to discover the behind-the-scenes story of the much-loved Morecambe missile and to experience the magic of real road racing in the company of one of the world’s most exciting motorbike riders.
