I met Guy at Elvington a couple of years ago . He was getting alot of attention from spectators and competitors etc while he was trying to sort out his very fast Suzuki project . I thought i would leave him in peace to get on with fettling the beast . At the end of the i was walking through the paddock and he walked past and asked me how i was doing which i thought was very good and we discussed all things about mountain bikes and of course motorbikes . My overall impression is a absolutely great chap who made my day . I wish him all the best with his future projects and keep up the good work .
Mostly famous for beeing a eccentric character that did road racing for a while, but still 17 podiums is nothing to scoff at. Get what you mean though.
@@nomdeploom5707 Not entirely the reason the Dutch speak English, I'm sorry to say. This goes back centuries, through alliances with the British, but mainly because of trade. Nobody except the Dutch and Belgians speak Dutch in Europe, the former colonies also often have Dutch as a language. If you don't speak someone's language, you're not going to make a deal. If you do, and speak it well, you're going to get a good deal. English as a second language became the norm after WW2 when Dutch tv started airing a lot of American and British shows, with subtitles instead of dubbing like most other European countries. Combined with English classes that can start as early as 8 years old, but commonly first grade high school (10/11 years old). Depending on the level of high school you're in, you either choose French, German or neither of them, either French or German and on the highest level you need to do both. Including your final exams. Some schools also offer Spanish. The Dutch are surrounded by other languages and to make the most money, it was easiest to just learn them all. I'm not saying we don't appreciate the British, Canadians and Americans for what they did and the liberation, but it is not expressed through speaking the language. Apeldoorn has hosted a parade every 5 years for the Canadian veterans that liberated the city. The pandemic was the first time it was cancelled, since 1945.
@@Yvolve Fair comment. That's just what a few people told me so while you could be historically correct, that's the common sentiment. At least, it was where I was based, in & around Eindhoven.
Epic interview with Guy. He has no filter and speaks his mind on topics whether it be motorsports to restorations of things mechanical . He is awesome on two wheels and has nothing to prove but still pushes the edge the envelope. He is a true National treasure but also a man of great humility. The quote "Better things to die for" was awesome. Cheers from a MCN fan from the US!
As a MANXMAN, we love all the riders, but Guy is so down to earth and you can see 👀 he loves it, i had the honour of meeting him and john Mc Guinness, lovely dudes, and Guy Martin is exactly the same in real life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉greetings from the Isle of man
The program about the Lancaster in Holland was one of the most moving things I have ever seen and guy did a great job of conveying the eomotions of wonder and respect that no doubt many watching felt. Thank you, Guy ❤
Guy, always so entertaining and sincere in his responses to questions. Just a down right good bloke. Work on a truck today, dig up a WW2 bomber tomorrow, maybe set a land speed record the next day. Simply a great attitude. Edit: lets not forget the Merlin engine at full tilt in the workshop story,, priceless.
I will never forget the Merlin story and him removing the governor. The highlight was for me was when he said it had taken him over a year to see the funny side of it 🤣
The Dutch government put ours to shame, doing all that teaching and honouring the dead, what a very respectful nation, guy talking so passionately about that and he obviously cares alot for the subject. Nice one guy your a great guy.
Don't forget the electorate is made up of us, the younger mps and leftie mps feel the war ii ww should be forgotten, the snowflake and victim brigate or c electorate as you call it is tomorrow's mps, very scary
It's all the drugs he's taken during his lifetime. To be honest I've been a big fan of guy martin myself for over 10 years or ever since he got a spotlight on F1 pitstop video that showed his mechanic skills, motorcycle skill and even some quick hard working lad all around. I wasn't aware he got in a bike accident not until 2 to 3 years after the video of F1 came out and I was delusional that guy was this supernatural kind of captain america dude that could and has done almost anything. Although he has stayed busy for many years and as a mechanic myself I have to agree that being a formula 1 mechanic takes real balls and most guys if not all of the teams are next level people. But to my point once I realized that guy martin was in a bike wreck I started researching how most if not everybody involved in accidents specially bike accidents tended to not be the same anymore. Most of the bikers I've met whom I have close friendship have told me that none of these so called tv personas that act and look all brave and almost supernatural like are really like that in real life. I had my doubts until I pieced everything together and came to the conclusion that most definitely guy martin had to be on some drugs in order to alleviate the pain from the wreck he once was in. And to my surprise dude's been on them drugs ever since then. Oh and I also wrote this while frogged so. 😂
I'm not really sure what it is about Guy Martin. But I'm drawn to him like a month to a flame. I think that maybe it's his effervescent enthusiasm, along with his amazing knowledge and his absolute determination that draws me in.
