Default Guy Martin

Guy Martin, for the benefit of non Brits, is a well known motorcycle racer, he also has taken part in several world speed record attempts.
He is an experienced automotive engineer who works on commercial vehicles and his own bikes. I don't know if you guys are aware of the Isle of Man TT races, but they are run on closed but ordinary roads with stone walls, steep drop offs, trees, town squares and village streets plus a huge climb over a 2000 foot mountain and down the other side into a bend that would give you grey hairs, a total lap of 37.5 miles and dozens of bends and 200 MPH straights. Google it if you have doubts.
So Guy might not be the best presenter but give him credit to have the "bottle", or the "guts" to ride 3 laps of over 100 miles at race speed and with no run off areas like race tracks.
Regards
Rob
