Guy Martin takes you on the ride of his life.
Knee down, wrestling with a 210-horsepower superbike and tearing up the tarmac at 180 mph. For international road-racing hero, maverick star of the Isle of Man TT, petrol-head and truck mechanic Guy Martin, nothing feels as good as the adrenaline rush at killer speeds.
In this explosive and revealing autobiography, Guy tells it straight. He takes us behind the scenes of modern road racing and into the pits with his mechanics, his bosses, his machines and his fellow racers.
Meet his family, his friends, his rivals and find out where it all began; from the small-town boy growing up watching his Dad build superbikes, to the headstrong young racer and his first taste of success at Cadwell Park and Rockingham, to the underground Irish scene and riding the greatest road race of them all, the Isle of Man TT. Discover what it feels like to stare death in the face and risk it all for the craic, to survive a horrific 170 mph fireball at the 2010 TT, and come back to do it all again.
This is the thrilling story of how a working-class lad with a passion for speed, a determination to succeed, and an endless capacity for endurance and hard graft, became an icon of world sport.
