now I'm just more confused, just found this -
John was born on the 16th of April 1972. At the age of five he began riding in motorcross, changing to road racing at the age of 18.
Johns first race bike was a 1992 TZ250 he bought with the money he
made from collecting mussels in his home town of Morecambe Bay.
Bricklaying was Johns trade until his talents for motorcycle racing
were recognised. He was inspired from an early age by the likes of
Steve Hislop and Joey Dunlop
but neither of these are a choice??

I think it's Evil Kenevil.
During the film John McGuinness says that he wore the Evil Kenevil stars and stripes suit and helmet and jumped over 14 toy buses. He even wrote to Jim'll Fix It to do a jump with his hero.0 -
Thanks for posting Weeowens.
I have found this, so would go with evil knievil.
John McGuinness, a multiple TT champion, recalls riding over 14 toy buses as a child in order to emulate his idol, the American daredevil Evel Knievel
