ShootingEgg Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 The noise of the car.... Just awesome... And fair play to guy, 6 months and a bit of metal later and he is back on the bike.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 No real surprises in the tests (other than the fact Guy is back on a bike so soon after that crash) but very entertaining nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm amazed he can touch his toes after fusing part of his spine . He's one bloke I'd love a beer with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 His genuine enthusiasm for anything with nuts & bolts alone is worth watching, top bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 His programmes are always interesting. But having just read his autobiography I feel he is a bit of a ****. i don't like his "I say it as it is" attitude which borders on rudeness. Whether he likes it or not he is in the media spotlight and therefore has to act accordingly. If he doesn't like it then stop popping up on TV every 5 minutes.

felly100 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I think a lot of the adulation is bordering homoeroticism. I wouldn't mind a ride in that Volvo estate though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I think that Guy has a very switched on Agent working for him ! Just a point in case , you can buy a Snap On roll cab and tool chest , marketed as 'The Guy Martin' for £7,000 without any spanners or sockets in it??? Go figure , what is Guys % out of that little deal? I think in biking he will be remembered as 'The Nearly Man' . So many good opportunities , and nearly won , but actually hardly ever did !

He has fallen out with a LOT of people. Whereas on TV he's this friendly happy chappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I like him but he does have to limit his TV appearences becuse he could get annoying if he was on too much. I can see where others are coming from on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felly100 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 There is a magical implement calle a TV remote. Annoying ***,turn off or over. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 as much as I like guy, and his attitude, the whole thing about him being back on a bike so soon after his crash is a bit of a bone of contention for me. a friend of mine who was also racing at ulster crashed on the same day breaking his femur, rotator cuff, one of his vertebrae and destroying his ankle. he was back on a bike as soon as he got back to Cornwall, albeit an adapted moped so that he could attach his crutches to it as his leg was still in plaster... lol as soon as the plaster was off, he was back on his bike again. he's just managed to secure a place at this years TT as well... yes, it is spectacular that guy healed and got back on a bike so quickly, but I don't think he has done anything over and above what any true motorcycle racer would have done. for anyone who fancies taking a look, Google Forest Dunn or search for "Forest Dunn motorcycle racer" on Facebook and you should be able to bring up some info on him. he's a top bloke and a good friend!

Fuji Shooter Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Amazing to see how quick you can change the back wheel on a super bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 whilst a petrolhead,it was kind of predictable and the voice over really wrecked the programme.....too much waffle and padding not enough action..was also hoping GM would have a go in the f1 car and DC on the bike....GM is a one off but anyone who does the TT deserves a medal.
