GUY MARTIN | How fast is too fast?

The second video in our series. This week we sit down with Guy Martin. We’ve been designing and building Guy’s premium quality gear since 2007. We hit it off the day we met him with Gary Inman back in Sept 2006 and have got on like a house on fire ever since. He’s another remarkable character, from that special breed of Road Racers. Endlessly curious, as fascinated with the physics and the engineering as he is about whether or not he’s up to the challenge.
This video gives a short insight into what makes him tick, what makes him keep pushing the boundaries and what he really thinks about racing at the Isle of Man TT.
Red Torpedo is a casual wear brand for bike fanatics and petrol heads, firmly rooted in the world of Motorcycle Road Racing with all of its unbelievable speed, high adrenaline, bravery and skill. It gives us loads of energy and a commitment to enduring quality that just keeps getting better.

I wouldn't say he's never happy because it's not the succeeding, it's the challenge that makes him happy. We're always learning whatever our age.

playback speed 0.75, and now you understand everything.... google translate now works

Just like TT!

[@okanoa6148]

Thank you 😄😄

[@bluespig1]

Grow up.

[@Steyreon]

works!

[@donniedangerracing]

How fast is too fast, how about Guy Martin's talking?!

[@WayneCarolan]

His mind works even quicker. He is on a different level to most.

[@geemail369]

He keeps repeating most stuff he said to make sure you get it, just in case you've missed it the first time! 😅

[@mowler8042]

I'm convinced now that I can understand every word Guy say's I'm going to be able to learn many languages.

[@hawkeyefire6208]

It would of been nice to look over the bike he was fettling. I miss Guy riding but he makes his own rules and I love that. All the best Guy and family.

[@EuroB0B1]

Yeah i would love to see Guy build anything. Can you imagine the subs if he did a weekly vlog.

[@franwhelan6887]

Just realised, not only does he share his enthusiasm for engineering with Fred Dibnah, he uses a pointy finger too!

[@redtorpedoclothing]

hahahaha!!!

[@tomkelly8427]

Ahh good old Fred. A one off..

[@joeantolak4629]

Fran Whelan the legend the man Fred dibnah very inspiring a true hero

[@chipper442]

Guy could be Fred’s son they are so similar.

[@seroberts1]

I Love this guy !!! He an original wild man !!

[@pajownik]

It would be great evening, to have a few pints with Guy Martin and just listen to what is he up to.

[@spaceman_az]

Darius Z having a pint with any race legend for that matter would be a treat. Guy strikes me as a jolly drunk 😂

[@opustravels3659]

I had to try the auto subtitle feature just to check if it could understand a single word correctly, and to my amazement it's mostly correct! Mad rezpek!

[@dashan6249]

Good on you Guy, don't ever lose your enthusiasm mate.

[@nigel4570]

The man's a legend. End of !

[@geemail369]

_"There's a lot of old riders, there's a lot of bold riders. But there ain't many old bold riders!"_ Guy Martin ~The key ain't pushing hard, but knowing when NOT to push.~ *SO* true! ✊🏻

[@garybillington2239]

Megavalanche has got your name all over it.

[@redtorpedoclothing]

NOW YOU ARE TALKING!! A call out that we would love to see.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

Has he not mentioned it before ?

[@xbladerunner]

That was awesome he just in a way used a quote I have been saying for a few years" There are many old riders and there are many bold riders" "but there are very few old bold riders" My quote has always been "There are young fast guys and there are slow old guys", "but there are very few old fast guys".

[@emlix1]

I only discovered him recently but now I can't live without my daily fix of Guy Martin.

[@jillsmcfarland2001]

Oh, the ultimate interview

[@maffbuckley600]

Imagine a tv show.. building bikes and other stuff with guy..

[@tighematthew]

I would be happy surviving one lap of the isle of man

[@Brad-kq9oc]

You wouldn't if you where having a go first year in.

[@Brad-kq9oc]

@Mass Debater yep, because you know me so well

[@adammclean7131]

Will guy have another book on the way anytime soon?

[@Jonathan-L]

Building bikes is great, but talking about them is THE BEST!!! :)

[@redtorpedoclothing]

we disagree. . . . As much as I love talking about them, I far prefer riding them.

[@johnconner8901]

The destination is the end just enjoy the adventure on the way. Dont be fooled by the carrot

[@anthonysimpson4109]

Guy is such a good man.

[@no_handle_required]

This guy is so fun to watch, pure energy and enthusiasm.

[@melvincannell9449]

Thats the plan cool as a cucumber he is manic but fantastic on a bike guy gets my vote everytime the peoples champion absolutely brilliant

[@krayzieegg7294]

[@markmurphy5390]

Got to admire guy he’s such a down to earth guy

[@jonneroneill5439]

He's always bloody smiling... I'd hate to see his happy face... 🤣🤣🤣

[@tommallon4052]

How fast is too fast? When you get there before you leave.

[@pajownik]

On the contrary. Too fast is when you DON'T get there.

[@PaulMclauchlin]

@@pajownik You got it.

[@k20kdog]

How fast is too fast ,how fast guy talks is too fast haha

[@lightningmcqueen181]

Guy may not be totally happy but his personality sure as hell ring a smile to many fans faced just by being him. I never get bored of watching, listening,learning from guy.he is absolutely brilliant with engineering anything he chooses to touch

[@Mike_P646]

Guy Martin is not a full fuck! Like him though 🤗

[@nuttychickenman]

i hope the 300mph ride goes well

[@redtorpedoclothing]

So do we!! Can't wait for it.

[@ryancdallas]

The people's champ! Love Guy!

[@edwardmorgan2965]

Guy Martin is a working class hero an enigmatic nebulous of a man. A V12 for a heart and petrol instead of blood. He would have been fantastic for Top Gear. Instead they chose Paddy McGuinness-a 1.3 Leyland Metro

[@sfsfewrewsdafs6915]

guy martin, the only racer that talks faster than he rides

[@danjames4086]

Thankfully I'm from northern England, so have no problem with Guy's accent. I only wish I'd had teachers like him at school; I would have learned twice as much in half the time!

[@satanssurfer5965]

This man was born to go fast it's in his DNA

[@pepperthekobold]

I've got an idea for a project when you're done with the 300mph bike Guy. I'm only down the road from you, in Barnetby

Pushing 300mph... (Let that sink in).

[@belmehdilyes7059]

Guy Martin on John Mcguinness: He knows when not to push .... and that’s why he’s still alive because he just knows when to back off. There’s plenty of old raiders. There’s plenty of bold raiders But there is not many old bold raiders.

[@ionmia1669]

Hi Martin,hou fast you want you're bike go? Just tell me and i show you 👍

[@josephdunbar2105]

Can you release this video at 3/4 speed so I can understand what the fuck he’s saying!

[@stephen88hox]

everyone bangs on about TT but the UGP is much better keep your time trials

[@Steelman6666]

Simple it’s when you crash obviously

[@Acestrex]

Put a Percision turbo on the bike!🙄😁😁

[@kayneashby9346]

Let me ride a bike you build guy I'm serious

[@twincammikev]

Go for 300 guy..👍

[@jordanmcg1114]

I'd love to see Guy go through SAS Selections

[@jordanmcg1114]

@Mass Debater I don't think so, I think he'd love it

[@ukdnbmarsh]

Torque is king.

depends.... why do you need the ability to generate horsepower at a given RPM when you are riding TT the revs are inn the top 10% of range about 90% of th time.. seems you aren't correct.

[@beardedmarshmallow5590]

Just go win a tt will ya and stop all the waffle!

[@roblaa3198]

he's finished at the TT pal just not fast enough for a win
