Summary

The Phenomenal Sunday Times Number-One Best Seller

"It was the start of the third lap of the 2010 Senior TT, the last race of the fortnight. The last chance to get a TT win for another year, and I was pushing hard. Ballagarey. The kind of corner that makes me continue road racing. A proper man’s corner. You go through the right-hander at something like 170 miles per hour, leant right over, eyes fixed as far down the road as I can see. But this time something happened. This time the front end tucked...." 

Guy Martin, international road-racing legend, maverick star of the Isle of Man TT, truck mechanic, and TV presenter lives on the edge, addicted to speed, thoroughly exhilarated by danger. 

In this book we’ll get inside his head as he stares death in the face and risks his life in search of the next high. 

We’ll discover what it feels like to survive a 170 mile per hour fireball at the TT in 2010 and come back to do it all again. He’ll sweep us up in a gritty sort of glory as he slogs it out for a place on the podium, but we’ll also see him struggle with the flipside of fame. We’ll meet his friends and foes, his family, his teammates and bosses, and we’ll discover what motivates him and where his strengths and weaknesses lie. 

For the first time, here is the full story in Guy’s own words, from the boy who learned to prep bikes with his dad to the spirited team mechanic paying his way by collecting beer glasses in pubs to the young racer at the start of his first race and the buzz he’s been chasing ever since. 

This thrilling autobiography is an intense and dramatic ride.

Fascinating

This book surprised me, honest and blunt but a fascinating insight into the life of a TT racer and a lot more beside. Guy Martin is the sort of bloke you'd love to sit down and have a cup of tea with.

great book! Why not Guy Martin Narration?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Just wish Guy Martin had narrated it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Guy Martin: My Autobiography?

His childhood is very interesting to me

What didn’t you like about Dean Williamson’s performance?

The way he said certain words like riders names and MPH would not be how Guy would say them and pull me out of the story.

Could you see Guy Martin: My Autobiography being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

No

Great Read or Listen

Where does Guy Martin: My Autobiography rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say its in my top ten for this years listens so far, exhilarating, shocking & thoroughly entertaining in equal measure

What did you like best about this story?

It’s got all the thrills and spills I would want & expect from a book on Guy Martin’s life.

What does Dean Williamson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I would have preferred Guy to have narrated the book but Dean does a fair job

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no, its all good proper stuff

Any additional comments?

He’s a cross between Fred Dibnah and Barry Sheene, a thrilling ride through Guy’s life to date, a hugely enjoyable memoir

C u next tuesday

This is a very unique book about a very unique guy....called.....Guy. I was laughing out loud at loads of places in this book. Very honest, very direct in the way he describes people and situations, but that is refreshing. He does seem more at home with machines than people, but he definitely appreciates genuine no bull people.

Loved speed and closer to the edge, and wanted to find out more. Was not disappointed!!

The way he describes a lap around a street circuit in such a detailed way of the mechanics of a bike and how what he is thinking as it reacts to the speed and road, despite never having rode a motorbike I felt I got a little of how it must be.

Top notch insight into all he has done and why he does it. He does things PROPER.

I've never stopped what I'm doing and made so many bookmark notes before. Like ' He had a champagne mouth, but lemonade pockets', and many others that I can't mention here.

Really glad I listened to this

I have the book and have never got around to reading it, partly coz I’m not that bothered about Guys life as I’ve followed his career for so long so I downloaded the audio book to listen too on a long journey. Glad I did. It’s a great book of guys history, his thoughts of what has been said etc and a bloody good laugh
