The Phenomenal Sunday Times No1 Bestseller '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 170mph, 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 170mph
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.
