[Closed] Guy Martin - On his new MTB, the TT, steam engines and smoking cigs

Superb!
He really is on a different planet 😀

No "chief", "boss" etc either.

He was looking a tad more down when his Superbike packed up on the 5th lap yesterday

He seems to have good consistent speed though so he may bag a win yet

Ooooh, Guy Martin - I'd get on the back of his motor bike anytime 😀

I felt for him yesterday as he was walking towards that tree.

He truly is a one off top bloke. Shame there can't be more characters like him.

what I love about him is he's had a BBC1 TV series, so when he says "I've got a new van" you expect to see some blinged up pick up he's bought / been given. But no, Its his van from his new job, fixing trucks. So down to earth it's untrue, brilliant.

i wonder what the bike was that got nicked? Penny farthing?
#man love#

Top bloke but he can't half talk

I bet he talks like that even when he's on his own

Although he's got the Aston for when he fancies a bit of bling 😉

He`s been fixing trucks for a while now.

To be honest I haven't a clue who he is as I don't follow motor sport but enjoyed that clip he seems to be one happy chap 🙂

On board with Guy Martin. Tis amazing

1freezingpenguin, take butcher at this [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/the-boat-that-guy-built ]thread[/url] and watch the TT2010 Supersport Race 1 interview, if that not down to earth...

all we have to wait for now is the Guy Martin backlash where everyone says he's a crybaby, self-interested wolverine freakshow who hasn't even won a TT yet 😐

Top bloke. He's the Fred Dibnah of the current age.

all we have to wait for now is the Guy Martin backlash

I'll be in the charge 🙂

He thinks cotton comes from sheep. Fred'd ave known it doesn't

It's an easy mistake, I mean cotton wool does.

EDIT: RIP Derek Brien

" Ope give us that", nice.

his accent is unreal. i grew up about 4 miles from his house.

no-one round here talks like that. no one.

All northerners speak like that don't they?

Is there an antidote to Guy Martinitis? Enough already of the cheeky-chappie-done-good IMO

Ah, the back lash has started! Wondered how long it would be.
Congratulations Rocketman, you'll be forever remembered as the one who started the ball rolling! 😉

Ooooh, Guy Martin - I'd get on the back of his motor bike anytime

He prefers a good w**k (see TT3D)

Or according to MBR, he prefers boring out engines to women!

Is there a version with subtitles?

I suppose a start would be not to read a thread titled "Guy Martin...." & then feel the need to post a comment on it.

Just a thought, like.....

Not to forget he had his bike pinched near Newcastle, think he was riding up and around Chopwell by the sounds of it

top tenuous claim to fame - the guy i work next too's cousin gave him a lift back after that breakdown. Plus after todays hedge fest he got back, fixed it and ended up 3rd in the rerun.

oh, and he's apparently doing the local Longest Day Longest Ride 24hr event on the 18th/19th (if he doesn't kill himself trying to win....)

ps seen TT3d? - its ace but if you can't take GM don't bother as he's in it a lot as counterpart to Hutchies measured professionalism

we don't all get a new free one from Hope though do we? 🙁

we don't all get a new free one from Hope though do we?

But we don't all get to do TV interviews after M/B races and a TV series whilst wearing Hope branded kit though, do we? (or if we did maybe we would...)
Media 'star' wears branded kit shocker...

Fair play to Hope and Guy IMO

I'm a big fan, but when he says he's 'just' a truck mechanic, I think you'll find it's his and his father's business .....

Congratulations Rocketman, you'll be forever remembered as the one who started the ball rolling!
