I'm back guys.. Follow along for the road trip & stay tuned for weekly content from my trip. Anyone keen for a Q&A? Let me know below & hopefully we can make another vlog this week. Cheers JR
Class wee dog. Nice addition to the family. Think thats the most relaxed and chilled ive seen you on any of your videos. This season is gonna be a belter and we will all be cheering you on.
Happy new year champ. I bloody hate driving distance.. but for that sun and weather .. oh hell yeah worth it.. I love the vlogs pal. I enjoy seeing how humble a 6 time world champ is. Your a true inspiration
Nice little pup....well behaved. Enjoy the sunshine. Here in Canada we are into the below zero temps and snow. No tracking and dirt riding is done for the season. Looking forward to the 2024 WSBK season. Keep the vids coming.
It's great as a dog lover to see how much you love Roxy. We lost our 7-year-old dog to a sudden cancer out of the blue in 2023. Make the most of their love. It was like losing a family member, which they are. I am still not over it now. Hope the Yamaha & you go better than the Kawasaki did. Good luck & Happy New Year. I can't wait for the season to start.
Happy new year Jonathan, love your dog, used to have a boxer years ago and it was as mad as a bunch of frogs. Hope you and the family have a great time out in Spain and you can get a good bit of training in before you start the new chapter in your career. Can’t wait for the season to start, going to be really interesting with you on the Yam, Toprak on the BMW and Sam coming into the championship on a Ducati. Still think you have another championship in you so let’s hope it’s 2024👍🏍️
So nice to see your family & Roxy! 🥰 Good little traveler! Glad you all made it there safely! Enjoy, get some good training in & yes, a Q&A would be great! Wishing you, your family & team a Happy, Healthy & Successful New Year! 💝 from 🇺🇸
Happy new year, loved the vlog, as a boxer mom myself, just loved Roxy. So, as many boxer owners know, you have to be mad to have one. Good luck for next year. Think Roxy needs her own vlog.
Thanks again for sharing the back story of a WSBK World champion Jonathan. It's great to see the guy behind the racing. Oh and wee Roxy is such a cute dog. Happy New Year 👍
Great to catch up with you on your down time for racing. Love your new companion, she is beautiful. Enjoy the Spanish sun with your family. Happy New year and all the best for your new race team.
Cool travel vid JR - The dog took it like a champ, bless her. would of been cool to do a little house tour of the place to finish with. :) Never mind maybe in the next one. GL with the racing this year!!!
Buon anno nuovo e auguri di un buon campionato mondiale superbike! 💪sono un nuovo possessore di r1 modello 2023 non deludere la bici yamaha r1 che uso solo su strada! 😜
Happy New Year JR. Looking forward to seeing you on the Yam. Bit of a bummer they moved the date for the Portimao round 😕 . The Missus is gonna be gutted we're now going to Portugal for our summer hols 😅
Happy new year mate. Roxy is a little beauty . You need to get a sticker of her face and have it on your bike when you’re racing somewhere 🏴👍🏻🏴
Yes, a Q&A video would be great. I think everyone appreciates you taking the time to bring us behind the scenes. Q1: In 2019, Bautista started the season off really strong… and then went backwards. What are your views on this? Were there any regulation changes due to him skirting the rules in the early rounds? Feel free to say “no comment”! Q2: Any comments on the YZF 250 v 450 for 2024? Which is your pick? Q3: In Portimao, your top speed was 315kph. Lowes and Toprak hit 318.7kph. Rinaldi 319.6kph. And Bautista 315.9kph. Basically, Bautista wasn’t making up time on the straights. Nor was he making it up in corner entry (versus Toprak!!). You were also the fastest rider that weekend. So is Bautista simply just faster on corner exit over race distance? Is that what it boils down to? If so, would you support more manufacturers moving towards a V4 engine layout (for better spaced power strokes) or is the I4 sufficient? Q4: Last one, bike setup and adjustment is all important, but what about rider adjustment to better suit the characteristics of the bike? During testing, are there ever any riding tweaks that you make as a rider leaving all else equal? I’m starting to think it’s not the best bike or the best rider that wins, but the best bike-rider combo. Any thoughts on this line of thinking?
Enjoyed the video Jonathan. Really envious of the lovely weather there and Roxie is georgeous. All the best for the new year to you and yours. Nice van BTW 👍
Loved you before but seeing you and taking the dog I loves you even more, take care and don’t worry about replying to the many followers you have , they’ll understand.
Hey from Texas Johnny, thanks for the smiles. Spent a few years in Spain with the military. Loved it there. Barcelona is spectacular! Enjoy your stay. P.S. If you could mention it to the SBK boys to bring a race weekend to the States at the Austin track that would be super. Thanks mate.
And i was thinking only us the mortals do these long crazy trips with the camper until spain - great vid, great champ, Even greater since you re with Yamaha :)))
Oh I'd love a wee trip to Spain. I don't think it's stopped raining in my part of ireland for 3 weeks now, proper miserable. Actually that's exactly the trip I would love to do on the bike.
I'd trade with you for that drive any day. I love driving long distance. Nice van, too. Will you get Yamaha MX bikes now, do you have to align with the brand? Thanks for the videos, keep them coming :)
Hope that Yamaha has got the straight line handling (as we call it in Oz) to combat that jockey on the duke, make sure you retire in Phillip Island your a hero here, cheers mate.

Looking forward to seeing you kick some arse this year Johnny ! Don’t let the 11 year old Ducati rider win them all lol.
Enjoy your trip! Cant wait to see you in 2024 and happy new year
Legend Johnny. Thanks for sharing the non so glamorous side of the sport. Keeping it real.
Nice little pup....well behaved. Enjoy the sunshine. Here in Canada we are into the below zero temps and snow. No tracking and dirt riding is done for the season.
