Read Guy Martins Auto Biography recently and first time I saw him was in a IOM TT documovie where felt he was a bit of a prat, seeing him in the Docus since I figure I called it wrong as he comes across as a larger that life character.

Chatting to an Irish guy recently who big into Motorbike Road Racing who said Guy probably one of the nicest most genuine guys he has ever come across in 35 plus years of being involved in the sport................daft as a brush but someone who fans love because he gives his all.
Told a story of in Ireland when he goes to one road race and visits some friends that the wife of the friend just says that teabags in the house will just get all used up such is his tea drinking skills.

Guy was named after a certain Guy Gibson of which he claims to be very proud of giving said Gibsons exploits.

He is definitely entertainment and a genuine nice guy so please do a reminder on the day.
