Synopsis

'The maddest 12 months of my life. The journey starts with an oddball race up an American mountain and ends with me checking myself out of hospital with a broken back. Again …'

As Guy Martin's grandfather Voldemars frequently reminded him,'When you dead, you dead.' So, before it's all over, Guy Martin is making the most of the time he’s got.

In this past year alone, Guy has raced the Isle of Man TT and finished on the podium; bike trekked through India; competed in solo 24-hour bicycles races; flown a stunt plane; broken a go-kart speed record down a French mountain and dusted himself off after a dramatic crash at the Dunrod 150 Superbike race. And he’s done all this around his day job as a truck mechanic.

But let Guy tell you about it himself: ‘This book starts in a Transit, ends in a Transit, and in between I’ve raced a few pushbikes, raced a few motorbikes and got a fair few stories to tell you.’ Spot on.

I can't believe I'm reading books written by a TV celeb, but Guy Martin is different, his merits from the Isle of Man TT are spectacular. So I'm reading him for the motorbike stories. And to be honest I like reading about all the other silly things he does too. After reading this for a while I reali......more

Goodreads review by Michael Gibson on January 02, 2017

Eye opening honesty Guy is totally honest about the way he see's the world. To a fan of Guy it makes you reassess how you view him. I now see him as insensitive and self centred with little acknowledges of his fan base and how it has positioned him.......more