Does anyone else find that when he speaks you can’t walk away, genuinely a nice guy (no pun intended) loved watching him ride, saw his reaction when he finished testing a rotary engine once and it was pure excitement. can’t wait to see him break the 300mph.
Big fan of this man for his achievements and his no bull personality. Would live to see him do the Dakar, mainly because it's way outside of his wheelhouse, and it would be interesting to watch him decompile it and do it. What a legend.
As an engineer, bike builder / rider "faffing about" is a way of life LOL. Guy takes it to the next level. Best race Ive ever seen was Guy and Michele at the Southern 100 dicing for 1st, out of two bikes and 4 wheels there were never more than 2 on the deck at any one time. Done the End 2 End a few times with Guy in the pack, obviously he just fu*ks off! The bloke is a wizard yet real humility, rare to find today. Never watch TV unless Guy is on, settle down with a brew, learn something and be entertained with zero media BS...genius.
I can fondly remember Guy, far too many years ago, at Kirkistown race circuit in Co. Down N. Ireland he had an old white Transit with a toolbox and I think it was his sister that was with him, I stopped to have a look at his bike and he spoke to me as if we had grown up together, most of the spectators just passed him by, that was just before he hit the big time.
Totally agree about the technology in MotoGP, that's why the series is prototype. There's always world super bike if you'd rather watch street-based bikes race and the talent pool is huge in both series.
I didn't renew my MotoGP pass this year because the rules have turned it into NASBIKE and passing often requires the riders to take very high risks. I'd much rather watch the locals pull throttle cables at Chicken Licks Raceway.
I understand that all racing follows the sponsor money that it requires to work, but like social media there is an echo chamber effect when the promoters don't pay attention to diversity of racers and sponsors. MotoGP has become dominated by Spanish riders, sponsors and promoters. A token American or South African rider isn't going to make it a global competition, so they need to do much better, starting with every nation that has bought the TV rights. Obviously nobody will pay if they have no riders of their nation in any of three classes.. WSBK has a much better collection of racers, though Dorna thinks it can be a dumping ground for old MGP riders, allowing them to bring M2 riders up to MGP. That ignores the legitimate need to bring WSSP riders to WSBK, and national SBK champions, too. This was inevitable when Dorna got WSBK, but they need to be careful not to make WSBK as irrelevant as MGP...
@Guy, I understand the constant internal push for the next lesson and once in a while wondering if you will ever stop and feel complete. I started as a bike mechanic, joined the navy, became an electrician, delivered my daughters, went to uni and got three degrees, got helicopter and plane licenses, got marine skippers tickets, hand built two race cars and won a seasons third place with no crew or sponsors, been rescue volunteer of the year twice, travelled the world as an automation engineer, built the boat I live in and finally seem at peace with the world but wanting to learn to play music. I want to hand my ticket in at the end with no desires left to fulfil. Getting to a stage of near contentment is rather blissful and all the stuff I have done is just stuff I have done, it’s what I do that matters. I will raise the next cup of tea to you chap!
Love Guy Martin been watching his shows for years. It's great hearing how he thinks about things and seeing his thinking in the expressions on his face.
I haven't heard anything about Guy for a few years, I assumed he'd retired from public life and gone back to spannering trucks. Good to see him still excited, animated and buzzing.
Nice interview! Guy was a seriously talented roads racer, anyone that wins UGPs in the era he raced was no mug. Really enjoyed that Spitfire documentary - pity our government don’t give a stuff about what men did in WW2
Hard to see how the Dutch government could solve the human remains without UK government records and involvement. However civil servants doing their day job is not the same as a nation engaged in showing the proper respect to those who gave their lives for our freedom. Per Adua Ad Astra. I'm guessing that the Royal British Legion would be more interested than MoD..
Refreshing to hear somebody like Guy saying he wants to see more technology advancement in bikes. Somebody that just loves life and wants it to keep getting better
National Hero. I still proudly wear my Guy Martin AGV helmet in the winter, it often gets noticed and commented on, so its not just me. I have some of his Van stickers ready for my new van soon too. 'Its not just a van, its my van'. Keep it up Guy. ps my old best mate is from Ashby Road, Scunthorpe. Guy, for the trials riding try an electric one, Al Fagan reckons its the only purpose fit for electric bikes, no tricky clutch and throttle control, no noise to listen for like revs high enough etc. Go and win it next year
Guy Martin, a legend in his own life time, an amazing personality, a "bloody nice bloke" and just so down to earth! The world needs more Guys like Guy, and it would be a better place! (Pun intended).
