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.

_"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! ✊🏻

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

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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

[@rootsman99]

I can listen to a Guy Martin interview everyday

[@no_handle_required]

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

He’s gone on to do some amazing things chasing world records

[@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! 😅

[@dennisclanton5342]

Great stuff .

[@fishead1967]

I totally get guy he's one funny and smart bloke, congrats on your new life..

[@mowler8042]

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

[@seroberts1]

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

[@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.

[@markmurphy5390]

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

[@villainofthepiste5858]

TOTAL RESPECT FOR GUY!!

[@ryancdallas]

The people's champ! Love Guy!

[@anthonysimpson4109]

Guy is such a good man.

[@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!

[@hypot1157]

Legend 🙌👍

[@jonneroneill5439]

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

[@lefthandedluke]

I have never ridden faster than my brain can think................and that's the only thing thats kept me alive so far. Good luck with the 300mph bike !!

[@tiii777]

LEGEND

[@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 😂

[@phil6812]

Legend.

[@rocketman2458]

Top bloke.

[@AirwolfBMG]

300mph they a giant Brew, 5 minutes, right what’s next. You get to credit the man💪💪👍😎

[@adammclean7131]

Will guy have another book on the way anytime soon?

[@satanssurfer5965]

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

[@krayzieegg7294]

that would the best tip ever.. know when not to push.. live another day to fight

[@maffbuckley600]

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

[@robbielewis8843]

Your fxuxking awesome Guy

[@finished6553]

This guy is the epidemy of a biker, Guy Martin is the literal translation of biker

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@leso204]

Guys Brain is always doing 100Mph we are just doing catchup' all the time ; - )

[@mikepollard64]

Topman guy av a cup tea and plough on .good luck guy

[@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".

[@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 ?

[@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

[@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

[@slimlc5776]

How can 19 ppl hate this mans videos 🤔

Carl James why did you care to comment

[@prdoohan]

Those camshafts stood uptight on the bench bug me, always taught during my apprenticeship to never leave something where it can fall.

He speaks definitely to fast! ;-)

[@mezalong]

You listen too slow.

[@twincammikev]

Go for 300 guy..👍

[@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]

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

[@jordanmcg1114]

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

[@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.

[@Mike_P646]

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

[@Acestrex]

Put a Percision turbo on the bike!🙄😁😁

[@stephen88hox]

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

[@bukarabdullahi127]

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

[@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.

[@kayneashby9346]

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

[@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

[@Steelman6666]

Simple it’s when you crash obviously

[@josephdunbar2105]

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