Guy Martin is a thoughly nice and down to earth chap,yes he does drink a lot of tea during his working day.His dad Ian runs a Scania deqlership that Guy used to work at up until quite recently.They are both as mad as each other in their quest for speed on two wheels.Ian used to race and still has a couple of classic race bikes that he uses.As Albs pointed out Guy is not normally slow with anything and that includes talking too !

Guy is very lucky to be alive after his huuuuge crash at the Island last year. Its quite rare to walk away from a crash like that at the IOM. Wink

According to hid he might be the new Fred Dibnah.

What I want to know is how can anyone who drinks that much tea manage a lap of the IOM without stopping? Or was that the cause of the crash? A bladder full of pg tips is enough to destabilise anything.

I have a very nasty case of Lazydockers back, so conversing with a treachorous scouse git is not going to help my mood. Tongue Angry
