But checking out his kitchen, I notice a rather rare and exotic Bimota V-Due sitting in the corner, and something perhaps even more special or secret, sitting under a tarpaulin?!!
The bloke needs a "check up from the neck up" but he is such a likeable character and cheeky buggha!!!
He is a good watch. I liked the sooper special aerodynamic experts answer to cutting drag................put a massive square in front of him. Hope they did'nt pay him much.
What an excellent program. Guy Martin is my favorite Road Racer and it's great that he is the "bloke next door" who is so down to earth. A working mans hero if you like.
I can't believe he did it on SAND! Wearing his old race leathers and a full face helmet with sand blowing everywhere! Top man Guy. Can't wait for the next program.
Agree it's great program, but couldn't understand why he did it on sand ?
Sands so unpredictable & energy sapping, even a slight dusting, effects traction
As said the 100mph test run looked so easy on tarmac & considering it was only a test run, surely if he'd have been prepared & psyched up like the Pendine run he'd have reached his goal of 120+
He only had 3 minutes maximum power output in his legs, so if there'd have been able to tow him along the slip road onto the runway at around 40mph (in stead of the previous standing start) surely he'd have had a long enough runway to reach maximum speed ?
I'm no scientist though
Dont come any more straight talking than Guy Martin, I love the way he tells it like it is.:thumbup:
Great bloke and a great show, cant wait for the next one.
Fastest man on a bicycle:wav:
Nowt wrong wi that.
Oi, pasty muncher!! Stop picking on me old mate Guy....by 'eck
I have to admit to be slightly disappointed when I saw them making that surf board to strap on the bottom of his bike, BUT, there's no taking it away from him, he did bloody well and clearly has bollocks made of black pudden or summin'. They also made a point of reading the rules which stated "foils" were allowed.
Anyway, for us bikers, he is fantastic entertainment and an British ambassador for motorcycling and motorcyclists. Hopefully he raises awareness of how nice most two-wheeled riders are.
TT Competitor
120+ mph cyclist
Rides across water
Human powered aircraft pilot
and next week, 100mph downhill sledger
I've got this theory.... they're just gonna carry on giving him challenges until they kill him!!!
Daft Buggahs!!![/QUOT
He,s not as daft as he is cabbage looking. If he feels its not safe he wouldnt do it.:blob8:
He is one beer short of a six pack though.
Guy Martin was brilliant in all the Tv shows he has made.
All he needs to do now is get that elusive TT trophy then jobs a good un..
Even posh birds and Lords like him,nowt wrong wi that.
