'The boat that Guy built'. looks interesting.

Guy Martin with his own show!!! this will be classic, the fella is a biking legend. Bet he devotes a programme to how to make a proper cup of tea.

Thanks for the heads up Grumpy.

When i was wandering around the pits last year at the TT, Guy wobbled past me on a mountain bike, with an elderly fella trying to get him to sign his autograph.
The fella was chasing him and guy says "c`mon old fella, try`n keep up mate".
He did eventually stop and sign the autograph but the old fella was knackered.

Looking forward to the telly show, should be very interesting.

I remember reading in Evo that this guy blew all the money he earnt on biking on an Aston Martin, which he kept in his girlfriend's Dad's shed.

Interesting character.

I think he's wonderful, such a character and so down to earth. Hope he talks a bit slower, he's usually turbo charged when interviewed and you only get one word in three. Definately one to watch. Guy Martin then Mark Harmon later what more could a girl want on a Wednesday!

What a bloody character ! Looking forward to this...

We've been fortunate to have had some great guests at our bike club (Poynton Motorcycle Club). Namely John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, James Whitham and Guy Martin.Guy is a really top bloke,a down to earth type and very entertaining.
Will definately be watching !

Il be watching I quite like him as well! :).... beats Xfactor on ice twaddle !

[gary tompkins]

Saw a trailer for this on TV tonight - looks worth a watch

[dam]

I met him once at a Heinne Gericke night, top bloke, even gave him a couple of our "Mans Teas" which he much appreciated - even gave me some stickers!!!

[He11cat]

Right way to make tea.. wonder if he puts tea in after or before hand... well that will keep my sparse brain cells active for a day...

[dam]

Milk first, then you guage how much you are putting in

He was in good form here, but Rossi seemed to have a bit of trouble with the language barrier

Guy Martin likes milk in first so that it creates an emulsion rather than a mixture. As explained at 2:30 of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjfi-ZhzLOI

[NattyBoy]

"you know" count 63 lol !

That clip is quality...remember a couple of bits on ITV4 when it lashed down ands they had nothing else to report.. this is my other fave..

I have a Guy Martin cup complete with instructions on the side for the perfect brew, and his advice is milk first.
