Guy Martin - My Autobiography - bsa499 - 27-12-2014
My wife gave me a copy of Guy's new book for Christmas and I've just finished reading it. If you've got a copy read it if you haven't get one. It's very well written and his insights on his family are heartwarming. The descriptions of all his racing exploits, particularly in Ireland are fascinating, accurate and very real.
As for the TV stuff it's ok but I'm not over bothered about it, it does surprise me however that there are no parallels drawn between Guy's TV persona and that of Fred Dibnah.
The book's a credit to Guy, I always was a fan and now I admire him even more.
Good luck Guy I hope you win a TT but if you don't you don't, more important than that stay safe!!

I've read it (as many will recall my suggestive naughty thread title on the no longer mentioned website) and thoroughly enjoyed it. i almost bought it for a friend and am glad I didn't as he got it from his mum.

I got it as an early Christmas present, I really enjoyed it, he takes the time to explain lots of the stuff that has floated around about him over the years, why he avoids the crowds, why he split with previous teams, and it all makes perfect sense.
He is very matter of fact in places when he discusses certain people, but in a professional way.
I would strongly recommend this book to everyone.
