They say you should never meet your heroes, but not so in the case of John McGuinness.
I consider it a privilege to have met and spent quality time with him over the past 5 years working on the Mugen Shinden project and he is exactly as he comes across in most media - an ordinary bloke who happens to be quite(!) good around a stretch of tarmac in the middle of the Irish Sea, and who absolutely lives for his racing, the TT and his fans, with a massive knowledge and respect for the history of the sport.
A true ambassador for the TT.