He's right about Moto GP. They should do what WEC did with Hypercar: targets for weight, downforce, power & drag.. provided you hit those targets you can build whatever. WEC's popularity is skyrocketing because everything is different but the racing is close. Which is what everyone wants.
I'm glad that one of the best and most influential racers of all time agrees that prototype racing should be breaking boundaries and creating the absolute racing machine.
What a cool cucumber Guy is...I'm an American who grew up on two wheels and had some success in racing, earning an AMA Expert/Pro License in both 125cc Motocross (as a 17 year old), and an AMA Expert/Pro license in 250cc/350cc Road Race as an 18 year old but then hung the racing leathers up for Engineering College. I certainly know of Guy's exploits at the Isle of Mann TT, but had never heard him speak at length before. One of the few men on the planet that I would feel comfortable throwing some hero worship at!
IL b headn there soon for the Manx. If uv been , let me know a few best places to watch. I'm thinkn up near Joey's statue and Crosby pub atea@@ragereset2795
They penalized him for going .14 Kph over the speed limit in the pit of the TT. Point 14 KPH. Not ONE over. Point 14. Im still pissed about it actually. Pretty sure he would’ve won that race first place
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 Oh, we're all still pissed about that penalty. Like Wilson said, 5 seconds maybe. Not thirty. Thirty was ridiculous. Some self-important fatso with his stopwatch gets to render 300km of life-risking racing pointless over a tenth of a mile an hour on pit exit? Pathetic.
In this day and age with social media and PR isn't it nice to have someone who is probably more famous and respect than those with 1M followers and just talks in an every day manner, doesn't tow the party line & does not offend in any way.There aren't too many who do that.
Hearing him talk will never get old. Cross between trying to figure out what in the hell he’s saying, while also trying to digest his point of view. He needs to narrate a TT documentary - PLEASE
Genuine bloke. living the dream
Yeah he's a Great "Guy" 😁
Possibly the most genuine, grounded sportsman. and personality, on earth. If we were all so humble......
I've got so much respect for Guy Martin. His humility iss impresive.
Too right, he still goes round to my mates farm and drives the combine when they are pushed.
I met Guy at Elvington a couple of years ago . He was getting alot of attention from spectators and competitors etc while he was trying to sort out his very fast Suzuki project .

What a nice man. Hea a breath of fresh air. Been watching him for a long time and he never changes
The most famous rider that never won a TT but is still talked about as the face of the TT.
Thing with Guy is he is interested in so much more than just the TT. Do not mean that rude as love the TT but he has a lot more interests.
Mostly famous for beeing a eccentric character that did road racing for a while, but still 17 podiums is nothing to scoff at. Get what you mean though.
...yeah, no win, but.. Truck mechanic, works 9 to 5, not a pro racer, 17 podiums...
Not exactly "every man and his dog would do it".
He brought the TT to the masses with is unpolished vocabulary and no BS attitude.............he brought the high brow elitist back to reality.
No he's not, go every year. Barely a mention of the chap. Times move on. Dunlop hickman todd Harrison are the face of the tt
Well bless the Dutch government for doing that.
I lived there for a bit & wondered why they all spoke fantastic English. This is why. They have massive respect for what happened in WWII. Fair play.
Nothing new from the Dutch government.. respect is equal 👍👍

@@pitchforkpeasant6219 Oh, we're all still pissed about that penalty. Like Wilson said, 5 seconds maybe. Not thirty. Thirty was ridiculous. Some self-important fatso with his stopwatch gets to render 300km of life-risking racing pointless over a tenth of a mile an hour on pit exit? Pathetic.
In this day and age with social media and PR isn't it nice to have someone who is probably more famous and respect than those with 1M followers and just talks in an every day manner, doesn't tow the party line & does not offend in any way.There aren't too many who do that.
Hearing him talk will never get old. Cross between trying to figure out what in the hell he’s saying, while also trying to digest his point of view. He needs to narrate a TT documentary - PLEASE
Love guy Martin 🙂 great interview
It's not what I've done, it's what I'm doing. That's a great mantra.
I wept at that bomber programme. Knowing the Dutch government of all stripes have dedicated time and funds to recovering our airmen broke me.
