Competing in over 100 TT races, John has taken home 23 wins & 47 podiums. This year, despite some tricky conditions, John secured two top ten’s among his many races, but what keeps him motivated to keep coming back?
When the racing was on it was good racing. And two top ten’s – for me that’s where I am now, I’m a top ten guy. I can’t pull a rabbit out of the hat like I used to. But I still really enjoy it, and I’m super proud to be riding the No.1 Honda and warrant the job if you like. If I wasn’t good enough, I wouldn’t get the Honda job!
That’s what keeps me motivated – the fact I can still do it at 53. A lot of riders get to a point where if they can’t win, they don’t want to know. For me, to still pull the Honda Racing suit on, and go and have a bash at it is plenty.
I thought I’d be long finished - I was Joey Dunlop’s last ever teammate, and he won 3 TT’s at 48. As a youngster, I was looking up at him like “How’s this man still do it at 48?”. Though I do have to look in the mirror sometimes and think ‘You’re getting a bit saggy now, old boy!’
But yeah, I’m still doing it, and still enjoying doing it. I’ll keep on until that time I’m not competitive – then I’ll go and get my bus pass!
To be honest, I’m dead proud to be on these boxes. I’m on the best tool storage product in the business, and I’ll always be on it. So, it’s great for me, great for Honda, and hopefully great for Snap-on too.

FLANK DRIVE
Provides flat to flat contact with fasteners, increasing torque up to 20%
TOUGHNESS
An ability to withstand impact without fracturing in the presence of a defect – they are designed to absorb repeated impact blows
Sockets material has the ability to bend before it breaks – like an elastic band
WALL DESIGN
Concentric wall thickness eliminates weak spots and extends life
Chrome sockets are designed to be used while applying a sustained load – think about using a breaker bar to crack off a lug nut.
They're typically the most ideal sockets for all standard hand tools.
3/8" Chrome is ideal for use on processes such as;
Tightening/ loosening standard automotive nuts, Tighter access areas where wall thickness is an important factor, Dialing in exact torque figures with greater accuracy
Impact sockets are specifically designed for use with impact drivers and wrenches due to their ability to perform even while experiencing vibrations and high torque. Impact sockets are heat-treated to optimise impact service life with a lower hardness than hand sockets and are able to withstand repeated cycling loads of impact wrenches
3/8" Impacts are ideal for use on a range of operations, including; Breaking loose or tightening wheel lug nuts, Breaking free over tightened suspension bolts
FLANK DRIVE
Provides flat to flat contact with fasteners, increasing torque up to 20%
ACCESSIBILITY
Outside diameter is up to 6% smaller than competitors, Uniform wall thickness
NICKEL-CHROME
This alloy plating allows chrome sockets to be highly resistant to rust, corrosion and general wear
